If I Had a Million Dollars for a House

So it seems as though I've become very interested in interior design as of late. Scratch that, I've always been really interested in it and I thought that I'd actually major in it and study it in school. But unfortunately my school doesn't offer anything of fashion or interior design. I've consistantly had the notion that "when I grow up" I'd have this great apartment or house and fill it with really cute stuff that I personally picked out at a cute, trendy store and or scavenged for at a garage sale or antique shop. I'd make my own decorative pillows and putting up my own artwork around the walls, painting them (the walls) whatever color I like, and having a rec room where my friends are all allowed to write or paint on one of the walls. Carpets would cover the floors except in the kitchen, baths, and one of the common rooms. There would be a drawing/receiving room for guests where we can drink tea and write letters and there would be large French windows everywhere. And outside those windows a balcony woul hang, with full room to promenade on. I would love for this house to be stone, but in the U.S. stone is either very expensive or has to be imported from Europe so I don't think that will be a very viable option. Also there will be a dog or two of some sort trotting around the estate.

I've been obsessively looking online for ideas for my future house and here are some stuff I completely adore:
