dream house (with a dose of reality)

You've seen those blog posts, where the writer posts photos of their Dream House room-by-room.

We'll here's my version.  It's not quite a Dream House post, but rather how I most desire my current (under construction) house to look.  I've limited myself to one photo per room, just for the challenge!

Through the front door, you'll find this entry.  Panelling, stair treads, wall color...perfection.
 The powder room on the first floor.  I'm planning to stencil a more geometric pattern.
 John's study.  The least "concrete" room in my mind.  I just can't wrap my mind around it.  Although, I HAVE purchased a light fixture!
 Kitchen.  Our cabinets will be creamy white, dark brown island, and a HUGE lantern.
 Dining.
 Living.  Hope to have my red chairs recovered to look like these.
 Laundry.  We'll have to add some cabinets.
Moving upstairs, we have Grayson's Flag themed room.  He'll have 2 twin beds, which is more fun to plan for than you can imagine.
 Caroline's room.  Will be based from Joel Dewberry's Dogwood Bloom fabric in pink.
 Guest Room.  Where can I get my hands on a blanket like that??!
 Master bedroom.  Killer Colleen McGill curtains.
 Master Bath.  Dark Cabinets, but our floors will be white.
The kids bathroom is the only room I have NOTHING for.  But seeing as they just use ours, maybe I can keep putting that off for a bit longer.

And, obviously, I desire NO color in this house.  Wonder how that will turn out?

After we move in, and slowly make some changes I'll photograph the actual spaces, and see how well I did.  Or didn't!

my little boy's not a baby, anymore!

My little boy is 3 and 1/2 (or closer to 3 and 3/4!).
We've decided, that in our next home, he deserves a real, big boy room.
So we'll ditch the crib and changing table/dresser, and start from scratch.

Except

I have NO IDEA what I want it to look like.  And if you ask HIM, he'll probably say "spiderman" or "batman" or "ironman" or something else he knows equally little about. 

So here are the images I've found looking around the internet.   Looks like I'm leaning towards navy, red, light blue and black.


Or maybe light brown or off white walls with the navy, red, blue accents?


But no boat bed...I draw the line at that!
