Addictions and Dreams

So I am addicted to pinterest.. well not completely, but pretty close. I can definitely live without it, but if i wasn't in school and had a real house I would be so addicted. It has so many wonderful craft ideas and house decoration ideas. Plus it is full of awesome recipes, I love making them when I have the chance.

Don't all of those just look delicious?! 

Well today the oh so addicting Pinterest, lead me to this website www.houzz.com and even more addicting website with every possible inspiration for a house you could think of ( plus you can make your own idea boards - eeks!). Lately I have been on a "Dream House" kick, probably due to Pinterest and this website has done absolutely nothing for my productivity. But it has got me to thinking about what I want someday when Laren and I buy a house someday or even hopefully get to build a house of our own. Some of the fun ideas that have sparked my interest are 

I'm super into kitchens! I want a big kitchen that is open and bright and really organized. 

I love this entry. I definitely want a mudroom like this in my house somday! 

Pinterest has some awesome laundry room ideas. I love having a shelf over the washer and dryer to fold clothes. 

My mom loves church pews and so we have a couple in our home. I think this is such a cute idea for an entry hallway!

I think this kitchen is beautiful! I hope that I can have one like it someday!

I have always had an obsession for French Doors and would love to have them in my bedroom. Especially if they opened up onto a wrap around porch. I know - dream on!

I had bookcases in my room as a kid and they were more of a pain than a fun decoration as I got older, I never knew quite where to put them. I love that they are built in here, with a window seat to read. I think this would be doable for a boy or a girl!

This would be great in a living room or bonus room!

A big wrap around porch is a dream of mine.. maybe someday!! 

You'll probably think i'm a weird backwards nerd, but I love all these and would love them even more if they were in a big farmhouse style house out in the country with lots of acreage and no neighbors!! My dream is to live in a small town where the zoning laws require everyone to have at least 5 acres ( that's what they are where I grew up) and being able to have a huge barn, lots of animals and room for my kids to play outside all the time!
