Sometimes I see a listing for a house and I can't help but dream of how I would decorate it if I were given the opportunity. These are houses that I could maybe afford if I really wanted to, so I try to be semi-realistic with my daydreams. I have a Pinterest board full of sections for each different house I fall in love with, and there are many different sections with many different vibes. I thought it could be fun to share a few of my favorites here!
First up is the luxe lakehouse. I don't think I could actually live in this one, but I think it could make a fantastic AirBnB. Who wouldn't want to take in breathtaking sunset views in a house full of chic soft fabrics and moody, cozy decor? And then to just leave when you were done and not have to clean it? That's what dreams are truly made of, haha.
The next house getting a daydream renovation is a little victorian a block away from the library where I work. I've always wanted to take a classic home and make it into something a little more ... rebellious. I am a sucker for bright, eclectic interiors. And this particular house had some white molding details that were just begging for some bright watercolor inspired wallpaper.
The last house I'm dreaming about today was a country house in the middle of nowhere with a huge porch and spacious living room. The dream for this was a straight modern farmhouse renovation. I grew up in an old house surrounded by cornfields and having a homestead full of wooden details, handmade quilts, and room to breathe just feels like home to me.
I love all of these styles, but I don't know which I will actually choose to go with whenever we do move. Probably a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Maybe more farmhouse than luxe punk, but who knows? We will have to see how the house inspires me.
