Lately, Don and I have been half-heartedly looking at real estate. This creates lots of problems for me - money angst, house stalking, etc. But the main challenge is that I start imagining how I would decorate this room or that, and before you know it I spend hours looking at kitchen remodelling Web sites (we rent) or new furniture (we already have too much furniture and there’s nothing wrong with any of it).
One of the biggest reasons I’d like to move and would like to buy a house is that I love to cook and our kitchen is just not designed for a cook. I’d still like to keep the cottage kitchen look, though. White cabinets, exposed plate racks, big sink and cozy decor. However, I’d add slate floors, stone counters, stainless appliances, an island and a gas range.
Something more like these examples:
*sigh* Someday.

I have really been linking zinc counter tops lately! I’ve seen them on a couple of home shows.
I think living in San Francisco kinda helps with the house envy I get… I know I will NEVER be able to afford it so I can’t get myself too worked up about it (well, sometimes I still can, but it doesn’t last long!)
