Style Board Series- Master Bedroom

March 17, 2012

Heya!! Happy Friday to everyone and welcome to another post in the Home Inspiration Style Board Series! Last week we talked about the design for my future office (which I'm still loving, but have thought of more ideas) and today the focus is all about the master bedroom. These days it's all about a soothing environment, and since words are the best way to describe how you want a room to look, I decided to put together a little list that fits the image in my head. Here's what I'm thinking: Soft Soothing Comforting Relaxing Luxurious Welcoming Bright Layered Cheerful While picking out items to match up to my descriptions, I kept seeing images of luxury hotel bedrooms pop into my ...

Office Inspiration & A New Series

March 9, 2012

It's amazing the things we take advantage of. Like a home office, for instance. Before we sold our house and moved, I spent so much time in our office. Between the bills, filing and working from home time to time, my office got a lot of use. Looking back on it today, I realize that it's the simple things in life life that make me happy. Who would have thought that filing bills would have been fun, or heaven forbid, brought me joy. But now, oh ya. I crave office organization. Something fierce, really. Living out of a suitcase isn't for the faint of heart. And cramming an entire office into expandable pocket folders is about to make my organizing lovin' soul go mad. Seriously. Because I also ...

Dining Room Inspiration

March 7, 2012

I've never had a formal dining room before. Sure, I've had the type of eating area that's connected to the kitchen, but never a formal dining room. It's always been something that I've wanted. Just the idea of having a formal dining room excites me. My husband thinks I'm weird, but I think it's cool to have a specific room to gather and enjoy memorable times with food and family. When we were picking out our floor plan I was adamant on having a formal dining room. He wanted to turn the space into another bedroom or an office. I wasn't sold on the idea. I mean, the space practically begged to be a dining room. Why my hubby couldn't see that I'll never know. Lately I've been in the "Dining ...

House Update: New Front Door

March 1, 2012

I'm back with a great update! Our front door has been installed. Sorry for the delay, the builders were busy finishing up a few other projects and helping the Geo-Thermal fella's start their install! Yes! Back to the front door, I just gotta show it some love. It's real pretty. Super pretty. I'm loving it! See it! Want a closer view? Ok! Happy to oblige! Here's an even closer view. And you didn't even have to ask! I love all of the details in the glass. It looks frosty! And the design, well, it makes me swoon! It's such a welcoming greeting! I still have to pick out the door knob. Hopefully we'll make the purchase this weekend. In other news, we've picked where the exterior lights will ...

Kitchen Love

February 16, 2012

It's been an important week. One devoted strictly to my favorite room in the house, the kitchen! To say that this room has been easy, is a huge understatement. In my mind, this is the most important room in the house. It's the heartbeat of the home. The gathering place. Simply put- it's a big deal. And  big deals require more attention to details. We all know small details make the biggest impact in a room. So, we try and think of everything. Since I have devoted so much time to the kitchen this week, I figured you'd like to see what I've been working on! Earlier this week I quickly fell in love with this (can anyone guess why?): (via) Let's take a closer look at the item that caught my ...

The Making of Something Beautiful!

February 2, 2012

It's amazing to see something change so quickly. For some, change can be hard, but when it's as exciting as this, it's hard to not be ecstatic as the building progresses. In fact, I'd like it to change quicker. :) In just a few short weeks (ha, it's definitely felt longer) we have went from this: To this: I. Know. Right? Pretty sweet, eh? We've been knee deep in making all sort of decisions. Like stucco, rock, roof and soffit color. Hopefully, when everything is finished the front will look like this: (Colors Only) (Via Realtor.com) We're lovin' the black rock with the cream stucco. So pretty! But for now, we're still here and waiting on the roof: Because we all like them, here's a ...
