It's a good thing....

I don't know if it's because it's was just winter and I was in the house so much more, but my design mind is on OVERDRIVE.

I would love to take our kitchen from this:

To something like this:

Oh, how I love this island!  Makes so much more sense than the square one I have now.


and  the subway tile.... LOVE IT!



Doesn't this just feel so FRESH?




And our Laundry/Mud Room from this....



into:

Ahh, so organized:


Clean and bright



or maybe hidden behind doors



Mmmm, but I do like this one:


that I found in this book:


Oh my, and this one





And of course I wouldn't want to leave out our dining room.


So I'd like to take this room:




And give it a little board and batten detail like this:


as seen in the fall/winter 2009 issue of this:

by BH and G


Maybe, just maybe 2 out of 3 of these redo's will happen.....


soon.

and yes, my fingers are crossed.
