A girl can dream, can't she? Well today I took that to a whole new level. On an excursion to Dillards with Kate, I came across some fabulous bedding and bath decor. All of the sudden, my mind started decorating my future house (I'm a closet design nut). The exact phrase that came out of my mouth was "Kate, that bedding set is going in my future beach house. I WILL have a house in the Carolinas or Destin." Then I continued the dream with the husband in Polo, Sperry's, and above the knee chinos...sailing around on our boat sipping mojitos and soaking up the sun off the coast from our beach home. Who knows if that will actually happen, but I'm keeping the dream alive.
Let me get my design fix for a moment and describe this dream. The designer of the inspirational bedding was Ralph Lauren (anyone that knows me could see that coming). The colors were vibrant reds and blues, with varied patterns from seersucker to floral. I dig classic and conservative with a touch of nautical, so that bedding set had my name written all over it. Echo was another designer that caught my eye, having a very simple, vibrant, paisley set that would look very nice in a spare bedroom in the beach house.
This may all seem far-fetched, but what fun is life without a little creativity and wishful thinking? Finding the beauty in everyday objects is what makes life wonderful, even if it's a simple bedding set.
Decorate your dream house in your mind. Plan your dream wedding. Figure out your dream job. Dream about what you would do with a day off. But most importantly, just dream.

I share your dream of a beach home...mine would be small, with a big front porch facing the ocean, lots of windows and skylights to let in the sun, white walls to contrast against the wood floors...minimal furniture...but the furniture I would have would be big, something to sink into, like the ocean outside my door...I want it simple and open...floor length gossamer curtains that move in the breeze...a few of my favorite photos throughout...and splashes of color from pillows and throws (not too many though)...bold colored coffee cups hanging in the kitchen...and sand at my front doorstep. I'll be on the beach, sitting in the sand, no towel or chair needed. You can come over any time you want; I'll pour you a big glass of wine :)
