When You’re Asleep There’s No Lonely Times… Just Dreams.

We’ve already decided we aren’t doing any work tonight, we’re exhausted. So to fill my self assigned daily quota, I’ll make a post of furniture, fixtures, and ideas that we like that we hope to one day own, install, and use. Some of these things are probably going to be outrageous and unnecessary, and we probably won’t ever get some of them. Nonetheless…
Might as well start this with the most unrealistic…
Living Area
Eames Lounge Chair. Well, not really, but a pretty nice replica of one. Even the replica is a little pricey and more than I’d consider spending on a chair. Maybe someday if we win some extra money randomly. Maybe I’ll find one at a tricky tray.
Built In Bookshelves. Having bookshelves built into your walls is awesome. This particular example was made by Strong Hill Cabinetry in New York.
Kitchen
IKEA DOMSJÖ Sink. We like this sink a lot. It’s bigger than the picture lets on and is ceramic. It’s pretty heavy duty (especially for an IKEA product), and looks awesome installed. Here’s an image of a freshly done DOMSJÖ from another blog, called Stately English Manor, to give you an idea of what it looks like IN a kitchen:
Dishwasher. Even our last rental had one and that had probably the worst kitchen of all time. I suppose this is means we’ve been spoiled.
A Shaker Style Kitchen. I’ve been pretty obsessed with shaker furniture lately. It’s rustic and modern at the same time. The kitchen in the photo was made by Border County Kitchens. It appears the English love shaker furniture also.
Somewhere
Dane Pendant Lamp. These wooden lights are similar to the ones they have at Fosters, but a lot cheaper. We’ll have to get some electrical wiring run in the house, but we planned on doing that anyway.
Back Yard
Fire Pit. Gretchen is 100% psyched to entertain at our house this spring/summer. A fire pit would be the centerpiece.

FWIW, Megan’s new hobby is assembling sort-of-collages of furnishing items she’d like to buy with polyvore.com, which makes it easy to see how everything looks together. You guys might enjoy that. Just go there, click “create a set”, then search for anything (try “ikea”) and drag what you like from the right to the left.
Fun fact of the day: dishwashers are amazingly lightweight.
