Something's Gotta Give

I am in love with the house from that movie! Like crazy in love. It was on TV yesterday during Lizzie's late nap and instead of cleaning the very neglected living room, I ended up lying on the couch and watched the whole film from start to finish. I could feel my decorator heart yearning for a house like that one. I love that it is beachy but not beach themed. The entire movie, I only saw one seashell. Complete and total perfection!

The white walls, enormous windows, cushy furniture and black accents were making me want to gut everything in my home and start over to make something resembling that gorgeous house. It is perfect. And the piece de resistance is the kitchen. Oh that kitchen. 

The subway tile. White, open cabinets. Black counters. Pendant lights. And that massive island! My dream come true. 

This is one of the major downsides to military life. Constant moving = No time to invest in a dream home. It will be nothing but rentals for the time being. Sure we have friends that have bought houses and made them their dream spaces. But for us, we will wait until we can make our dream home our forever home. I can't wait until we are living in it and for more then three years! But unfortunately (or fortunately), that wont be anytime soon; but I can keep on designing until then. I am pretty sure this is exactly what I want; at least for now : )

What does your dream house look like?
