It's a good day

January 10th - we got our site plans approved!  So now all we are waiting for are the architect plans to move through the county just as fast.  It is slowely feeling like we are going to be able to begin some work on this house soon.  Just trying to stay positive.

We've decided it's important to have a fireplace in the family room - so this is what I like.  One that is down on the floor and looks as real as it can while still being gas.    Now all I have to do is make sure the mantel is low enough for the TV above. 


Some other ideas for rooms that I am going to try and replicate:

I just love this mudroom.

Our study is extremely long and thin - I am hoping to create a wall of bookshelves that looks like this.  I plan to place my desk in the middle of the bookshelves, facing out (where we will have a window).

This is the "adult" look I would like to achieve for the basement rec room.  But I have a feeling it will have a lot more toys around.



This is the master bedroom closet that I must recreate.  Once again we have a long, thin space that we need to make every part count.



This arch in the kitchen is exactly what I need to make a seperation statement between our kitchen and den rooms.

This Laundry room is just perfect for the house.  I hope I have space for a center island!

This sink would be great fun in the boys bathroom.  The tile shelf below is a must for a place to put towels.

The alcove for this bathtub is just beautiful.  The size of the vanity is perfect for a standard bathroom.

This is an almost exact view of our master bath vanity.  I love the length, and the window.


I cannot get ahead of myself.  We have not even started construction, but I am so ready.
