Today Brian and I went to the parade of homes here in Missoula. I told him it probably wasn't a good idea to take me because I would find lots of great ideas for our new house that would cost a fortune! Actually, we found some ideas that are doable and others that are so far out of our price range, but definitely fun to look at! One house we went to was 6000 sq. ft. and had a $125,000 media and sound system. I think there were probably 10 flat screens in the house...crazy huh? Another one of the houses was 4900 sq. ft. all on one level. You wouldn't have to go to the gym...just walk back and forth through your house for exercise. At this house, I found my dream bathroom pictured below.
The tub sits in the middle of the room with columns around it and you have a fireplace with a flat screen above it to watch while you soak in the bath. And so you don't miss your favorite show while you do laundry there is a flat screen in there too. As well as a chaise lounge so you can rest while you watch your shows and watch your laundry being done??
So obviously these were some of the over the top things, but below I have a few pictures of ideas we liked. We have trying to figure out how we want to do our fireplace so we found a few ideas for that (minus the interesting artwork.) Any suggestions??
And we also found a house with concrete countertops which we have been thinking about. I had a hard time picturing what that would look like because I just kept thinking it would look like a sidewalk on my countertop. I actually really liked them when I saw them in this kitchen...I am not crazy about the color but the overall look is pretty cool.
We have to start making these decisions over the next few weeks so any advice you have would be great!!

I love the concrete countertops. I also love those drawer pulls, we just added something similar to our cabinets. I really like the tile (very warm) and my favorite fireplace is the large stone with the hearth. I love the coziness of a hearth...I can picture the children all lined up for a Christmas photo. Don't give up on me...someday I will blog again.
Oh, loved those boots Abs.
I like the first or second fireplace, but if you did the first one I think it would look better with warm-toned stones. The stones they used are cool and give a cold, un-inviting feel to them.
Wow that is one tricked out bathroom! I don't think I'd ever leave. There was a lock on the door right?
Heard your service was awesome...yay!
I've never had tile floors...I love the way they look though. But I did have a friend say she wouldn't use them again as a primary living space floor because of cleaning issues. She said they're great in a bathroom or an entry. So, more info to file away!
Ohhh.. XOXOXOX that tile. I love the slate tile on that fireplace also. Quit posting pictures of stuff that will cost me more $$$! The lounger in the laundry room? An escape? A bit excessive, perhaps. Unless they have so much time that they sit and watch the wash wash.
Cheri, I just have to say...you're going to KISS the tile? ;)
