If I had a house...









If I had a house today, it would have a pink front door (with welcoming aloe veras), a rainbow staircase alongside a whimsical hallway. There would be a white cabinet kitchen with maybe some yellow shelves; a casual sort of laid back living room, a soothing cozy bedroom and a fun little camper in the back.

I really, really love the kitchen...its divine. I've always wanted a white kitchen with shelves and space and easy-to-clean off walls above the counter/stove (like those silver/aluminum ones). In fact, that might be my dream kitchen.

Really love the stripey stairs but not surprisingly my man says 'no way'... Have a chalet in my garden which is actually our bedroom with ensuite which is in this Miami pink; fab. (Painted before Mr 'no way' arrived hahah)...

Let me see .... the colorful stairs ... yes I would take that and the little caravan for my backyard where I could have a glass of lemonade while reading a juicy summer read.

that coverlet / blanket in the bedroom is great. and just gazing at that kitchen sooths me. lol. the wood accessories and flooring warm up the whole clean & sterile white & stainless scheme; it's perfect. i'm way into the blue accessories- how pretty would espresso look coming out of something that's robin's egg blue? ...and THE CAMPER. jeeze. it is nice to dream.

Kickcan and Conkers - oh i still have it - it's just not as big as this - and we can't paint our doors pink or have a camper in the back.... (strata's they just get in the way).

Perfect!

I'm trying to wait patiently for some little aloe veras to grow that big in planters in my front yard right now. It might be awhile yet but I think it will be worth it.
