house or home

right now luke and i are perfectly content with being in our little apartment as a little family...we are looking for a bit of an upgrade :) so we put in an offer on a cute little house. as much as we would love to get the house...if it goes to someone else we totally trust that the Lord knows what's going on.

i know that i'm not supposed to get attached to it by trying to decorate and stuff like that...but i've of course been planning ahead a bit!




this is what i'd like for the guest bedroom to look like...well kind of...i'd like for the detail wall to be the teal....and i'd love big white book cases to be built against a wall...is that too much to ask :)



i will also for sure have black walls with a stencil of black somewhere in the house....i've loved black walls for the bathroom since the harman's house. it's beautiful! i've also thought about painting this big center wall...that i don't know how to describe...aside from it's the surrounding walls for the pantry...that you can walk around to get into the kitchen, family room and/or the front entrance. hmmm...decisions decisions :)



i plan on painting the whole downstairs gray...well at least most of it. i'm going to do it in pigeon gray. it's beautiful...the area director and his wife have thier family room painted in that color. i'd like to be able to have a pretty uniform look...but to have accent walls etc.



this house doesn't have the best cabinets in the kitchen...the house is fabulous...just has cosmetic not so greats :) so anywho...something will have to be dont with the cabinets...i think that i'm going to paint them a blue color...i want to have something similar to what is in my kitchen now...that is blueish with a hint of green. oh and ps i love the floors! :)

so this is a bit of what i'd like for our home...i shouldn't get my heart set on this...but gracious...it'd be fun to turn it into this :)
