Everything is officially official...signed, sealed, delivered...we are HOMEOWNERS! [Read the story of our first home here.] I have visions of making this house our home. I want it to reflect us, purpose, our beach life (and "beachy" personalities), and simplicity.
Here are a few projects I cannot wait to get underway...all thanks to Pinterest.

KITCHEN
Disclaimer: remember that this is (p)inspiration. Our kitchen will not be this fancy or ginormous. ;)
Things I can't wait to do to our kitchen:
- Paint cabinets WHITE!
- Add a white backsplash
- Ditch linoleum countertops.
- Put in new hardware just like in the picture below!
- Oh, and hardwoods. Add hardwoods in the kitchen (and beyond). I'm swooning over the color of the hardwoods in this pic too!

SHOE STORAGE
My new closet has a wall that's possibly screaming, "insert this shelf from Ikea for your shoes!" I think I just might have to make this happen [eventually].

LAUNDRY ROOM CUTENESSWhy, yes. I am absolutely over the moon excited that I have a laundry room. And, as I fold, I intend to make it cute and happy looking in there. The blog linked to this orignal picture has the BEST on a budget ideas. I mean, I'm happily cheesing over the "Just remember God separated light from dark" printable you can partially see on the far right! Yes, please.

FIVE
WET BAR
This one is super far down on our makeover totem pole, but we do have a wet bar that will be fun to accent with DIY upgrades. Someday down the road we'll figure out how to add a mirror to the back and some glass shelving as seen below!

To see more pins that inspire me for our new home's decor, you can view my Our First Home Pinterest board. It has been a secret board for over a month now, but it's finally time to share it!
Cheers to Pinspiration!

| Frankly, my dear...you should pop over here to visit my sweet sponsor, Jenni! |
Your colors are a toned down version of the blog! Which means you can live with them and you love them. I've been loving see you pin on pinterest ;) and those hardwoods are to DIE for...the color is sooo rich and lovely.
ReplyDeleteLoving your colors! We have a very similar color to the seafoam green in the main areas of our home but its more towards the blue side rather than the green! And don't even get me started on the kitchen! That is exactly what my dream kitchen looks like! So happy for you and your husband!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!

HOORAY!!!! I couldn't be HAPPIER for you guys!!!! SoOo Very EXCITING!!! I heart the seaside naturals, and am swooning over all of your pinspiration, sweets! ;) Have fun turning your new house into your HOME!! Have a fabulous weekend, you homeowner, you! ;) xo
ReplyDeleteLove all your pinspiration!! I'm in the same boat right now with building! Picking out colors, caninets, ahhh it can be crazy! But fun! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteWahhooooo!!!! We have the exact same taste in just about everything....twin house probz will happen in the future i'm sure...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new home come together! YAY! Happy (unpacking) weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteI think you would love Leah Richardson's book, Interior Wisdom. It's about creating a Godly home, and it's one of my favorites. I think I read it at least once a month!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you decorate everything!! It's going to be so pretty - love the color palette you have chosen and is it weird that I dream of a cute laundry room one day?!
ReplyDeleteLove the seafoam green!!
ReplyDeleteEeeek! I can't wait to see your new home when I visit one day ;) Gosh I'm already drooling over your shoe shelf idea and the paint colors. Gorgeous! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to be following your Pinterest board! Picking paint colors is so fun & stressful... Especially if your hubby has a big opinion. After painting rooms in two houses now, I would highly recommend using Benjamin Moore paints. They really are the best quality!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what y'all do with your new home! I'm digging the seaside color theme!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all these! Can't wait to see what you do with the house!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new home- what an exciting chapter for y'all! Can't wait to see it as you go! Love your inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteEeeeek! Congratulations!! I am loving all your plans, it's going to turn out so well! Now I want to paint something sea foam green!
ReplyDeleteCaitlin C
that shoe closet? YES!
ReplyDeleteThose seaside neutrals?! (insert heart-eyed emoji here) Swoon! I am SO super pumped to see your new home! Yay!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, and more yeses! After you're finished adding in that shoe wall, can you come do mine ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

Love all of these ideas!! Decorating a new home is so fun but, it can be a lot to take on too! I love decorating ours but, reality quickly set in that I couldn't do it all at once! HAHA! But, patience & time helps make the best decision that I might not have made in the beginning so, it's all worked out! So excited for you & Mark though!! Can't wait to see more of the house!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the home! I love all your ideas! I can't wait to see how it all comes out!

Love the nuetrals! I can't wait till we move out our place and get a real house with a real laundry room! Ah! I'm a sucker for cute laundry rooms! You should check out my friend's redo on her blog hiswifeourlife.blogspot.com!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely obsessed with all of your ideas!! I can't wait to see it all come together!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on closing!!
ReplyDeleteI love that kitchen...swoon
first of all, I am loving those paint colors. Second of all, I'm so glad I found your blog today! I was hopping around over on Cari's blog and saw your button and decided to browse around - glad I did! I love making new blogging friends! :)
ReplyDeleteGetting a new house to fit your style and personality can be a lot of fun, but also a lot of work! Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT ALL!!! Great ideas! What did we do before Pinterest?!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with the new place! I know it's going to be gorgeous. Congrats again, sweet girl!:)
ReplyDeleteSeaside neutrals, that will be perfection! Love the hardwood in that kitchen pic. And i love white cabinets! I think you wouldn't want your closet screaming, might keep you up at night - so I'd definitely get that ikea shelf soon =) Cutest printable ever!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Fabulous pins! Having a house you can do whatever you want to is so much fun! You will make it gorgeous! xo
ReplyDeleteCongrats on officially being a homeowner! Love all of your pinspiration pics :)
ReplyDeleteLOVING all of your Pinspiration! I can't wait to see what you do with your new home :) I can't wait to someday make over our laundry room...funny how we can be excited about a laundry room, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteLoving all your ideas especially the kitchen! I want one just like that picture! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI love all your ideas and inspiration! Thank goodness for Pinterest! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving all of your inspiration! I think adding hardwoods throughout will be so worth it! We're still renting, so we can't change things, but our house has white linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom. It is an absolute nightmare. It takes forever to clean and stays that way for about 0.00000005 seconds.
ReplyDeleteLoving that white kitchen! And the hardwoods. AND THE SHOE CLOSET!!
