{Running through my head}

I always have ideas running through my head of how my dream home will look one day. Whenever i see something i really like i keep that image in my mind. I also keep in my mind things i want to make sure i never have in my home one day....i have learned a few of those things by living in our home in cleveland and here in texas. I have patterns, textures, lighting, colors, etc. going through my mind OFTEN. It's funny b/c i feel like i know what i want and what my style is, but i feel like i am not good at expressing it. When i look through blogs about home decor, i can easily point to exactly what i want and love. I know the feeling i want in my home. I know my style. One day, when we build our dream home it will be very exciting. I realize it might be years and years away, but it will happen one day. Ohhhh and the landscaping of the yard...eeeeeee! I can't wait. That's a huge thing too! Anyway, so here is the thing. Shane and I talk about our dream home on occasion and he and i are a bit different on opinions. What are some things you could sacrifice in a home in order to get something else you really want? What is something you must have? Something you must not have!? For me.... I can sacrifice SIZE as long as i can make the inside look and feel exactly the way i imagine. For me, the inside is what matters most and i can sacrifice size and exterior look in order to get the dream look on the inside. To me, that is all that matters b/c that is where we spend our time. NOW, when i say exterior, i am just referring to the house. The landscape is a big deal to me too. Here is what i think....if a home is very well landscaped it can look good no matter the look of the exterior of the home. So, if the exterior of the home isn't very dreamy, the landscaping can make it so. :) That's just me. So, in conclusion....the landscaping of the home and the interior is what matters MOST to me. Do you care most about the size? the interior? the exterior? the landscape? the location? Speaking of location! oh my gosh...how could i forget. I want to live out sort of in the country. I don't want to feel isolated...i do want neighbors, but i also want plenty of privacy provided by LOTS of trees around my house! So, tell me your thoughts!
