so you've probably noticed a trend in my recent posts.... i've been dreaming a lot. I have to be careful when I dream, because I always want to be content with where the Lord has me at this exact moment in my life. I want to meet him where He is working and I never want to miss an opportunity to praise Him in the present time because I am dreaming about the future. However, I do not think dreaming or knowing what you want is a bad thing. :)
Anyway... Ryan and I have begun house hunting. It is going very slow-- and that is the way we want it. This is not a decision that I want to make quickly, because it's such a massive decision and involves such a large amount of money. While this decision can be scary and stressful, I do trust that the Lord will direct our steps and lead us to the house that he wants us to purchase, to begin a new phase of our life in, and to raise our children in. :) It's such an exciting decision, too!
So here are a few things I want my house to look like. I know I will not find all of these things in 1 house... and that's why they call it dreaming!
*3 or 4 bedrooms
*2 1/2 or 3 bathrooms
*OPEN floor plan
*big kitchen
*nice sized back yard for ruby puppy
*hardwood/stained concrete floors would be wonderful!
Here are a few pictures of my dream home:
aren't those beautiful? i love windows in kitchens, pendant lighting, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances and hoods.
Dream living room:
these are gorgeous too! I would love a lot of big windows in our living room, and I'd love the living room and kitchen to be one big open space. A big stone fireplace would be a great bonus in the room too!
alright, my blogging time has run short. I'm meeting a girlfriend for an afternoon day date! I'll post some more pictures of my dream home in the near future! Have a lovely day friends!
I love it! My husband and I have just started seriously looking into buying a home and so I understand the dreaming of things you wish to have. I love the kitchens! We have both agreed that the kitchen will probably make or break the house we choose! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, your dream house looks and sounds magnificent. We can always dream. But if you decide to pursue that dream, it becomes a goal. I just wish I'd also be able to get my dream house.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about one thing. It's not bad to know and dream about what you want. In fact, all of us can dream. But if we decide to fulfill our dreams, these become our goal. So if you've really decided to find that dream house of yours, I wish you good luck.
