52 Weeks of Floor Plans...Week 15!

Week 15!

15 is one of my favorite #s, so its only fitting that I love this design, and I'm conveniently posting this on October 15th!

The stone around the stove really catches my eye, especially with the wood beam above. To limit the look of modern amenities, I would use under the counter refrigerators. I would also stick with rustic wood pieces on the island facade.

Would love a cowhide rug in the entry way. Maybe a coat hook on the wall.

Light colors in the bedroom and simple furniture and accessories.

Neutral colors in the living space....

The wood-burning stove evokes traditional cabin style, but the settee and light-colored walls create a modern appeal.

Or...

Subtle pops of color like a pale blue or tamed orange.

Love this earthy table.

Lions & Tigers & Bears...

T & D's Cats of the World! Over the last few years (since finishing grad school and actually acquiring free time), I've been expanding my knowledge of the area and venturing to new places. Today I got the opportunity to visit T&D's Cats of the World, an animal refuge for exotic felines and wildlife - only $10 a person. I've always wanted to see a black bear in the wilderness, so for now, this will have to do. It was a warm day, so one of the many bears decided to chill in the pool. Baby Patagonian! Selfie with the deer! Bengal Tiger! 2 Bears chilling... I feel like they were like us, just waiting to see another species walk by the fence for a look. "Hey Bob, look, here come some more humans!" Bear Selfie! Lion! It's sad to see the animals engaged, but at least they are in a better habitat than their previous homes. Totally worth the drive and a nice way to spend the afternoon!

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...

In 6 weeks you can...Run a 5k!

2013 was supposed to be a year of greatness, and it started off right... until February. My love life flipped upside down, and after a week of feeling like hell, I found a challenge to bring me back. My thoughts were... 6 weeks to take out my frustration and anger by pounding pavement (or in my case the treadmill.) The timing couldn't have been better, for it was the start of Lent, and I've never been one to stick to something. I was determined, I was motivated, and I found a schedule that was completely manageable. So February 18th was the start of 6 weeks of discovery. Could I do this? I was never a runner - the opposite actually. I was the girl in high school who would get a doctor's note using her asthma as an excuse to get out of running the mile, and then the next year, would run 3 laps claiming to have done 4 for a passing grade. I figured this would last a week or two, never 6! Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday for 6 wee...
