A peek under my bed.

I'm not actually putting pictures of the dust and hair balls (or should I say golden retriever tumble weeds?) that are currently under my bed.  But I do have a this.

A giant box of wishful thinking.  I am a window shopper.  I rarely buy things {that would require making decisions} but I love to look. I have a cardboard box full of pictures of things I love.  Most of these magazines are old Pottery Barn magazines.  I live in Idaho--which I love--but we don't have Pottery Barn around here so items in the magazines are just pictures--ideas.
An actual store?!--Heaven!
 Jenna and I visited Trolley square while we were in Salt Lake.

 I love Pottery Barn furniture.  I dream of completely furnishing my house... 

One late night (or early morning? remember that little monkey that is currently attached to my hip?),  I discovered a treasure chest of fodder for my imagination. It totally beats the box under my bed.   Now I'm dreaming of becoming a carpenter. Next time you are up in the middle of the night you should check it out.  

Then you will want to go buy a table saw.  And a Kreg Jig. 

Have a look for yourself.

I want to make this.

or maybe this.

or maybe I will start with something a little more simple like this.

I also have a thing for beautiful pottery with beautiful colors.  Good thing it's my dad's current hobby. He doesn't know it yet but building Pottery Barn knock-off furniture is about to become his next hobby!

I really want this--

It's plastic.  

They must have sent a product developer to my house when I wasn't looking because families like mine don't get along so well with glass containers.

But if we could refrain from breaking things I would also love this one--

I have a million mason jars around.  As does any self-respecting Idaho girl.

So this would fit right in to our kitchen.  Right after the dishes are done!
