So.... I currently have a saved draft that is an update on our house. I've been needing to do an update for awhile now since the last one I did was in the summer. But.... with so much going on (or not going on) on our house... I'm just not in the mood to finish that post quite yet. When I get frustrated or depressed because it seems like my house is taking FOREVER, I always go to my pinterest board and look at all the pictures of what my house is going to be like. It gives me a little boost of energy to keep on keepin' on. Because, someday all this hard work will be worth it. So.... I figured I would just do a blog post about it and post all my pinterest pictures here so, me and you can dream about my house together. :)
I really am not talented when it comes to interior design. Honestly I just go off of pictures and copy things that I love. Hopefully my house will be similar to a lot of these following images. *** All pictures came from my Pinterest board- House on a hill.
For the outside of our home we are wanting to do a dark greyish hardie board, white trim, and dark. brown door and beams for accents. Someday, we would love to add rock too.
In our entry way, there is the stair case that leads down stairs and I would LOVE to do something like this. I love the vertical gas pipe look.
Family room: dark hardwood floors, light grey walls, and a fire place that looks exactly like this. 😁 I think its beautiful!! I have yet to find brick tile because I am being very picky.... I really do want it to look just like this. Yes, the cabinets will be on the sides too.
I am most excited about my kitchen! Literally, I might just cry the day my cabinets are installed. Oh, what a happy day that will be. I'm sticking with the traditional white cabinets and white/greyish counter tops. The island will be dk. brown. We have black stainless steel appliances to give it a nice pop. I'm super excited to see how it turns out!
I am even getting a stainless steel farm house sink too! Found an awesome deal on amazon! sooooo excited!
I would LOVE a pantry door very similar to this.
I have a little bump out in the kitchen with a huge window that over looks the whole valley. We plan on doing something like these pictures for our dining area.
Next to our kitchen is an office area. I literally showed our cabinet guy this picture, so hopefully it will look very similar to this. 😍
I also showed both of these pictures (↕) to our cabinet guy. One thing I made sure of, when I was deciding on a floor plan, was to make sure we had a ton of storage space. These lockers in my mudroom will be perrrrfect! Plus, how cute is that bench???
Since barn wood doors are sooo expensive, this is something that we won't be able to get right away. But, it is apart of the house plan going from our master bedroom into our bath. I can't wait until we can one day afford it and install it in!
Since I have been deciding a lot of thing with the house, Alek was very determined to design the Master shower himself. Luckily, I have loved every decision he has made. The greatest thing is that it is a nice walk-in shower, which means no nasty glass door that I have to clean! :)
At first, I was totally against having a kitchen in my basement.. because it seemed sooo impractical and I didn't want to have to clean two kitchens!!! But, then I decided to do something very small like this picture. So, we added a place in the plan to have a few cabinets, sink and a mini fridge for Alek to store all his drinks in. That way we can still use it when we are having a movie night but it's not huge so cleaning it won't be so bad. 😀
I picked out tile very similar to this for the Laundry room. Isn't it dreamy? 😍😍 With dark grey cabinets to match. Maybe, it will help make doing laundry a little more fun. 😉
Well... I think that's about it for now. How's that for a little sneak peak of my future house?😆 Someday it will be done right? But, for now I'll just keep scrolling through these pictures, dreaming.
