So going through my living room and dining room Pinterest boards made me realize that there is no way I could choose just one single style for either room. They are just too full of possibilities.


For the dining room we've got to have a big round table and super killer chairs. Duh.



I like the idea of books in the dining room. More of a library where they allow food, sort of.





OK, this one isn't a round table, but its good.


The living room, like the rest of the house will have tall ceilings, lots of beautiful moldings and big huge windows.







And many french doors out to the huge porch.

I don't think I even scratched the surface really. There is no way I could narrow it down. That's it, I'm just going to have to have several living rooms and dining rooms.

What about you? Do you have a style you dream about but don't have in your own home? Any feature you would add to a space if the sky was the limit? Want CoCo to make you a G&T for the afternoon?

Hey sunshine! Did you have a good weekend? Spend anytime on Pinterest? I did (follow me here) and I actually had an occasion to search for something on one of my boards. It got me thinking - I pin like a mad woman, but how often do I ever really go back and look thru what I've pinned?

Not often enough is the answer. Why am I pinning all of these wonderful images if not to use them for inspiration/daydreaming.

So I've decided I'm going to use Pinterest to create my dream house and today I'm starting with the outside.

Something a bit farmhouse like is striking my fancy.


Or maybe cedar shake. Either way, I want lots of windows and a nice big front porch.


 Of course this frankenstein house is on a grand lot with a long winding path,



which takes you to a front door with some major presence





There is a courtyard in the back with a lovely pool


surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens that my tan house boy CoCo maintains.


Beyond will be an herb garden that would make Ina proud


and more hydrangeas that I can count.


There also needs to be a gate somewhere



And a carriage house/garage, for CoCo's apartment of course.



What about you? What would your Pinterest dream house look like?
