Dreaming....

Well, at the moment in our house there is a 4' x 4' hole in the bathroom floor, a 3' x 6' hole in the kitchen wall, a section of the wall in the girls' room missing, plywood flooring.... well, you get the idea. However, I can visualize what I want it all to look like when it's done. Dan and I have been doing some dreaming, and looking for inspirational photos, and here's what we have found so far.

KITCHEN

Beautiful dark counter tops in my kitchen!

Or...

Maybe we go white on white?

Both options look good with the red kitchen.

BATHROOM

Now, granted, my bathroom does NOT have a beautiful claw foot tub, or a window, but I'm going for this feeling. Vintage farmhouse.

GIRLS' BEDROOM

A picket fence wall. And before I even saw this photo, I had purchased yellow and green paint!

Twin Murphy beds with a cabinet (similar to this one) between them. Ours, however, will be white enamel to go with the fencing.

HALLWAY

Crisp, clean, white enamel beadboard in the hall. The wall above will be a darkish yellow as it is in the living room currently. I also want to paint all of our picture frames white and then do a bit of antiquing on them. Nice!

Dreaming is fun, and it gives us something to hold on to during this "not so fun" stage of our unplanned remodel. We'll have to see how far we get with the funds we have available, and how close we come to our imaginings.

Here is my own take on Genesis 1:2 as it relates to our project:

The house was without flooring and void of any furnishings, and chaos was over the everything. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the house.

- Lord, I pray that when this project is done, you will say "It is good!"
