Dreaming of a Dream House

Dreaming of a Dream House

I love this house, it's from the movie Practical Magic. I'd live there!

This looks like a real life fairy tale cottage.

Outside of Practical Magic house... still love it!

     A couple of weeks ago I wrote an entry about houses and how I hope to build my own on day, so I thought I would post another entry about recent pictures that I've found on this subject.  Yes, I will say it up front most of my idea come from movies... like if I struck it rich one day with the lotto I would find Nancy Meyers and have her make a house for me.  Seriously, have you seen her set designs they are beautiful!!!

Any house I have I want a screened in porch or sunroom... couldn't you image playing Scrabble or Gin Rummy on a rainy day?

I like this one the most!

But I love the black woodwork of this one.

     One thing that is important to me is that I have little touches that make the house mine.  I love vintage inspirations, so I think having a panel or two of stained glass windows somewhere is a must.  I think I would put it in the kitchen or an office or even a bathroom.  Big windows are also a must, once upon a time I cleaned houses for a living and the best house I ever cleaned was a 70 year old house that had original bathroom octagon tiles and huge huge windows!  I was cleaning it in late spring, (you know the time when it rains every two or three days?) anyways everything was so green this house and the greenery reminded me of Twilight.  Don't judge me, the first one was the best one.  So yeah, my home should I get my way will have lots of natural lights and vintage touches!

I found this on Pinterest, I would love this in my home!

     I am firm believer of the whole concept of the kitchen being the heart of a home.  I love cooking and baking, not to mention drinking so the kitchen is my sanctuary.  I love having friends over and cooking for them.  Don't know why, maybe it's because all my friends are having kids and they can cook for their families and I don't so I just cook meals for my friends instead?  Not sure but I love having people over and sharing a meal with them.  So here's some pictures of what I would call heaven...

I like the Earthy qualities of this picture.

But love the white in this one... I think this will always have to be a dream because Dan doesn't like white that much. Sad face.

I think you may be noticing a them going one... I love white porcelain sinks!!

This one really is the best though!!

    

     The other important part to a house is the bathrooms.  Mainly the master bath, I don't so much care about the other ones.  Now we see I have no children yet, right?  I'm completely selfish... just kidding!  Even in my bathrooms I want big windows and lots of natural light, guess I better live out in the middle of no where so random people don't see me naked!  LOL!!  Although when we went to New York there where huge windows in there and I really could care less if someone was watching me while I showered!

     Now that I've been introduced to Pinterest I've found so many awesome pictures that I would add to my own house.  So I thought I would share with you... enjoy and tell me what'cha think!

Love and Dream Homes for everyone!
