Eclectic House: Living Rooms

  (Via Houzz)

Thanks for visiting my home again! As you can see its coming along quite nicely. Having already built the kitchen and the dining room, its time for my personal favorite space; the living room. I know most people say they love the kitchen best, but I'm going to be honest; I'm a terrible cook and don't enjoy that one bit. I love t.v. and sitting with my family chatting or playing games! Sorry Mom:(

 So, when you come to my house be prepared for take-out. On the other hand, in spaces like these; wouldn't you want to hang out for a great movie or some coffee and conversation? That's the way to fully appreciate beautiful rooms like these...if you ask me.

Eclectic House: Dining room

Rose Uniacke

Room number two of my eclectic house, is the dining room! This is a sort of controversial room in many modern homes. So many of us rarely sit down for formal meals anymore which begs the question, are they necessary? In the last year or so, I've personally had a change of heart about this issue. I think because I spent the last 5 years in a house that is very "open concept" and without a formal dining space, I've grown weary of not having that option. Its difficult to have many people over, because there's no where to put them! Maybe its a sign of getting older, but I want to have a place where my family can enjoy a quiet meal together in a beautiful environment. Needless to say, I am now Pro-dining room! My only requirement is that it not be the old-fashioned formal room that the kids could never walk into! Make it a creative and welcoming space (even for pesky little boys)

This is the definition of eclectic, no? I mean the formal chandelier with a rustic table, mid-century chairs and modern art!
Wow!

I know we've been seeing chalkboard walls for a couple of years now, but I'm still LOVING them:)

If I could show photos of what goes on in my dreams, one of them would look just like this!

My favorite detail in this room is the charming art on the back wall. I'm not sure if its a photo or painting. Its a very simple piece but a tasteful way of displaying a personal photo. Not easy to do.

Eclectic House: Kitchens

I'm building a virtual house, room by room. I think on the inside I'm a frustrated home builder. So, my first step to fulfilling my housing development dreams is to collect ideas of what I would like to see. Of course what would these houses be but eclectic! The question remains, would anyone buy into my vision?

Okay, this photo isn't exactly of a kitchen...but its a kitchen skylight! I mean how fantastic is this idea?!

This kitchen may be my favorite. Its spare without losing its earthy feel. I have collected more eclectic kitchens
