We live in a very modest sized home. Don't get me wrong we love it and it's perfect for us now, but once in awhile, I daydream of the day when we have a little more room. I'm a sucker for the beach house/cottage spaces... talk about laid back. I'd be wearing flip flops for the rest of my life if I lived in this place. I love the paneling on the ceiling. That will have to be a definite project in the future for our place, as well as the transom windows above the doors.
I've been keeping an eye out for some free wood, especially old and worn kind of like this table. I'd like to build a dining table someday. I think it'd be a great project with the end result getting years of everyday use. I can see it now, after every dinner... "kids, your dad built this table with his own two hands."...kids reply with, "I know dad, sheesh!"images via Country Home Ideas
I'm the lucky husband to an amazing woman and father of the most beautiful girl. For some strange reason I have the nesting gene in my family. Having been a graphic designer for ten years I believe in the power of color, light, space, visual balance and how all these things including objects can have a dramatic effect on the energy of a room and the people who enter them. I try to make our environment comfortable, useful and inviting for our family and friends. This blogging community is a world of inspiration and talent and I only hope I can can return the favor. Thanks for visiting.
