What to do.....What to do......

Well after some pressure last night by a certain blond friend to get a new post going already......I decided I would make her happy! ;)

The hubby and I have been doing some research and are thinking about taking advantage of these super low interest rates and moving! At first we thought we'd refinance but that would mean staying here for 4-5 more years and that ain't happenin'! We've really loved this house but among other things, the backyard is the size of my bathtub and our giant babies (and future real babies) need some space to run! We knew we wouldn't be here more than 5 years so why not cut it a few years short?!?! The next house will be something we'll stay in for a loooooooooong time.
So since we may start looking or building, I thought I could use some inspiration......some realistic and some not so much!

Big backyard!!! A MUST!

Stairs! Not a must but I never had stairs growing up and always loved going to friends houses that had them (I don't know why). I'm still like a little kid, I want some!

Granite countertops! I know, everyone has them....they come with every home these days but we don't have any so they're on the wish list. I'd also love to have these white cabinets but thats not gonna happen :)

Mmmmmmmmm, pretty and lots of counter space! I heart islands!


I love a cute little covered porch! I also love this brick color with the white mortar......it makes such a difference.


What?!?! A girl can dream!
Maybe we can have this in oh, 50 years.

I love our hardwood floors but I don't love that they're way soft and the dogs have killed them. I think it'd be smart to just get in the living room next time. These old, hand scraped looking ones are great looking, much harder for the doggies to destroy!

So we'll continue going back and forth.......but I think we are both set on moving. We found a great new neighborhood with some amazing deals where we can build, its insane how much more home you can get right now for the same mortgage payment you've been paying forever.
No rush, taking our time......we'll see!
