Design Obsession

[via]

I recently read in a blog somewhere that the author is either utterly obsessed with something or completely disinterested and it struck a chord with me--I'm the same way! I tend to fixate on a particular project or "thing" (ie, full skirts, cat eye liner, statement necklaces, red lipstick, wedge heels, Game of Thrones...) and it takes over my life. I have problems. Currently, the obsession rotation is: future house, spring clothes, travel plans, and... Game of Thrones.

I love to scroll through design blogs and Pinterest some of the rooms that catch my eye. Daydreaming about our future family home is one of Hub's and my fave topics during long drives. Bedrooms: five. Bathrooms: six. Kitchen: huge and well-lit. Skylights. Deck. Firepit. Pool: maybe. Gym: hopefully in the basement with the game room and bar. Lots of outdoor space to entertain. Big yard for our 3 (or 4) Shoebabes to run around. A doberman (that's all Brett). A giant walk-in (that's all me). One day, maybe we'll get around to building this imagined little fortress of ours.

For now, here's some eye candy for your Saturday.

steel French doors

gorgeous copper pendant and ethnic print mash up

fur and snowy backdrop

dark cozy cave

 antlers, brick and raw wood

LOVE this one--faux deer head, subtle chandelier, and all that natural lighting

 the backsplash can double as a chalkboard for lists and love notes

the industrial-style lamps are great, too

 pretty and serene

 clean lines, raw materials

 high steel-framed glass wall--amazing

 bright and simple with big sink and open shelving

 black and white and vintagey

inspired kitchen: white subway tile, big hood, steel glass chandelier

We have our first patient case day on Monday and big exam on Thursday, so I better get back to studying! It's a very "Seattle-y" weekend in NC so perfect curl up and study weather! 

Have a wonderful Saturday and don't forget to daydream a little bit, too ;)
