Escaping Reality

I have five loads of laundry on my bed waiting to be folded and put away.
This is what happens when you put off doing it on the weekend!

So, to kill some time, I thought I'd show you some of the key elements to a dream home that's in my head.

gray cedar shakes with too many windows to count and window boxes adorning every one of them.

this could be my front door, my back door, my side door...just so long as it's a door at my  house.

I love wood tones mixed with creamy white cabinets and I love farm sinks and I love wood floors in a kitchen.

 but my wood floors would need to look like this.


I'd find a way to have this little jewel on another side of my kitchen.


love the idea of having the table built over the top of front loading machines.


this is called love at first sight.


and I'd have this little vignette on top of my bathroom countertops

And, this would be in my backyard.

All of these lovely photos can be found here.


Okay. back to reality.
I'm off to fold some clothes!!

  5. Too funny, Tara. I do the very same thing when overwhelmed with laundry and cleaning...I stare at clean and pretty rooms on Pinterest...just wishing my house would look as clean by osmosis! ;)

  7. Love these images so. much. I'm a sucker for a white kitchen (says the girl who painted her cabinets black.. :) And I also? The folding and putting away the laundry? The worst part for sure.

    I'm looking for your email but can't find it - had a question for you if you get the chance -
