These pics are from an inspiration folder on my desktop. (bad blogger-didn't save links) And I am extra obsessed with rummaging said folders right now because I am waiting for my very first home purchase to close!
The daydreaming is an ongoing collection of fantasies and realities that have been inspiring me endlessly! For those of you who know my appetite for magazines you can only imagine how the stacks have grown.There's not an inch of new-home-space that hasn't been combed over in my mind a thousand times. I cannot wait to live in the all white space, full of sunlight and promise. It's not an all-modernist Dwell home, or a slick redo ranch, it's not the gingerbread house Ashland is famous for. It's the 1995 combo of elements that will house our life just perfectly! My first professional art studio awaits a remodel and the garden has built itself one hundred times in my mind!
For a natural daydreamer like me turning these ideas into reality will be the thrill of a lifetime! I'm counting down the days!
I have binders and binders full of clippings and magazine photos of homes, interiors, decor, etc., and had so many folders of images on my laptop as well when my husband and I stumbled across our home (with the help of our real estate agent who had once been our rental property landlord). I walked in for the home tour and boom, boom, boom, images and ideas just fell into place as I looked through each room, hallway, etc.
Certainly not what our friends might have chosen for us, but it was totally meant to be after years of dreaming, imagining, and arranging in my head!
Congratulations on becoming a new homeowner- so nice when the space is ~yours~, all yours!

Daydreaming is fine, but, not too much of it. :) Also, researching and finding model sections of your house is healthy as long as it would not go beyond your financial capacity. Finding illustrations to base your designs on, would help in creating your own. In that way, you would not be scattering for ideas on how your house would look like. Good luck, Anahata!

Looking at those photos, I can guess that you love patterns, nature and open spaces. It’s a nice combination. I mean, the open space focuses the attention to the patterns that you’ll use. The same goes with nature designs; if the space is open, it’s easier for you to see them!
