Dreaming

L, the baby and I are sick. So what do I do with my lounging-on-the-sofa-in-my-pajamas time? Watch Doc Martin and sketch plans for a new chicken coop, of course.




The easiest way to get J excited about {and thus totally on board with} any home project is to mention mid-century architecture. This is no different. After all, my dad was able to build an awesome coop after I sent them a few photos of modern ones for sale. Behold:





Who says I can't have a mid century chicken coop? I Googled a few images...




...and came up with this:




{I know, a bit hard to read. Wait til I get the Adobe Illustrator version finished...} Then, while we were focusing on the backyard anyway, J suggested we build a fire pit:




We could even put in a half-moon bench as pictured in this Elle Decor photo...




...and add a few of these chairs to complete the area.





While we're at it, why don't we reduce the size of the coop and put in a sandbox for the kids? Like so:




Why yes, I DO think a mobile would look great hanging from a tree branch above!




And the porch? Well, I think two of these chairs and a small side table would suffice for those early morning breakfasts as we watch the sun rise...





Cost? Oh,..... right. Well, that's why this post is entitled 'Dreaming'. :)

What do you daydream about?

Love. I daydream about one day having exactly your artistic sense. And fashion sense. :)

A mid-century mod coop - you are too cool! Sounds awesome. And my advice is totally do the firepit. We love ours. Because we love SMORES!

I love that you know what you love. Sometimes I can't even decide what I like.
