Besides the fact that it will ultimately be a nursery, right now it's a combo of our office and DH's "sports collectibles" room.

I can't wait to be in a bigger home where he can have the finished basement or something devoted to his sports things.

5. Are you more into black/white photos or color? color
6. wallpaper or paint or faux finish? paint

1. Do you see your home (dream home, too) as more traditional, contemporary, transitional or ?
Since I have no idea what anything else means I'm going with traditional, which I'm assuming means "normal". I look at it this way, as long as I have a decent roof over my head, I'm happy.

Color

Soaking tub/jacuzzi.

2. What is your fav room in your house? I like our living room, such as it is. There's a lot I would change, but it is homey and cozy and functional.
3. What room would you change IMMEDIATELY if you could? I would make J's office Scarlett's room.

6. wallpaper or paint or faux finish? Paint. Not a fan of wallpaper.
7. Would you rather a huge soaking tub/jacuzzi or a big walk in shower? I'd rather have the giant shower with a seat and multiple shower heads.
