Dream House: Living Area

I love big, open floor plans.  I would love to have the kitchen open to the living area with only a bar separating the two.  I don't even care if I have a dining room or a front room.  Just a big open living area from the entry.

My style combines Rustic Revival, Nantucket Style, and Cottage Chic so materials used would be wood, woven rope, canvas and linen, rustic metals, vintage leather, and of course lots of wicker.

I am a huge fan of white fabrics; especially couches and chairs.

But I also love leather (my new favorite is camel-colored like the above ottoman)

Love the colors in this room; not so much the modern pieces:

Also, I love big clocks...wouldn't mind having a few in my future dream home :)

...And I would like a little office nook in the main living area.  Here are a couple examples:

Dream House: Windows, Ceilings, Flooring

The absolute most important element in my dream house is to have TONS of natural light.  We are not buying a house if it feels like a cave.  My perfect dream house would have windows like any of these:

For the ceilings I SO badly want exposed beams.  There are so many that I love:

For the flooring, I really love wood floors like I love chocolate - DARK.

Of course, I want my bedrooms to have carpet or some big rugs...and probably carpet in the living room area too.  Like these:

Dream House: Entry

I love a big, solid wood door like the last pic and big mirrors in the entry.  I also love benches, tables, and cool coat racks or hangers.  All of these pics would fit the rustic revival look that I love too.
