52 Weeks of Floor Plans - Week 8!

Week 8!

  I have always had very vivid dreams, and often dream of houses.  This week's design was such that.  I had a dream that I was celebrating a holiday weekend with friends and family on a property with this dwelling.  In my dream, I spent just as much time inside as out, and felt the openness and airy feel to the space.  



Below are various inspirational images that I would reference when decorating the space.

An organized space for the laundry (because I'm a clean freak.)

Double sinks, with a floating vanity.
Interesting use of a long narrow mirror over two sinks. I'm thinking Ikea's $99 wood framed mirror here.

Great tile in a neutral color scheme.

52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 21!

Week 21! I have a cozy bedroom now, and love its quaint size, so I stemmed this weeks design with the simplicity of the room.  The only change I would make to my current space would be to switch the window wall (I only sleep on my right side, so I would love it if the sunrise would be conveniently positioned to wake me in the morning.  I love this wall color and the retro couch.  And I'm a sucker for orange/ peach roses.   Source A clean color scheme with eclectic accents for the kitchen. Source This deep blue with white trim and light wood are very serene and relaxing (and there is a chevron blanket which makes me like this space even more!)  Source Chevron! Source I would love a walk in closet, even if a small one.  Source Simple and clean counters, dark cabinetry. Source Walk in shower with glass tile & a simple bench. Source Small but beautiful powder room. Source

Last few weeks to Kayak @ Rickett's Glen!

One of my favorite places to visit in the area is Rickett's Glen State Park, and especially the Sunny Side Marina  on Lake Jean where I rent kayaks throughout the summer.   (The family who owns the business is wonderful and always a pleasure to talk to!) Lake Jean has amazing views, and if you are lucky, you will spot the bald eagle flying around the sky as you explore the water.  I was lucky enough last summer to witness the amazing sight - 20 feet in front of me, the eagle flew down and grabbed a fish from the lake and soared back into the sky.  It was beautiful and a day I will never forget.  The lake even has an island that you can park your kayak at and get out and walk around.   Family Outing a few weeks ago - Josh, Mark, Julie, Rita (mom), me, Jim (dad), Laura, Eric, and Mark Jr. Sadly the lake will be drained Spring 2015, and will be closed until Spring 2016.  I highly recommend that you visit this place ASAP and ren...

52 Weeks of Floor Plans - Week 4!

Welcome! Every week for the next year, I will be posting an original floor plan and designs that reflect my belief in simple living.   I've been toying with the idea of buying land and building a small cottage, or starter home, that I can use one day as a studio or guest house.  I've found a few inspirational images from Houzz and Pinterest that really fuel the designs, and I hope you enjoy!   Week 4! As my obsession with cottage designs continues, this week I'm inspired more by the beach and water, and thought of a plan that reflected this new inspiration.   Saturday I spent the morning kayaking on a lake with a college friend, and I would love to have a small dwelling along the water.  Lake Jean I would love to stick with natural earth tones, and add pops of blue, like the image below. Source Awesome side table I saw at TJ Maxx this past weekend!  Would work well with rounded glass top! The breakfast nook could ho...
