Dream Home Plans

Published by Megan on Sat, 08/27/2011 - 10:51 in

I am constantly on the hunt for the 'perfect' house for our family. I search through dozens of real estate listings daily, and scour the online floor-plans available. Recently, I came across this floor-plan and fell in love. It's a little larger than I was anticipating, but it has everything I think we need/want at this point. I'm storing it here for safe keeping so that if we do decide to use this floor-plan to build our dream home, I'll know where it is.

A Day Late, A Dollar Short

Well, here are the photos from the master closet that I promised you...only a day later than I planned to get them up. Truthfully, it didn't take that long to reorganize the closet once I started. It was just getting to the point of starting that took forever. Seriously, I think our clothes sat in the middle of the master bedroom floor for at least a solid month or more before they found their home in the closet again. Sad, but true. Things around here always take longer than I plan for them to take...hence the name of this post.

Master Closet Reorganization

Published by Megan on Sun, 08/21/2011 - 22:08 in

With all of the pinning I've done lately on Pinterest, I've gotten the itch to purchase a new fall wardrobe for 2011. There are some seriously cute outfits (& shoes!) out there and my closet is currently lacking in the inspiration department. Some of the pieces I own have been hanging in my closet since I started highschool...that means 2001. It's definitely time for an upgrade.


Pinterest Inspiration

I posted a week ago about falling in love with the Pinterest website. Over the past week, I have pinned a number of photos to the various boards I made. One of those boards is labeled dream home, and I thought I'd share with you what plans I have for our 'forever house'. I have found such inspiration from the photos I've found. The more images I fall in love with, the more I think we need to build our perfect house. What are the odds that it already exists out there?

Late to the Game...A Love For:

Pinterest. I know, I know, it's been popular for quite a while now. I kept putting it off because I figured it was just ANOTHER site to waste my time on, that wouldn't really live up to the hype. Finally, a friend talked me into joining yesterday. I am in LOVE. What a great idea! It is a wonderful way to keep ideas for various aspects of your life in one neat 'folder' so to speak. I have boards for our dream home, our current home, craft projects, kids ideas, etc. I seriously recommend that everyone who has not yet jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon hitch a ride already.

I've written before about my obsession with searching through homes currently on the real estate market. Today during one of my searches, I came across the home of Taylor Swift. She is selling her home in Nashville, Tennessee for a mere 1.45 million dollars if you're interested. Here are some photos:

Party Planning & Peanut Update

Published by Megan on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 10:22 in

Peanut's first birthday is coming up in just a few short months, so I've really been getting into the party planning process. (Try and say party planning process three times fast...) Currently, we're planning to invite a small group of people for the party and host it at our house. The theme is Baby Beluga/Under the Sea because Peanut loves the Baby Beluga song. We've been singing that song to her since she was conceived and when she was a really little baby it's the only song that would calm her down sometimes.

Fireplace Inspiration

While here at the cottage, we have mainly been relaxing and enjoying the down time. Part of that down time has been spent watching some TV shows we don't normally watch at home - including House Crashers on HGTV. This morning, there was an episode where they made over a loft space in a family home. The loft was GORGEOUS by the end of the show, and there was a phenomenal fire piece that Ben and I were totally lusting after. Unfortunately, I couldn't find photos of that space online yet as it was a new episode, so for now you're going to just have to trust me.


My Dream Mud Room

We are on a mini-vacation right now, but I wanted to share a quick post before I get back to the grind and finish up posts about our hard work in the basement of our home.
