susan.a.lentz said...: I fantasize about one day being able to reupholster my own chairs and refinish my own furniture, but until I have the time and space to learn, I will keep envying all the design bloggers out there and read about redoing religiously (nice alliteration, huh?) :); November 18, 2010 at 11:09 AM
Amanda said...: My dream would be to have a much more open floor plan with room to entertain and lots of well-designed storage so we could avoid the cluttered look we currently have...if you're going to dream, might as well dream big! :); November 18, 2010 at 11:10 AM

Taylor {Sew Much Love} said...: My design fantasy is a solid white bathroom. Not just white though, glossy-shiny-shield-your-eyes white. I would just soak in the tub there and close out everything. There is currently an army of rubber duckies breeding in my bathtub.; November 18, 2010 at 11:12 AM
Kelly Utah said...: I dream of a new, sleek bathroom with lots of storage and counter space. Oh and a walk in shower and good lighting.; November 18, 2010 at 11:12 AM

But for now toys rule the domain and someday I will reclaim my living room! THanks for the chance to win these awesome chairs! I hope I win!; November 18, 2010 at 11:12 AM
Anu said...: wowzas! i crave a fancy finished attic, just for me to craft and do my thing. and a house with a place for everything.; November 18, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Shannon @ What's Up Whimsy said...: Amazing giveaway! My design fantasy is having a separate area of the house for all "kid-related" things. Our toys are all over our living room because we don't have a separate area. That is my dream!; November 18, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Jamie said...: My design fantasy would include floors that are grippy enough so newly-walking socked feet won't slip, soft enough so they don't leave bonks and boo-boos on sweet little heads and chubby baby knees and firm enough that cars and trucks can zoom across them, oh and they have to clean up easily. I'd also like lots of built in storage to hide the ever-growing mountain of toys.; November 18, 2010 at 11:19 AM
Sugar Bear said...: I LOVE the Lou Lou! I didn't realize this fabulous chair came in child's size. My toddler would love this. I fantasize about a home full of warm colors and comfy furniture - crisp and clean and organized without piles of paper and plastic toys!

Steph E said...: I fantastize about walls made of chalkboards, So that it's ok and even FUN to draw on walls all day everyday. Which means less scolding and more giggling!; November 18, 2010 at 11:22 AM
Emily said...: I dream of the longest wall in my living room of my 860 sq foot house to be full of built ins where I can hide our flat screen, my library of books (which sadly lives in storage), my son's books and toys, and anything else I can think of!; November 18, 2010 at 11:23 AM
Amy H. said...: Hum, A pure white house with pops of color, not the kind provided by grubby little fingers. A cozy inviting house were my kids can flourish and grow up proud to bring friends over.

Scoops said...: What a great giveaway!
I secretly dream of painting my 100-year-old woodwork white. Shhh don't tell anybody.; November 18, 2010 at 11:29 AM
Beth said...: I dream of having a clean house (hehehe, it's definitely a dream!) where the gates look like they belong, the "child safe" stuff not only looks fantastic (like it could be in a Home and Garden instead of Family Fun) but also work (that's a dream too! Gosh, I'd settle for my son keeping his clothes on!) I'd love to have a bedroom in brown and blue, with silk sheets in a chocolate brown, nice painted walls (why we've never painted our room, I have no idea) My husband's deck could fold up into the wall instead of taking up space. And I love the idea of built in storage to hide all the toys.; November 18, 2010 at 11:29 AM
Unknown said...: I've always wanted to transform one massive wall into a huge clock, by mounting the guts and hands in the center of 12 small shelves.

Then I could make the "numbers" anything I want: flowers, candles, origami, kids blocks, photographs, small sculptures, ornaments at holiday times, etc.

I envision the diameter of the clock face being at least 6 feet across, and little or no other art in the room. It'd be an amazing statement piece that could transform the room over and over and over again.

It'd be especially awesome if I could find a mechanism that allowed for interchangeable hands, so the entire face of the clock could change with my design whims.I have no clue if such a thing is even possible.

Of course, the whole idea is dependent upon the right space.; November 18, 2010 at 11:30 AM
Jenny Toyohara said...: 1. A playroom for all kiddie messes, like the unfinished room in our house in vermont, which literally transformed every few weeks - from the paint on the wall (my favorite was the pink phase) to the puffy paint on the floors.
2. an open kitchen, because food is where the party's at
3. furniture by ANYTHING other than ikea (someday i hope to afford better)
4. a sewing machine and the time to use it (oh and the skills to use it right)
5. family portraits, pictures, and kiddie art tastefully creating a hallway mosaic
6. and while i'm at it, i'll throw in a japanese water garden out back

aaahh... fun to dream!!!; November 18, 2010 at 11:38 AM

Unknown said...: I dream about having a family room and a separate living room that is modern with some traditional elements. The family room will have storage space for toys. The living room is where I will relax with a good book and a glass of red wine to decompress from the day.; November 18, 2010 at 11:45 AM

Milica said...: My fantasy would be to have the discipline to stick to a design scheme and the time and money to carry it out - Oh, and most of all - a house of our own to do what we want with! Renting makes me always put off making our place look really nice.; November 18, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Emily said...: Ohmygoodness! I dream about these chairs! My fantasy is having a lush master bedroom like some high end swanky hotel with a king sized mattress that maintains its glorious support without getting body impressions, having a two or three car garage, fully stocked kitchen with a decent stove and oven that doesn't cook unevenly, a large area for entertaining, a great room for playing (or living somewhere where it's nice enough to go outside every day), enough slick storage without looking like a meat locker, oh I could go on and on but I am happy to have a roof over my head and a loving family. :); November 18, 2010 at 12:11 PM
Parker Post said...: My fantasy is to have a craft room all my own again with lots of cheery colors and inspiration and most of all LOTS OF ROOM.; November 18, 2010 at 12:11 PM

It would be filled with vintage furniture: brightly colored Eames rockers, a Noguchi coffee table, and the most coveted of my fantasies, a Saarinen Tulip Table with a white marble top in the dining room (with mismatched Ghost chairs around it of course). Big fluffy rugs would be scattered around the house and everything would just be modern comfy cozy. Sigh... one can only dream...; November 18, 2010 at 12:14 PM

Erin said...: My design fantasy would be my color blind husband letting me actually put my art school color theory to work and let me paint the house without him having to okay the choice. Seriously...he is COLORBLIND and knows it, you would think this gives me the ability to make this decision, but unfortunately that is not the case. Hubby is so colorblind that he was convinced the car he drove for 6 years was red when in fact it was plum purple!!! He had to ask all of his friends to verify that I was NOT playing a joke on him.; November 18, 2010 at 12:18 PM

Corrie said...: I have several fantasy houses that I design in my head as I'm trying to fall asleep. One is a cabin, one's a beach house, and one is quite large and luxurious.

Unknown said...: My dream design is a secret door with secret stairs inside leading to a secret lair (the children would never know!) Inside the secret lair would be a pantry just for grownups with all sorts of "bad for you" food and a library with those bookshelves that go from ceiling to floor and you have to have a ladder that has wheels and slides. It would have tons of books and large brown leather chairs and Turkish rugs. All this, I would share with my husband. Then inside another secret door, would be a bathroom with a large white claw foot tub and beautiful teal and black damask wallpaper (my husband hates wallpaper) and a pedestal sink and lots of cabinets for makeup and hair things and lots of fluffy spa quality white towels that you can never have when you are the only girl in a house full of boys. And candles, oh, the candles! No one, and I mean no one, would ever know of this bathroom.
