Nursery Reveal!

The nursery is finally done...well, almost.  I just need to finish a few small things but for the most part, it is done and we absolutely LOVE it. 
 
When we found out we were having a boy I originally wanted to do the nursery in light blue, gray and white and do a little bit of a lake theme.  Then one early morning on our hour commute into work we were talking about it and completely changed our plans.  My husband is a big golfer and we always joked that if we ever had a boy we would enroll him in golf lessons as soon as he could walk.  So, why not do a golf themed nursery?!  I didn't want it to be cheesy or too "baby-ish" though.  I wanted it to be a little preppy and something that he could grow into over the years.
 
First, we came up with the color scheme.....navy, lime, white and gray.    I knew for sure we were going to do white furniture and a gray glider & ottoman.  Then we would decorate with fun prints and golf-ish fabrics.  Here is a look:
 

 I have ordered a changing pad cover (navy with white dots) from etsy but it hasn't come in yet.  Once we have that, the hutch/dresser will look a lot better.










 I feel like the top of the hutch needs a little something up there....it seems so bare right now.  We have a medium sized 2013 Masters flag coming from Georgia so I think I will frame it in a shadow box and put it up there, then maybe a couple newborn pictures?  We'll see!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...on Thursday :)



I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday so here it is now!

I am loving that hubby and I are going to see Hunger Games tomorrow night!! I bought our tickets 3 weeks ago...I don't think I have ever been so excited about a movie in my entire life!



I am loving our pool!!! It should be ready in about 3 weeks...just in time for Spring & Summer! The 2nd picture is the flagstone, stamped concrete and tile we chose for the pool and the little round stone is the color of the bottom of the pool!





I am loving the new rugs we just got yesterday!! We got them from Home Depot, of all places. If you have a really good Home Depot where you live, they have awesome rugs...or check online! There are hundreds!



I am loving that we are headed to Dallas for the weekend to help host a "Stock The Bar" couple's shower for some of our best friends, Chance & Laura. They are tying the knot in Dallas on April 21st!

{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 :)

Holiday Fireplace Mantels

We don't have a fireplace in our current house but once we move into our new house in February or March we will and I can't wait to decorate it next year! Here are some of my favorite holiday mantel insprirations:

















I think a fireplace & mantel is such a focal point of a living room and there are so many beautiful things you can do to bring attention to it! I love these designs and CAN NOT WAIT to have a fireplace next year :)

Can't believe it is already Wednesday...this week is flying by! First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to Michelle @ The Vintage Apple. She is the host of this weekly link party and she got married this past weekend! :)
This week I am loving all things involving houses and decorating. My husband and I are probably putting our house up for sale soon and moving to a new home in the suburbs and I am finding all kinds of decorating ideas and inspirations for our future home! Happy Pinning!
