Glorious Grasscloth

For a long time now we have been LOVING grasscloth wallpaper...

...a little afraid of wallpaper...but love the texture and are thinking about starting small, maybe a powder room or an office. I was at Pottery Barn the other day and they had backed all their display shelves in it...put that in your back pocket...

We've Got Your Number

We STILL love typography and that includes numbers and they seem to be everywhere...

Kris's House-Wants for 2010

Kris really wants new floors! Here in the hallway you see the 80's/90's oak floors...

We have of couple of ideas for changes...one is a new wood tone with this used brick...

Another option is going DARK...hmmm the problem with this is darker floor

means a darker bannister, darker risers, etc... you get the jist...

And as she sits in a winter storm, she is dreaming of THIS view...

instead of THIS one...

some ideas to put in your back pocket...

Jen's House-Wants for 2010

I got a laptop for Christmas (WOO HOO! Okay not a MacBook, like on my list, but I think that might

have been too much computer for me anyway;)

Thank you to Santa, now I can blog form anywhere in the house! (which is key because what was going on in other parts of the house with 3 kids unattended while I was in the office blogging was not pretty)

But I would love a place for the laptop to call home, so this is where I am blogging from now...

This is what I really want, a built in desk/workstation...

And the perfect place for it to go, right next to my kitchen, and in front of this window...

Next, I would love to put some french doors in between my hallway and great room because it is NOISY when the kids are up and mommy is not:)

I believe this could make for much longer naps for my little man too, which would mean more finds to put in your back pocket:)

These are the perfect color and look...

Kris is getting together her house-wants for the new year...

but we want to know what you want to do in 2010?
