{Home Inspirations}

My "home style" is all over the place... I like a mix of vintage, traditional and contemporary I guess you could say! I love dark, heavy wood pieces that would get from any chain furniture store; then I love the old rustic and vintage pieces you find at antique shops or specialty stores. I love bright pops of color but then I love neutrals. Recently I have developed a bit of an obsession with old, rustic doors and shutters. Having a new home has been so fun to decorate...especially since Pinterest came along! Here are some of my favorite home inspirations I have found:

Talk about good storage!! There are TONS of drawers on this piece!

We are about to order a chair just like this for a corner in our bedroom! I am going to have it covered in another fabric though.

We are eventually doing something just like this with old shutters one one very large wall in our home. I need to start collecting shutters!

LOVE these old doors!

I want to do a gallery wall somewhere in our house and I love the layout of this one.

I need this old door as a headboard! Beautiful!

Cute idea for an un-used corner.

This is what I am hoping to do once I find an entryway accent table!

I am in the market for a semi-large rustic chalkboard too! One kind of like this, but bigger and one that can hang on the wall! If you happen to know where I can get one, let me know :)

We have moved!

Bright and early Saturday morning the movers showed up to pack up our whole house and move us back to The Woodlands! 139 boxes and 10 hours later, we officially do not live in Houston anymore. Sunday was spent having a cleaning crew do a deep, move-out clean of our empty home and Chris and I touched up walls. We had breakfast at one of our favorite inner loop breakfast spots, Barnaby's then left our first home for the last night and headed to The Woodlands.






Our new house will not be ready until the beginning of February so all of our stuff, except for a few suitcases of clothes, will be in storage until it is time to move in. We are lucky to have both of our families there so we are going to be staying with them for the next few weeks. Here is our new house, as of yesterday! =) We hope they start putting in the hardwood floors and landscaping this week!


A lot of people don't like the building process but we LOVE it! It is so fun going to see it every week and seeing all the progress that has been made since the last time you saw it. Now that we are nearing the end we are a little more like "ok, hurry up and finish so we can move in!" But, if you ever have the opportunity to build a house, I highly recommend it!

This week we are going to try to figure out which gym we want to join in The Woodlands. We are leaning more toward 24 Hour Fitness because there is one so close to our new house and I get a really cheap membership fee through my company. And we are going to look for a new master bedroom set and kitchen table! Whohoo!

Hope yall had a great weekend!!
