He liked the print and the cottage-y vibe that it gave but he was so very hesitant about the light colors of the fabric. He was afraid that it would get stained too easily, but after much talk with a sales rep about their 7 year stain warranty (both for humans and pets) he was sold. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I could have kissed the sales girl when she showed him the stain resistant feature of the material. She actually dipped a strip of fabric in colored water. One end wasn't treated and the other one was. Men are such visual creatures haha. He said "yup this is the set then." I think I squealed a lil bit. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The pictures on their website don't do the set justice at all. it's really hard to see that the stripes are light and not so busy as the picture depicts them. I love the idea of using burlap pillows and creams/whites/silvery blues in the summer as accents. I would probably use creams and reds in the winter to cozy the room up. Well enough of my yappin' ... here it is. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/ASF/BLJ_1302728_S?$lg$" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/ASF/BLJ_1302728_S?$lg$" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/ASF/K_1302736_S?$lg$" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/ASF/K_1302736_S?$lg$" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">I think the set would look great in a room such as the ones below </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDs2zcOFLcgJHES1OHUZbPUSBn3sewf9iHpzrbc2mYO9p3Nz8RuuIVx3a8BMBo6mgaLSie-wx_wSd_V4zDuNsPcOAcGDd7-01Q1CDEN0ESpS_PrngmYDueADyp-RQWCqR3JIUbgNw1ru4k/s1600-h/image0242.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDs2zcOFLcgJHES1OHUZbPUSBn3sewf9iHpzrbc2mYO9p3Nz8RuuIVx3a8BMBo6mgaLSie-wx_wSd_V4zDuNsPcOAcGDd7-01Q1CDEN0ESpS_PrngmYDueADyp-RQWCqR3JIUbgNw1ru4k/s400/image0242.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRtK9nbndpsx5xCXVwOxR6BLfpBRAR9QlUCYyXG7IcDnUWbfQ0jBEi1gESbReQl88-yIRV2wRnnksFEE1yJWVpnadbDOA8Juz_Qbg_eibU2hJP2H8ZljJbaRBaBz-bmpq3AUSmmURn2jDD/s1600-h/love+couch+colors+with+pillows,+rug,+and+trunk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRtK9nbndpsx5xCXVwOxR6BLfpBRAR9QlUCYyXG7IcDnUWbfQ0jBEi1gESbReQl88-yIRV2wRnnksFEE1yJWVpnadbDOA8Juz_Qbg_eibU2hJP2H8ZljJbaRBaBz-bmpq3AUSmmURn2jDD/s400/love+couch+colors+with+pillows,+rug,+and+trunk.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ahh what a fantastic day in my design book :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

That fact doesn't stop me from looking at baby rooms though. They put a fuzzy warm smile on my face :). Right now, we have a very tiny second bedroom in the house that would be perfect for a nursery. I hope to have an upstairs addition complete before babies are made, but my heart rest easy knowing that the baby would at least have a room! <br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The master bedroom and the lil' tiny room are the only rooms upstairs (it's over top of the living room and bathroom). There is nothing over the dining room and kitchen, so luckily we have the space to expand up there or frankly I'd be moving!! I grew up in a tiny doll house and refuse to feel that claustrophobic again haha. <br />

I think the house is about 50% empty now... you have NO idea how much "crap" these people own. They had to purchase a separate pull barn to fit the rest of their belongings into. Mr. J and I have been taking trips over to help box up things and I admit it's hilarious looking through all the things people can accumulated over 30 years. I am now the proud owner of a "butter thing-a-majig" that I <strike>confiscated </strike> borrowed. I'll post photos soon!! Ya gotta see this fine piece of machinery.<br />

We plan to have an addition put on the house and it will include a master bath. Bathrooms are my favorite inspiration pictures to look at. I just get a sense of peace when I look at these rooms. I can only hope to someday soon recreate these masterpieces :)<br />

I cannot decide if Mr. J and I should purchase white appliances for the white cabinet kitchen or stainless steel appliances. I think I'm going to have nightmares trying to make a decision in this debacle.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Obviously there are pros and cons to both. For instance, white appliances give the more "cottage-y" vibe that I was looking for, BUT I enjoy how stainless steel can break up all the white in the room. Then again, the kitchen is small and shaped like a U and I think that having the refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher all stainless will result in too much silver in one area.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I've been told that it really depends on the color of the counter tops as to which color appliances would look best, and I have to agree. So I will have to put off purchasing a<b> much</b> needed new refrigerator and stove until I can figure our if we'd like to go with butcher block counter tops or granite. I think I'm going to start writing decisions down on small pieces of paper and picking the winner out of a hat!! :) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It pretty much needs a guttin' and startin' over! Sadly I know we won't be able to do much for a few years as the money just isn't there.. but that won't stop this girl from dreaming up a big ol' dream of a kitchen. If you can't tell, it's going to be a white kitchen haha. <br />

My in-laws are not even close to be finished with their moving escapade so we thought we'd help em along haha. It wasn't a very productive day to say the least but we put a teeny tiny dent into our "Money Pit"- it's my new nickname for the house. I can't help but think this is going to be us in a few months. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://blog.jinni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/money-pit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://blog.jinni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/money-pit.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ooo how I adore this movie, but I'm not jokin' when I say Mr. J will probably come home to find me in stuck in the floor one day :)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyways, we decided to tackle the wallpaper boarder in the living room. What is it with homeowners and wallpaper borders along the ceiling. It should be outlawed in every state. I read online that a "great" way to remove wallpaper is by wetting it with warm soapy water. Well it worked... a little and I could tell Mr. J was losing his patience fast, so I suggested a "quick trip" to Target to pick up a steamer. 2 in half hrs later we came back with a steamer... from Walmart instead. I let Mr. J use it while I reverted back to my old method. His ego was growing by the minute.. he kept saying "my pieces are bigger than yours". I must say that I wanted to accidentally bump into his foot stool a few times today.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://slimages.macys.com/is/image/MCY/products/0/optimized/709490_fpx.tif?bgc=255,255,255&wid=327&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://slimages.macys.com/is/image/MCY/products/0/optimized/709490_fpx.tif?bgc=255,255,255&wid=327&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" width="163" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is the little steamer we picked up by Conair. It was only 22 bucks but it did a really great job! And now I never have an excuse for wrinkly clothes bahaha.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I also tried to "fix" the cast iron tub. I must say that IL aren't always up to cleaning things very well and I thought I could bring the tub back to it's original glory.. but no such luck ::sniffle:: I tried Bar Keepers Friend, Kaboom and CLR. But nothing helped with the rust and stains. So here starts the trip down money pit lane. I'm now going to have to call a professional to resurface the damaged beauty or buy a new regular shower/tub combo. I haven't decided what to do.. but I'd love for that lil tub to look like this someday...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well that concludes are first field trip to the new house. Now if only we could get the IL's things moved out, I'd be able to post pics of what we're doing. I feel wrong taking photos with all that "stuff" in the way.<br />

I just snapped this picture from our 3rd floor balcony. That pile of snow in the top of the picture is the roof. There obviously is a heck of a lot of snow on the roof right now. I'd hate to be outside when it decides to fall. Right now Mr. J and I are teasing that we feel like we live in an Igloo. It does feel a bit constricting haha.<br />

I think they are the center of the home and where a lot of a great memories are made. Our dining room is not very big and I was planning on bumping out a kitchen wall which will probably make the dining room even smaller, but I don't think a "big" dining room is necessarily a "better" one. Here are some inspiration pics for the room and furniture.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS01e3mOykM1n42cLua3r8LllGcF6Sc1mMlDog5Ot2L9ZK_Mq7Yf6OmZD-Zl3EU-wGsS_cWY1Kj31QevfstVr9bouWBVhSdXzWKQsmFBiEj9cme_NcDaMXwLgyf0p_EBAMUD-Ye5ji64S9/s1600-h/Dinning+room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS01e3mOykM1n42cLua3r8LllGcF6Sc1mMlDog5Ot2L9ZK_Mq7Yf6OmZD-Zl3EU-wGsS_cWY1Kj31QevfstVr9bouWBVhSdXzWKQsmFBiEj9cme_NcDaMXwLgyf0p_EBAMUD-Ye5ji64S9/s400/Dinning+room.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This was one of the very first dining room pics I'd see online and fell head over heals in love. I love the clean, crisp feeling it gives me but for some reason I can't see Thanksgiving or Christmas meal in here. It's just not 'country-rustic' enough for me, but I still wanted to share it cause it's purtty!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWgw-ugy0x9zfKPZkYMlltyMfQ5wzm4vt6DzirtOeHNQWB9_pjyVZ8MX3XBqt2gxTSv495kC89PrNc_7pNlzaK0MNTmcAKNxCmLqrKFvE2U3IrLacWSa_gbiaevdUKoUx7WwtJTfd3VOvH/s1600-h/blue+and+white+dinning+room+again.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWgw-ugy0x9zfKPZkYMlltyMfQ5wzm4vt6DzirtOeHNQWB9_pjyVZ8MX3XBqt2gxTSv495kC89PrNc_7pNlzaK0MNTmcAKNxCmLqrKFvE2U3IrLacWSa_gbiaevdUKoUx7WwtJTfd3VOvH/s400/blue+and+white+dinning+room+again.bmp" /></a><br />

I am completely torn as to what style would be suit this house. I love the history behind the house. It was built circa 1900's and still has some great charm about her. She was built near a river and then later moved a few streets over. I wanted to do the house justice and give her a light beachy cottagy disguise because of her original location, but I am a country girl at heart. I love rustic, antique and distressed 'things.' I guess only time will tell and I have to remind myself that I can always change the look if I'm unhappy with either choice. Ahhh, the dilemmas of owning a home. I LOVE it :) <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Our living room is VERY much structured like this room. We have the two windows at the front of the house with a wall in the middle. I'd love to add a fireplace like they've done here. We also have a side window to the left like this photo. I'm not a huge fan of the wall color nor the furniture. I'd like to do tans and sage green. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Oooo how I ADORE this home. I think I'm mostly drawn to the lighting in the room. I love those light fixtures and I am in love with the front door. I am in awe at how light and bright it all is. <br />

It's the perfect way to save on the cost/up keep of putting a fireplace in. I also think its great for watching the ol' tube. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHxn4hsLrQVuLrrtyEeCe8Xj9L_dpMLCKPWUfGYfWIDLHnDzHKxaMY0kdlRHjbawVYbLbayKu_TeZoUuCdrPqre9-5AbnwRd5rtkBVUPkKbt0Dov1aXC8Ta_hU8iEF26J82dPI8DsDNYgb/s1600-h/faux+fireplace+and+windows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHxn4hsLrQVuLrrtyEeCe8Xj9L_dpMLCKPWUfGYfWIDLHnDzHKxaMY0kdlRHjbawVYbLbayKu_TeZoUuCdrPqre9-5AbnwRd5rtkBVUPkKbt0Dov1aXC8Ta_hU8iEF26J82dPI8DsDNYgb/s400/faux+fireplace+and+windows.jpg" /></a><br />

Our entry way will be one of the very first things that we remondel once we've moved in. It will pretty much need to be gutted and redone completely.. which is great for me because I can start with a clean slate. These pictures will also include front door pictures as we will also be purchasing a new front door and repainting the entire house and trim. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Double doors in entry way. Living room to the left, dinning room to the right. I also like the lantern style lightning used in the entry way. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a small closet to the left as you enter the home. I would love to convert the closet into a seating/storage area similar to the photos above. I would like to add a monogramed mirror above the bench like the photo below. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another bench idea with baskets for storage. Love the look of the calming blue walls in the entry way. We'd also like to add slate style flooring to the entry way that will be the same in the kitchen. I'm still on a hunt to find that just perfect slate flooring. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I will be moving on to the living room inspiration pics tomorrow. I have many more LR pics than entry way pics and I seem to be all over the place in my design choice. I cannot decide if I'd like to go with a light airy beachy style or a more light rustic country style. I guess I'll have to make that decision sooner than I ever imagined. Hopefully I'll be able to get more of a feel after I've complied all my files into one area. <br />

I am an interior designer at heart! I dream of homes and remodeling practically all the time. I'm that friend/relative that comes over to your house and starts envisioning how to remodel your home while visiting with you haha. <br />
<br />
I can't help it either; it's almost like a sickness. I really wish I would have spent the last 4 years getting a degree in design instead of teaching, but I regress as my discovery is far too late ::sniffle:: But I remember reading somewhere that once you make a hobby your job, people often lose their love for the hobby. So maybe it was a blessing in disguise. <br />
<br />
A snippet of recent events: <br />
<br />
A sad fact is I've just graduated with no hope for a job in the state I'm in. Most positions have between 200-300 applicants and I have become utterly discouraged. I hope to be employed with the coming New Year in a different field. <br />
<br />
An incredibly happy fact is Hubby and I have just been "given" a house to call our own. It is being gifted to us by my in-laws who have since moved into another home. We are soo incredibly thankful for this blessing as we have thousands of dollars in student loans to pay back over the next bazillion years and never thought this day would come. I thought we were going to be termed renters for the rest of our lives. <br />
We will have to wait to move into the home until FIL has purchased a new garage and storage shed to move his many many things into... but in the mean time I'm dreaming up a big ol' dream home that entails moving stairs, ripping apart walls and adding an addition to the home. Can you say I'm a bit overzealous? Absolutely!! <br />
<br />
Come along for a ride with me and see what kinda dream home I can conjure up. <br />
See you soon,<br />
