daydreams

The house hunt is either so very close to being complete, or it's so very close to falling through and resuming in March. Who knows! But that's beside the point. I feel like we're so close, my mind keeps wandering off, decorating and DIYing and being creative in our new house, making it our own. In particular, I keep thinking of how I'll make the basement the most awesome, coolest, cutest, funnest (you get the point) place for my kid(s).

First I'll find some comfy little pouf chairs (like this one from Pier 1, but better) that'll be the base for a really fun, whimsical color palette:

And then I'll get really creative and assemble my own play kitchen using really inexpensive materials, like they do on Ikea Hackers:

And I'll find the cutest little accent rugs and fun bins for the built-in bookshelves, and I'll use a really great paint color that makes the basement feel bright and cozy at the same time, and... and...

And then I start thinking about the little office with the built-in bookshelves and fireplace that'll be my office/craft room and how I'll paint it that beautiful coral melon color I've always loved and get a white desk and put up some beautiful black and white photos of all my favorite things and I'll finally get a paper shredder like I know I should have, and... and...

It's fun to daydream, isn't it?

Oh, right, and I'll also get that sewing machine that'll I'll learn how to use so I can make my kid(s)' Halloween costume and my own drapes and pillows, and... and...
