For me, a house/apartment/flat/mansion is never fully finished. Even if you've lived there for years, it's still evolving with the addition of some art here or a new piece of furniture there.
Currently for our apartment in Monaco we are at a standstill because we just spent the last of our budget on random decorations so that when my parents visit next week it doesn't look like we live in a small, scary unfurnished box. Which is more or less what it looked like prior to the purchases.
But I'm dreaming about the day, who knows when it will be, that we move back into our townhouse in Miami Beach. Oh, how much I miss our townhouse despite that fact that we're upside down on the mortgage and that my hubby and I nearly divorced fighting over the mortgage payments when we were struggling with our careers 2 years ago. So for now, our townhouse is occupied by a lovely couple (I'm sure, however I've never met them)....but when we move back I can't wait to get my hands on that place and transform it.
For our living room, I've decided I want a big, cozy, cushy, L-shaped couch to be the anchor of the room. Something like this...although white would be a disaster for our dogs, so maybe a nice grey color:
Next, for the guest bath. I love the idea of 2 shower curtains framing the shower!! I'd like to move the door and make it look more like this:
Next, the master bedroom. I want a big cushy, tall bed and this gorgeous color scheme would be so delightful. It feels so much more grown up than what we had before. I think it's the pattern the foot stool at the end of the bed really makes a statement. Wow it's so perfect! Now if only we had this much space.
And a thought for the master bath, not the color but the sink layout:
Next our guest room, which was previously our office but will hopefully (o dear God, I pray) be the baby room by the time we move back to Miami. I'm hoping for boys...so I think something like this would be just amazing! And funny enough this is the exact layout of the guest room...I suppose it was meant to be. Plus, this way we can still use it as a guest room with a fold out couch. Just have the baby sleep in our bedroom in the pack-n-play while the guest is visiting. Love LOVE LOVE this!
Finally, the upstairs patio. We lived in our townhome for nearly 5 years, and never fully utilized the amazing space on our upstairs patio. Yes, we had a hot tub which took up 30% of the space, but the other 70% was never furnished. I will NOT make that mistake when we move back! Here's my version of what that space will look like(plus, lots of gorgeous pillar candles with melted wax all over the place):
OK, that's all for now. I will stop by day dreaming and get back to work....only one more hour, I think I can make it until tomorrow (the last work day until Munich). Au revoir!
