Planning 5 years ahead!

I'm catching up on my library magazines over the long weekend and have madly been taking photos as I go. Am I alone in this?! I'm surely crazy.

I have lots of ideas swirling around my brain for when we do a downstairs renovation. Am in the collecting phase. I also don't want to wish the next 5 or so years away because really, we are lucky to have a beautiful home already.

I love this office/study space. So functional.

I am obsessed on either black wooden (faux or otherwise) floors, or herringbone floors. 

We will also be installing an internal flight of stairs so I have been daydreaming about those. American styles seem to draw me in, I love the sweeping bottom on these.

I also love this landing with a spot to decorate.

I started to draw rough plans to start to map out what would be ideal (Adam is a big picture man and likes to leave the details until required where I like to obsess (sometimes confused with worry) about the details a long way ahead of time. The rough plans were exactly that, drawn in texta on coloured paper! I thought surely there would be an easy app to use - sure enough, I used the free MagicPlan and came up with a pretty good plan of our home as we are now. I'm working on downstairs at the moment. It is so easy to use!

I just love doing this sort of stuff! Does anyone else enjoy it?!
