52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 25!

The 25th design conveniently on the 25th day of December!
Since it's Christmas, only fitting to design Santa's cottage! A central fireplace with hearths in every room.  Simple & Cozy.


I love the simple decorations of Christmas, and am hoping to celebrate Christmas 2015 with some of these ideas!

Popcorn and Cranberry strung for the tree!
Cranberries and popcorn garland lovely on the tree then you put it outside for the birds - Solstice tree

Burlap for a rustic feel....
Using burlap in your Christmas tree! (add white lights!!) - Click image to find more Home Decor Pinterest pins

rustic winter decor//Cinnamon sticks around free standing pillar candles

Homemade Ornaments!
Blow up a balloon, wrap it with string, lace...paint, let dry, and pop the balloon...voila ornament! I'll try the lace. So pretty

Rag ball ornament...I would use home spun fabric in christmas colors

Homemade Ornaments - cut up a tree branch and make rustic ornaments or use them as gift toppers!

DIY Christmas: Jingle Bell Pine Cone Christmas Tree Ornament. Would be cute with pine cones spray painted metallic silver or gold.

Easy to create a "frosty" effect using white glue and epsom salt -Clever Nest

Tree Topper!
Clever. This star is made out of a cereal box.

Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas & get the opportunity to cherish the day with family & friends!

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

Traveling & Life

My last post for my 52 weeks of floor plans conveniently coincided with a vacation I'd been anticipating all year.  I took 10 days off work - something I rarely do!  July 2nd I went on an adventure down south to places I had never been, with people I had never met but have long connections with!  I saw amazing views along the way... Somewhere in North Carolina.... I was able to cross "The Biltmore Estate" off my bucket list & visited Asheville, NC.  And my cousin's corny joke, "It's a little small....they could have built more" We then continued to South Carolina for a family reunion on the 4th!  And finally, my favorite part of the trip, the Smokey Mountains.  (Cosby, Tennessee) We stayed at a secluded log cabin on the top of a mountain with our own private road and 35 acres with trails on the property.   I sadly saw no bears, but heard them in the woods around us in the early hours of the morning.  I spent m...

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.   Source Loving the color of the wood. Source Would love a cowhide rug in the entry way.  Maybe a coat hook on the wall. Source Light colors in the bedroom and simple furniture and accessories. Source Neutral colors in the living space.... Source Or... Subtle pops of color like a pale blue or tamed orange.  Source Love this earthy table. Source Simple white tile in the bathroom with an open shower. Source And outside, would love a garden like this: Source Source
