Home Is Where You Are

This spring semester I have been taking a Graphics class where I have learned how to use InDesign and Photoshop more. Westin calls it my "Arts and Crafts" class, but I need that this semester with all the business classes I am taking. Right now we are creating an eight page brochure on anything we want, and I chose to do my dream home. So, thanks to pinterest and a new obsession (http://www.houzz.com/), I was able to put together a make believe dream home! :) this is just a rough draft

...and this is totally make believe...not even close to reality

Exterior:

I like the brick/stone on the right and the garage!

Front Porch:

Whether it be the lake, or even a little pond, I would love to live by the water someday

Entryway:

Office:

I love the double, but somewhat separate desks for an office space! 

or have a little space for crafts

Piano Room:

this is the BIG dream for me

I would love a piano room like this...nice and open (no doors) and a lovely couch for relaxation!

Living Room:

My favorite color is seafoam green and i feel like it is such a relaxing color but also keeps the room looking fresh!

this would be my chair:

and of course a fireplace

Kitchen:

No matter what I want an island in my kitchen!

those stripes=love

take note of that amazing table cloth

Laundry Room:

(hideaway)

I wish I could have someone always do my laundry...for life. 

The Master Bedroom and Bathroom:

I love the wood, and the bathroom is so different but i love it!

brick

The Kids' Rooms:

 Bonus Room:
I love the built in bunk beds (2 photos down)!

The Back Yard:

I want a fun place to hang out with friends and family and have get togethers! 

there ya' go folks

home sweet home

I decided to make this blog just for personal use. I have wanted to start one just for me for a while now and I finally sat down, designed a background and picture (that you can see at the top!), and I did it! I made me a blog :)

Just a little bit about me to start:

I'm 19, turning 20 in April

I have an awesome twin! she's the best :)

I love D.I.Y.

Im obsessed with the beach and all things nautical.

I like deep sea fishing...especially when the sun is coming up over the water.

My favorite things to do are playing softball,

learning about photography and graphic design,

(i hate to say this but...) i love to go shopping...especially when mama's paying :)

My favorite magazines are filled with home decor and cute spaces and ways to organize!

I love my friends and family!

If I could do anything right now I would be traveling around the world (with my camera) and I would be checking off my bucket list...but thats a blog post for later.
