The Dream

A bit off topic, but I have always dreamed of living in a small cottage or bungalow and I found the perfect plan for a small cottage that I wanted to share. The company is called Tumbleweed Tiny House Company and they sell plans for tiny and small homes. Heres' the one that I like:

It's so cute; there are two versions but I prefer the smaller at only 461 sq. feet!

I love all the windows in the bedroom..and the front porch is so cute.

Heres' the 3D floor plan; tiny bathroom, but I'm used to that from living in apartments most of my adult life. If you'd like to see more small house plans you can go to the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company's website and check them out. Which one is your favorite?

I imagine building this little house on some land near the ocean (no, not right on the beach; I lived on the beach before and the salt ruins everything you own!)...nothing like the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep.

Okay, this is only a dream but we need dreams to keep us sane, don't we?

Till next time,

Heather

Some design inspiration

I've taken my time to post again...busy with school, so I haven't really done anything in my apartment. I thought I would post some pictures of rooms that have inspired me. These are just a few, but they have definitely left their mark with me and I could see myself moving right in any of them! First, I want to show you some pictures of Jennifer's house (from dear lillie).

I love her style; so classic but fresh with femininity that doesn't overwhelm.

This is her nursery/guest room...so warm and inviting and sweet.

This is the master bedroom...love the headboard (and everything else!)

If you haven't been to her her blog, I highly recommend you go here to see her beautiful home.

This amazing living room is from three men & a lady's blog. I love the clean lines; modern but warm. She has an amazing home and wonderful, creative ideas. Be sure to check out her home here.

Last, but surely not least, is a bedroom from centsational girl...I saw this picture on another blog and it lead me to Kate's blog. For me, this is a perfect room; I was so inspired by this room that I may just have to copy everything in it. The only thing I can't do is paint my walls per my lease, but the walls are the perfect color. Kate is so amazing; her DIY projects will encourage anyone to try at least one. Be sure to check out her creative blog here.

I'm not sure how much decorating I can do right now, but I have been checking the freebies on Craigslist. I need a dresser, another place to sit (only have one chair right now) and table/chairs in my 'dining area'. Of course, I don't know if I will find anything for free to use in my living room, but you never know!

That's all for now...I'm making 3 little girl Easter dresses for my nieces. I am a perfectionist when it comes to sewing; I need the inside to look at good as the outside. (weird, I know) Because of this, it take me awhile to finish a sewing project. When is Easter again?? ;)

Thanks so much for reading my blog...be sure to come back soon.

Till next time,

Heather

Drum role please...

Here's to new beginnings...in my process to restore my creativity and find my design style, I thought I would use this blog to document my journey.
I have been so inspired by those of you who have turned your homes into showcases with little $$ but tons of creativity and ingenuity.
After living in my current apartment for almost 2 years, with its dingy off white walls and made for an office carpeting, the urge to make it more of a home is starting to beckon me closer to fixing it up.

I have always loved items that belonged to another; whether relative or stranger, the thought of someone before me owning the item makes me happy. That's why this trend of using flea market and garage sale items is a good thing. I just hope I have luck in finding stuff.

Any updating or decorating that I do must be done on the cheap...going to school isn't, so I'm on a very small budget.
I'll be sharing my projects here and continue to search for more ideas from all of you talented people. I hope no one will mind that I may steal borrow some of your ideas. Please leave me a comment and a link to your blog; always glad to add your button to my list. :)

Til next time,

Heather
