(P) inspiration!

I've been perusing Pinterest for ideas for our home. These following photos are some of my favorite ideas I've seen on Pinterest. I don't really know what this style of decorating is called, but I think it's leaning more toward an updated traditional, if there's such a thing :)

This dining room is everything I love in a dining room. A neutral, calming color. A lot of windows to let in natural light,  comfortable-not stuffy-furniture and beautiful ambient lighting from the lamps and chandelier. I definitely would like light dimmers in pretty much all the rooms in the first floor.


This next one I archived because I love the floors! I also like the matching banisters, but we're probably not doing them like this.




This next bathroom is very pretty! I really would love a bathroom like this for the guest room. We don't have space for a double sink though, but it's the same idea just with a single sink.


Talk about a dream laundry room! This is absolutely beautiful. Clean, happy and very practical. The only thing I wouldn't do is the carpeting and the clothesline doesn't really look like it would actually work, but it's cute. :)

Ever since I saw this kitchen, I LOVED it. This is absolutely gorgeous! Our kitchen will be heavily inspired by this one.  I don't love the chandeliers and have something else in mind, but cabinet style, color and design is absolutely perfect. 


This last kitchen is something my husband actually built! This kitchen has always been one of my favorites but we are doing a different style in our house. The reason I am including this is because of the ceiling. I would love a coffered ceiling like this in our new kitchen!



There are so many more photos I've found on Pinterest that have inspired us in our ideas for our new home. Next time, I'll add (p) inspiration pics for our kids' rooms, master bedroom and living room! 

Thanks for checking in!

Things Are Moving Along!

After six and a half years of moving into our house, we finally have the plan in motion to start building our dream home! Here are some pictures of what our house currently looks like (other than some trees that were taken down a couple of days after I took these photos.

The house we brought our kids home to. Our daughter was 6 months old when we moved in and our son was born into this home. 









Our view. This is soon going to change dramatically!
More changes coming really soon. We've already cleared the front trees. I'll post photos of that and we received our foundation permit yesterday! So excited!
