magazine monday: schoolhouse & sparkles

country living, october 2010

this home
in an old schoolhouse!
oh, i loooove it!*
i love the idea of school so much...
actually going to school
not so much :)

that top picture is a bench made from an old pommel horse!
this is the sort of thing that makes me so happy...
who would think of that?
& of course it makes the perfect bench...
love it...

next shot...
i adore the giant blackboards on the walls...


check out the bedside table...

an old school desk!
so genius...
i love the idea of having
a little seat next to the bed...
not sure why you need one
but i love it...

check out this yellow, yellow YELLOW kitchen
i'm not that brave
but i always love to see a giant chalkboard
& this girl's dress is too cute...


this next house is just adorable
it's like 1000 square feet
& seems to me that every foot is too cool...
i love the grey walls
& check this kitchen island


the little bar on the side is part of a mantle
& that refrigerator!
gorgeous...

& my favorite!
this room in the basement...


it's a wine cellar/dining room!
i love how the wine bottles are displayed...
those boxes are awesome...

i love magazines so much!
they are little presents in my mailbox
& at barnes & noble
& costco
& sometimes i find
an old one under the bed
& it's a present all over again...

:)


*i have a secret dream of opening
a business in an old schoolhouse...
i have it all planned out in my head:
vintage class photos lining the walls,
collections of lunchboxes,
a cafe in the cafeteria,
a spa in the nurses office,
bookstore in the library...
anyone out there with the desire to fund my dream?
let me know...
