My Dream House; My Farmhouse


posted by Andrea | 09/30/2010

Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of living in an old farmhouse.

Honestly, I have no idea where my unwavering obsession with farmhouses comes from; or why my {extremely} practical nature allows me to continually fantasize about my dream house… my “someday house”… MY farmhouse.

But I don’t think I’m going to change.

Currently, we live in a ranch {and no offense to ranch homes…but I’m not a big fan}. We love the location of our house, we love renovating {and re-renovating} different rooms in our home, and we love the price of our home!

There really is nothing wrong with our home — except that I don’t like it! Please tell me I’m not the only person who feels this way about their current home??? Am I crazy?

I’m not in a huge hurry — yeah right — but someday I want a farmhouse… THIS farmhouse!

If you’re interested, you can rent this 6-bed, 4.5 bath 100-year-old farmhouse for only $3,500 per WEEK!

My farmhouse has a front porch with white painted floors and a swing like this one — I think it’s big enough!

But for now, I’ll welcome you into our home with this porch:

My farmhouse has huge kitchen like this:

But with a big farm sink like this:

However, I make due just fine in my current kitchen — just a little smaller :)

I even have a farm table that I built with my dad!

My farmhouse has a little library/office nook on the second floor with sloped ceilings like this…

…and a delicious master bathroom with a claw-foot tub like this.

My farmhouse has gorgeous, REAL hardwood floors in all the bedrooms…

For now, I put up with carpet — lots and lots of carpet {but we do have two closets!}.

My farmhouse has a big red barn — and a chicken coup.

But for now, I am satisfied with my really cute {and organized} shed.

I’m so obsessed with farmhouses, I even have a binder {organized by room} with magazine clippings of pictures and ideas I want to incorporate into MY farmhouse — you’ll probably see that sometime soon!

Who knows when I’ll find my farmhouse; but for now, I’m having SO much fun looking!

Someday…….

What’s your dream house?
