Day 5 - Whole30

2 more days of house sitting and with a still sore back means more HGTV!  After watching all the House Hunters and Renovation shows, I really want to buy a house and renovate it with a possible income suite in the basement.  Pinterest is an amazing place to find ideas for renovation projects.  I love the idea of having a double sink vanity with a doorless shower and large tub.  I am not a fan of glass sliding shower doors or curtains, as they collect germs and confine a space that is already small.

Doorless shower idea

Doorless Showers: How to Pull Off the Look...When I own my own home, I will build one of these.

I have also always wanted a library or a place in the house where there are bookshelves built into the wall and a seating area in a big picture window.

Nautical home. life by water with books ...wonderful

Lastly comes the kitchen...my favorite and most important part of the house (hence the name of my blog).  I love to bake and cook and since I want to, one day, have my own bakery business, I need to have an updated kitchen with plenty of counter space.  Other musts/wants includes: an island, a lowered section of counter top for better bread/baking prep, farmhouse sink

Kitchen decor, Kitchen designs, Kitchen decorating ideas - Gray kitchen cabinets and high tray ceiling.

A dropped-down station 6 inches lower than the rest of the island is ideal for kneading pastry or rolling out pizza dough. Shown: Quincy2 cabinets in maple from QualityCabinets. | Photo: Olsen Photographic | thisoldhouse.com

Have you or would you ever renovated a house? What is your favorite part of the house?

Tomorrow is my last full day of house sitting and I have mixed feelings about it.  I really enjoyed my time being away from work and my family but I have missed them as well.  It is almost time to get back to the real world and back to work again Thursday night.  Maybe I'll be able to do this again sometime...Anyone else need a house sitter? I have references!!



Enjoy!
