My middle name is "WANT".....*sigh........

Here's a few more of my "wants".....some off Rate My Space, others, I am unsure of. So, if any of you see YOUR home on here, please don't SUE me....I truly mean it as a compliment because I LOVE these beautiful spaces!


*****************************************

This lovely home is SOOOOO my dream home. Take a look at that delicious, HUGH, inviting front porch. It just screams "COME ON IN....".

And, YELLOW.....a yellow house is always so inviting and warm.
The curb appeal here is to*die*for and it all is just an awesome combination to my eyes......


I am totally in love with the color of her cabinets...and the light flooring....and the glass topped, garden dining room table and the little awesome chairs. There's things above the cabinet....not TOO much...just enough for PERSONALITY. I love this!


This little, talented lady made this delightful sign with HAND PAINTED name of her cottage out of a headboard. One thing that makes it so luscious is that it is....HAND PAINTED.

I wish I could paint....I wish I had a name for MY cottage....I wish, I wish, I wish......*heavy sigh


FRENCH COUNTRY AGAIN....and this pretty BLUE, to boot.

I decorated for so long with blue that I became a little "burnt" out with the color. HOWEVER...
I NEVER had such beautiful BLUE furniture as this!! No, sir........I never did.
I do still like the color and I have it in my dining room and touches through-out the cottage.
AND....let's not forget the BLUE chairs in my living room that I am desperate to get recovered into something toile, red........both!!


Isn't this an awesome piece? I really fell in love with it....it's heavy looking, chunky...really makes a statement (the statement is...."I WANT IT!") And, how neat that touch of ELECTRIC blue looks here.

BLACK AND WHITE TOILE ON THE WALL????
IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS !!!!!


I was awestruck when I saw what this talented lady did with a little desk and 2 shelves and MAGNIFICENT accessories!
Now this idea is something we might all can use....inexpensive and way good-looking.
I need to "thrift" soon and see if I can find a small desk or table for a tiny spot I have....my budget might let me do this one! I LOVE that she used such large items on the shelves and the hugh letter on the wall look right at home!


....I WANT THIS ROOM....well............. so as not to COVET, I want a room exactly like this beauty. Of course, it might look extra special to my eyes because it's MY style....MY colors. UMMMMMMM......it makes me happy just to LOOK at it!
Dream on, bj........

HAVE A HAPPY DAY !

Thanks for sharing your "I wants" with us. Every single picture was a delight, but the yellow house is my favorite. It looks enchanted.

BJ, you know I love those rooms too! I think the green office space belongs to Rhoda at Southern Hospitality http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/
And I think the bottom living room is from "Nester at http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/ both blogs I think you might enjoy:>)

Anita said...

I love those pictures. It is funny because I just posted pictures from rate my space today also. Great minds think alike.
I enjoyed your pictures thank-you for sharing. If you go to my post today the very last one is my kitchen from rate myspace. I would love to have some ideas from you. My taste has changed so much since I did my kitchen, but my husband wants the cabinets to stay wood. ( SO SAD ) but he helps with the morgage so I guess he has a say DARN!!!!
Have a wonderful day,
ginger

Have the Best of Days.........Rosie

Meggie said...

Oh BJ! I just stopped by to say hello and am so envious of all the lovely rooms that you posted. I'm absolutely in LOVE with the first kitchen photos...love the light color of the cabinets and floor. So bright and cheery....expensive, too, I bet! How about we dream together.....

Good Afternoon BJ,
I am just now getting around to visit my friends. I didn't have any coffee this morning as I forgot to buy some yesterday. I had one of those bad headaches and when I took the girls to School this morning, I went back to bed. I so love the yellow house. I would like to have a house like that as well. There is a couple that live here in our town and they have a complete wrap around porch on their house. It is so beautiful and I want one of those someday as well. All of the other rooms you shared are just gorgeous. Like Amelia said, it doesn't cost anything to dream, so keep on dreaming. That's all I can afford to do is dream. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Betty said...

You definitely have me oohing and ahhing! Thanks for sharing everything. I use to hate yellow but that has been changing and I find myself loving some of the yellow rooms and houses, even thinking about painting more with it. Maybe I am emerging from my green phase as my husband calls it.
Take care dear BJ!

Penny from Enjoying The Simple Things said...

BJ - I love everything you love! Are you sure we are not twins? I have been redecorating, painting, painting and more painting. I am working on something similar to the last pic you showed. It will take a while though - lol...
Hugs,

BJ,

I sure enjoyed seeing all of the items that you would like to have. Me too! That chunky table is right up my alley and that toile wallpaper too. I'm wanting to redo my kitchen and am going to look for some wallpaper in black and white. Maybe with red accessories? What do you think?

Blessings,
Mary
