Home Decor! :-D

So... Not that I'm anywhere near even potentially custom-building my own dream-bungalow, BUT. Based on the themes that keep popping up over here (and, given my current furniture, not surprisingly), I seem to be aiming for:

Polished concrete (radiant heat, clearly) and/or hardwood/bamboo floors

A mix of stone (like: fieldstone) and/or cob/tuscan-plaster walls with built-in wood (typically *dark* wood like walnut or mahogany, but oak works, too) cupboards, cabinets, and shelving

HUGE windows that let in a tonne of natural light

Pocket doors

Arched doorways and/or windows; skylights

Clawfoot tubs; "tufted" upholstery on chairs and couches; leather and velvet (big surprise)

Open concept design/layout

Antique - or at least Antique style (queen anne reproductions? 1920s-aesthetics on touch-tone phones?)

Cast iron; stoneware; graphic prints on good china;

Woodburning stoves/fireplaces

Canopy-frame beds (good thing we've got one already, eh?)

Bone-handled knives

Cathedral ceilings; ceiling beams; groto-like areas with normal-heigh ceilings as part of larger loft spaces with cathedral ceilings

Wrought iron (or at least stuff that *looks* like wrought iron) wall sconces, floor-lamps, patio furniture, sewing tables, and similar

Chandaliers (and also lots of candles)

Big veggie-heavy gardens (duh)


I have big dreams. Still working on the "making them reality" part but... slowly but surely. :-)
