In My Dreams

While MBM and I were at the shore and the kids were occupied with my in-laws, we went on a little excursion. Sometime in the next few years we would like to tear down our old beach house and build the house we hope to have forever. We both have lots of idea...I have been keeping a binder full of ideas for years.


Things I see in magazines and catalogs get torn out, labeled, slipped into a plastic sleeve, and filed into the binder. I also keep an "beach house" file on my computer for ideas I find online. Once we get underway, I am pretty sure I will be an architect's worst nightmare.

Anyway, off we went armed with my camera. Here are a few that we love!



This place is a monstrosity...ours would be done in miniature. We loved everything about this house except the red roof.

This is a more practical size, probably still too big for our lot. This is MBM's favorite!

I am a door snob...I have seen a lot of gorgeous houses with UGLY front doors!
This in right up my alley!

This is my favorite! The picture is HORRIBLE and does the house no justice!
I love the color, the brick, the porches, the real shutters with hinges and hold backs....love it...love it...love it!!!

Here it is from the back/side, we had to go around the corner to get a better look. Just look at those shutters and porches!!!!!!!
We thought about buying the bikes for sale out front just to get a closer look and perhaps ask to use the restroom to get inside! But, we wimped out!

Someday...hopefully!
