Great Room

I love the round table in the middle of the seating area.  It also pulls in most of the colors I love.  I don't know if I love the busyness of the rug with the furniture.  I think I would go with something more solid.  But I love the shade of blue and how well it goes with the pink, green and brown.

Here's another one of those round tables that I love. I love the pop of the yellow.  I love to see colorful rooms.  I'm a little iffy on the rug again,  I think it is too busy for the size of the room.  I do like the different patterns in the pillows. I wish I knew where the white side table came from.  It is so cool.

I love the curtains separating the two areas in this room.  It keeps them defined in a great way.  I really love the cushy ottoman.  Someday I will learn to make me one of those.

I love the built in bookcases in this room.  My book cases are definitely overstuffed and I would love to have a whole wall of shelves to fill like these.

I am sure I will find more pictures that I love for my great room. I look forward to the time when I can post my actual great room decorating.

Building A House

I am saving my pennies to build a house someday.  I hope it will be within the next 5 years but we will see.  The house plan I am loving right now is by Designs for Living.  I love the master suite taking up the entire upstairs.  I plan to make it into a beach retreat.  Feel free to send me links to any ideas you may have.  I plan to put up all the plans I have and I hope to get some feedback.



I will spend the next few days posting the different pictures I have found for the different rooms and how I want them to look.

I love the porches on this plan.  I remember sitting on my Grandma's porch when I was little and listening to the rain.  I would love to share that with my kids.
