52 Weeks of Floor Plans--Week 52!

Well, my 52 weeks has come to an end!

I still love the idea of using recycled materials for building a modern cottage. Possibly if I combined shipping container skeletons and covered in rustic wood. Maybe I could find recycled skyscraper windows for large picturesque views.

A long galley style kitchen would be ideal for the slender space. Here are a few of my favorites:

I also love the idea of a rooftop deck/ patio. I would love a space to retreat to in the Spring, Summer, and Fall! Not to mention to plant an adorable garden for flowers and vegetables.

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!

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 50!

I love the exterior of this place! It would be perfect with the rear of the house facing a small lake so I could wake up and go kayaking before starting my days! Source Maybe a lake and deck like this... Source I found this galley kitchen with a great decorative floor tile, simple white subway tile, and wood counter-tops. Source Another great tile! Source And finally this beautiful light blue faded shower tile! Source
