Cottage and Vine: I Feel Fine

Friday, December 21, 2012

Once upon a time, when I worked as a fashion merchandiser, my colleagues and I happened to find ourselves in front of Radio City Music Hall in New York after a long day of shopping. The band, No Doubt was playing REM's "It's the End of the World". The MTV music awards were airing that night and No Doubt was performing live from the roof top when we happened to see. As much as I love REM, I might just like the No Doubt version of this song a little better. Thanks to the Mayans, that song was stuck in my head all day yesterday! Fortunately, a friend posted on facebook that her 4th grade daughter heard that the world wasn't going to end after all. Apparently, someone dug a few holes and we are all going to be OK. Whew! That was a close one!

Anyway, how could the world end if I had not put together my dream home? If I did have a dream home, it might look something like this.

exterior

foyer and stairs

dining room

kitchen

living room

bedroom

bathroom

patio

It's always fun to dream isn't it?

Have a great weekend!
