Where Will July Take Us?

I wonder where July will take us...I have been dreaming lately...

I actually LOVE this house too...

And this one...


When I dream of the home I want to live in forever so many ideas run through my mind.  I like so many different elements that I am not sure where I would start or how I would pick.  I like the log cabin look, I like modern, I like country, I like Victorian...I just like sooo much! 

And who would love this?  It might be a little too modern for me but you get the idea...I don't want stiff...

I want my home to have some charm.  I do not want a cookie cutter house.  I would live a big wrap around porch with a porch swing in the front.  I don't necessarily want to be in the country, but I really don't want neighbors so close that I can see into their house.  I'd love a backyard...some rock landscape and some grass.  I'd like to have a small garden.  I'd like to live somewhere that has actual seasons.  I would like large mature trees in the back and maybe even an apple tree. All of this near the city....keep dreamin right?  We'll see. 
For the inside I'd love vaulted beamed ceilings; open floor plan; double sinks (granite) in all the bathrooms; a garden tub and separate  marble shower in the master bath with the toilet separate from the sink and shower area (with a door); in the main bath upstairs I would really kind of like it to be a lot like the master bath; I'd like a 3rd full bathroom with just a tub/shower, sink, and water saving toilet; a fireplace in the master bedroom, a fireplace in the great room, a separate family room, a formal dining room, an eat in kitchen, a den, 5 bedrooms, a large master bedroom with a sitting area and a big window so I can sit in the chair and read and 4 other large bedrooms all with walk in closets, a finished basement (man cave), finished 3 car garage, a huge patio with a built in BBQ, a sun room, a pool (maybe); hardwood floors and maybe slate in the bathrooms, as far as paint goes...warm colors-nothing too dark and not start white all through the house...and the kitchen....well, every woman wants their kitchen...and I like different kinds of kitchens...

I have seen classic kitchens and dark kitchens with all the amenities...I am not sure what I would pick when it came down to it.  I like light, natural light, so maybe I should stick with a classic kitchen with stainless steel appliances of course....

See, from all the pictures above I just don't know what I would pick...I want warm and cozy, big with a lot of natural light...oh boy...I am going to have to start putting a binder together of all the things I love.

Until next time...keep dreaming...where will your dreams take you....
