So, naturally, I browse Pinterest every day and soak up every beautiful house photo and good house idea that I can! I have an entire board dedicated to our house!
For those of you who follow me on Pinterest, you probably have already seen these pins. Nevertheless, I thought it would be fun to share what I pinned for the house this week and tell you what my thoughts were of each individual pin.
I will try to make this a weekly post. This week I pinned ...
... this adorable little wooden box to corral small countertop items:
I could totally make one! I have made little wooden boxes before - so easy! Hmm ... if only I had several small and attractive cutting boards to display like that. I will have to start collecting!
I also pinned these combination cabinets and bookshelves:
I absolutely love the idea of those built-ins, especially in a dining room where more storage is always needed. I could hide the less attractive items in the cabinets below and decorate the shelves with the pretty things. It's too bad I can't really think of a place in our house to put something like that. Our dining room is pretty open to the other rooms with no blank walls. Maybe something with shorter cabinets for a TV wall? Hmm ... wheels are turning ...
Next up, I pinned:
Aaauuhh! Those letters! I NEED to do something like that for our laundry room! It is so stinking cute!
Here's something a little less attractive but more practical:
Definitely need to install that on our TV wall to hide all the cords! I was already thinking of something like that ... maybe have the framers hide some type of a PVC pipe in the wall so there is one opening behind the TV and one on the ground for the cords to come out?
Check out this cool contraption:
We are going to have a fireplace, so wouldn't that thing look cool in our living room? I know I could build that. I pretty much have already built a very similar cart all by myself, so I would just have to add the plumber's pipe. (For our very first Christmas together as a couple, Carleton bought me power tools. It was right then and there that I knew he was the man for me. Haha, just kidding! But, my first project with those tools was a cart exactly like the one above.)
And, I saved the best for last! Check this beautiful photo out:
Did the clouds open up and angels sing while viewing that photo?? They did for me! The initial reason I pinned it was for the floors. I absolutely love the color of those floors - especially the variances in color between the individual boards. Upon closer inspection of the above photo, I realized that our house's entryway will be a tiny bit similar to it. Our stairs are in the foyer (but on the left side, not the right) and we will have a balcony like that to look up to the top of the second floor. But, I think our balcony will be pushed forward a bit and our foyer is much smaller. But, I want to copy that white board and batten on the stairs! Just gorgeous!
Well, I hope that was as fun for you as it was for me! Can't wait to show you my pins again next week!
