the making of my dream home: kitchen.

next up is the dream home kitchen. it will have an old wood burning stove, pops of colour, great floors, pots that hang from the ceiling, a beautiful sink area and tiles for sure. thank you, pinterest.

the making of my dream home: bedroom.

apparently my dream bedroom has a canopy bed?! i'm also leaning towards wood panelled walls, a kooky bed frame, twinkly lights and lush linens in my signature all white look or maybe i venture into the land of colour. bunk beds could be really fun in the guest room or the kid's bedroom. i'm also not sure why i haven't purchased a hudson bay blanket yet from my home and native land (canada), as i'm always drawn to them on pinterest. et voilà - my dream home; the bedroom edition.

the making of my dream home: windows.

my dream home, built by pinterest will have big, beautiful windows, streaming in lots of light. some will be warehouse style floor to ceiling and some might be circular skylights. there will definitely be a place to cuddle up next to a gorgeous view and the facade will be all shutters and flower boxes galore.

 

the making of my dream home: fireplace.

moving on to the interior of my dream home, built by pinterest; she will need a fireplace or preferably two. the more mantles to dress the merrier! i've always dreamt of having one in the bedroom. how cozy would that be and so old-fashioned too.

the making of my dream home: outside.

next, to add some important outdoor features to my pinterest dream home. this place would need plenty of outdoor plants, a rooftop garden depending on where it is, outdoor lounging and dining area for al fresco dinners, a fire pit, definitely an outdoor shower and bath and maybe a pool. ooh, so dreamy.

 

the making of my dream home: exterior.

so, i reached 10,000 followers on pinterest sometime last month and have been too busy to shout out a little 'yippee' for it and let you all know. i am constantly on there searching for inspiration (i find it really relaxing) and day dreaming about my future home…amongst other things i.e. awesome outfits, crafts for a rainy day, etc. i thought i would celebrate this mini milestone by building my dream home, pinterest style. let's start with the exterior. i'm thinking it will either end up being an awesome cabin style place with lots of wood…in the woods…or a creamy, colourful, old european style house somewhere along a cobblestone road. it might also be an old farmhouse somewhere or a converted barn. it will definitely be earthy, bohemian, cute and full of character.
