i go through phases of having to have something. Sometimes its an icecream cone and that's an easy-enough fix. other times, it's a bit more complicated. today, i want a house. i want a place to call our own. a place that is unique and beautiful but perfect only for us- for no one else. i want a place where it's just me+nic+daphne. i want it to be tall, but i don't want it to be big. i don't want it to look like anyone else's. tons of windows. i want to be able to do anything we want with it. i want it to environmentally sound. i want nic to have a band room where he can play as loud and long as he wants. modern, very modern. i want it to be colorful and a little weird. i want it to be in san francisco, in the mission to be exact. i want it, and i want it today.
what i adore {i'm curious to see how this changes as we get closer to actually buying a house... it's good to see how your style evolves}
i love frosty bluish/green glass (or is it plastic...)
walls and walls of beautiful windows. floor to ceiling if possible.
(and if they open- that's even better!)i love simple cabnits with huge, sleek pulls.
i love little nooks.
(this is actually on their roof- isn't that amazing?!)i love wood built-ins (and what's not to love about about this...
eames chairs!!)
i love unique furniture- like this beautiful crib. daphne would love those peep-holes.
form + function- like this staircase that has bookcases built into the walls that are accessible from either side.
awesome sinks. nic and i never agree on sinks which is crushing- i want a really really awesome one.
(oh and i love the cabinet and the toilet too) open staircases (daphne better be good at walking at this point :)
concrete- on the countertops, floors or walls- i LOVE it.

Oh, I love your ideas! I love concrete, too. Have you seen our fireplace? Now, check out THIS staircase. This is what I want some day!

wow Steph! that is incredible! and i didn't know your fireplace was concrete! that teeny tiny picture on your blog is just too tiny :) i guess you need to post some more!
I TOTALLY WANT A HOUSE TOO! We are saving ever penny for a nice down payment...and once Kenny gets an official offer letter I told him I am heading straight to the bank to be approved for a loan. This weekend we went looking...oh I am so ready!
Do you two plan to buy soon?
megan- no, because i have no desire to stay in rexburg (even though we'll be here for another 2 years) so we don't want to buy a house and then be stuck while trying to sell it. Plus we need to have 2 taxed years on our business and we only have one. so we're looking at least 2 years from now :)
but that is so exciting for you!! a baby and now a house- how perfect!
So, does that one come with two gay guys too? What if David Bromstad was one of the guys? I would be cool with that, although he'd probably insist on choosing all the paint colors and I don't know if I could handle all that color splashing around.
May all your dreams come true...
julie- hopefully. nic is just deciding who he'd want the other one to be. probably prince.
haha not prince. but i really dont care who lives with us as long as we get to live there.
-Nic
I want a house too.
