Last night tom and i went by "our house" to show my sister its fabulousness so i decided i would take some photos while i was there. I wanted to bust out my measuring tape but i thought that might be too much. i refrained.
BTW- we still love it just as much and even more!
The only odd, but still great, thing about the house is the living room. there is no formal dining room which will be a challenge when we design our living room to incorporate a dining area. I have seen this done many times but with the location of sliding doors, windows, counter tops, it may be challenging. The great things about the room though are the high ceilings, sky lights, and overall lighting. You get a very warm and welcoming feeling when you enter the room. (you'd get a more warm and welcoming feeling if there wasn't 36 tons of junk all over the place)
Tom was surfing the Internet looking for flooring that he liked (so cute, i know) and came across this photo which he sent over to me.
Oddly enough this room is almost identical to "our" living room! The size, shape, windows, beams, etc. We LOVE the wood floors and I love the idea of having a fireplace and mantle on that far wall... Tom loves the idea of putting a flat screen above that fireplace and mantle. In the future hopefully we will be able to do something similar with our room. Just cleaning it out and opening up the space will make a WORLD of difference.
I'm also loving this set up which is again similar to ours.
I love that fireplace and really like how they have hung their drapes. Since the windows are narrow on either side, they have hung them to the outside. this allows you to have the impact of drapes without busying up the wall. it also allows the natural light come through which is one of the things that makes "our" room so charming.
So my friends, we continue to be "CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC" on "our house" and i continue to decorate in my dreams.
