I used to dwell on it so much (when we lived in our small townhome and then in my parents' basement) that it honestly made my heart ache. I literally yearned for my dream house. (Living in a parent's basement and trying to save up for a house can do that to you.) ... But I don't think of it as much these days.
...I do have to admit that taking a little stroll through my dream house file (errr binder.. it's kind of thick :) got my mind wandering there again. But this time, it's a bit more fondly and with a little more patience. Not very much aching at all ;) ;)

But back to Paloma! She's the editor-in-chief of the newest online magazine, High Gloss Magazine! It came out yesterday and you will love it. I'm so excited for Paloma & the High Gloss team and know it will be a huge success!! I cannot believe the awesome things that this world of blogging has led to. Check out the first issue here

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

I loved your dream house
Funny how our dreams can tell stories and lead us to reality. I have a book called "interior of my soul" with lots if interior spaces that evoke, inspire and guide me.
Adore that dining room....and what will you serve?
Who will be seated at your table?

I loved this post...what a lovely dream house. It's would be perfect for you and your beautiful family.
Hi Lauren,
very pretty dining room...isn't it nice when your goals feel
a little more attainable and not such an ache...I think we've all been there...you inspire a lot of people with your sensibility and candor...so as you move forward, you bring your readers forward too...
wishing the best for you..

I went there and saw it.... I don't need anything else, only that outdoor shower.
Love it!

Love your dream house post....but I love that you said you don't think about it that much right now. I think that's what happens sometimes. We get busy doing something we love and the things that we yearned for don't seem as important in that moment.
You're on a really great path, Lauren.
