our next house.

oh, the unlimited possibilities are just what i fancy. 

my mind has been swimming in pretty ideas for our new home.

{mind you, we do not have a new home. we are still homeless. but we will find one soon}

it is just that all this house hunting business has really got me excited.

i have become consumed with dreaming up 

floor plans. color schemes. landscaping. & architectural design.

mapping out room flows. mudrooms. & laundry rooms.

and boy, oh boy. 

i have dreamt up quite a fancy little home for us.

{sorry lovie}

having lived in our little bungalow for three-almost-four years now.

i have learned some important house must-haves.

you know, the essential things.

like an indoor laundry station. and in-kitchen seating.

a cozy family room. & a bathroom with two sinks. 

but i have also learned some not-so essential house must-haves. 

and i will be certain to include them in our next house, wherever that may be.

like a big. rounded. charleston style front door.

that door sure knows how to welcome a visitor in style. 

and moss-trimmed pavers. 

an absolute must have. 

a tailored garage adorned with greenery.

a lovely way to be welcomed home at the end of a work day.

and flower boxes to decorate the windows. 

white flowers are a must.

a reading room streaming with natural light.

with overstuffed chairs to lounge upon.

and a large glossy black bookshelf filled with fitzgerald & hemingway.

sets of old encyclopedias & new cookbooks.

these framed doors that lead to the backyard.

with outdoor seating. or maybe a pool.

or a dutch door would be equally as lovely.

perfect for letting in a nice cool breeze. 

an exposed silver closet boasting with years of love.

if those silvers could talk they would share a wealth of wisdom.

and a vanity in a marble bathroom.

fresh flowers. pretty perfumes. & all sorts of accoutrements. 

nothing too fancy or over-the-top.

you know, just the most necessary. most important. most essential.

most loveliest things that my next house most certainly must have.

... hey, a girl can dream.
