The place just oozed warmth. It was so inviting. But the best part about it was that the lower half the sloping ceiling was glass. It let in the most beautiful filtered sunlight and you looked up and saw the tops of the trees outside. I have a dream of doing something similar in our sunroom!nutmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338099206534716993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21445368.post-34489822067796749912007-02-13T17:21:00.000-07:002007-02-13T17:21:00.000-07:00Dark wood ceiling fans with rattan inserts in the ...Dark wood ceiling fans with rattan inserts in the blades, rattan and wood furniture (you know, the dark Jacobean wood with rattan inserts), Moroccan lamps, cushions with Arabic style covers and similar rugs on the floor. Low low coffee table for serving thick black coffee and mint tea on. Brick dome bread/pizza oven barbecue thingy. Wooden shutters on the windows.<BR/><BR/>Can you tell I have dreamt of this?Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21445368.post-9045085481229342562007-02-13T14:39:00.000-07:002007-02-13T14:39:00.000-07:00A few bookshelves?A place to mix the margaritas?A few bookshelves?<BR/><BR/>A place to mix the margaritas?Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160632952978584244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21445368.post-48558461521721636872007-02-13T07:31:00.000-07:002007-02-13T07:31:00.000-07:00Oh Lordy, I could write a novel.

It won't be our NEXT big project, but it will be very big indeed, and we've been planning it since we moved into this house. I have a feeling it won't get done until the kids are in college!<BR/><BR/>Ours will be half enclosed and half just covered, fireplace in the enclosed area, outdoor kitchen hooked to the gas line in the covered area, not sure about furniture yet but DH wants wicker (oy). We don't completely agree on the aesthetics yet.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612452005428621885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21445368.post-69206815561899722222007-02-13T05:30:00.000-07:002007-02-13T05:30:00.000-07:00Oh lovely, designing stuff.

I wouldn't do a BBQ because I think it would get too smelly, so I'd have a wheelie type that you could bring in and out. Otherwise you'd have greasy meaty smells through the house. <BR/><BR/>Upholstery? I'd do a thick cotton upholstery in a lovely minty green. Alternatively, a navy and cream stripes, maroon and cream stripes or dark green and cream stripes. Or maybe a lovely moroccan theme. <BR/><BR/>Removable cushions, definitely, especially wtih kids in the house! A ceiling fan would be lovely. For lighting, I'm very fond of inset lights, soft and not too dramatic. <BR/><BR/>How's that?My floathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002186548335132157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21445368.post-52080253118128405322007-02-13T02:45:00.000-07:002007-02-13T02:45:00.000-07:00Um...YES.All.of.it.Um...YES.<BR/><BR/>All.of.it.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241997715764189848noreply@blogger.com
