Dreams

Before
After
To bad I can't afford the new brick as siding I'll probably just go with stucco. I really liked the stamped cement though, that's what I'm really looking at here. (I'm looking at front walk ideas. As most of you know we had water problems and I had to tear up half of my front walk to fix it. So now I get to replace my front walk)


But, How about a new kitchen while I'm at it.(grin)
Before


After
or here's another
Before

After


Sigh...... admittedly these are just dreams and my kitchen won't look exactly like either of these when I finally get it redone But.... I do enjoy dreaming.
I heard a quote this week, that I really like I'm not sure of the exact wording but it went something like this....
"Don't go and build your dream house. You'll have nothing left to dream."
But back to dreaming. I can't decide on my floors. I keep bouncing back and forth between wood and tile. I love the warmth of wood, But I also love the look of tile. It won't be lite colored though. It'll have a lot of red in it. I lean towards warm.

Those almost looked real. Dreams are made for fulfilling. Lets see if we can pour, stamp, and stain the concrete ourselves. We can practice at my house first.

Keep dreamin'! One of these days, it'll happen. I'd love to redo my kitchen too. Probable will do the Pergo type laminate--did you know they make it to look like tile now too?

Love your little cowboys and cowgirls pictures! Sweet family. Happy New Year!
