Friday Fives {February 21, 2014}

 
So this week has been a bit of a blur. But in a great way.

We are now in serious mode about listing our house, even had a reator come over and start the process. Be still my house hunting heart.

Pictures will be taken Monday, painters will be here soon after that and our house will officially be listed!

But get this, just yesterday our realtor asked if we would be willing to show our house this Sunday because they had a buyer interested.

Wha???

It's becoming so real.

Which is awesome and overwhelming all in one...but more awesome than not, of course. I've been wanting a new house forever. {just ask Nick. I talk about it every day.}

But now I feel behind the game. I need to get pinning and planning for our new house - which we don't even own yet, or haven't picked out yet - but hey, that's just semantics, right?

I thought I would share the start of my inspiration thus far.

{one}
Stripes. I'm nothing short of obsessed with big, thick black and white stripes.

Bathroom
 
Playroom
Mud room
 
{two}Cruz's toddler room. I want white and color. Not sure what color, but here are some ideas. I mean he is claiming green is his fave these days, but with this one it changes daily so I can't plan around that.

For some reason I was drawn toward deer heads in my pinning. I don't hunt, but I kinda like it.

I mean, I am a farm girl.

Green // deer head
 
Deer head // wood detail

How do deer heads and this car bed go together? Well not very well. I mean imagine. How does it usually work out for deer and cars? Not good for the deer. That's how.

But I still like this bed.
Car bed
{three}
Dark and light contrasting paint. Dark gray, stark white. I'm in love.


Dark walls // white accents

Living space

Accent wall

{four}
Pop of color. I'm sure you know my love for the color yellow. It's just such a happy color. Immediately puts a smile on my face.

I envision a little yellow throughout my house.

Yellow
 
Bar stools

Yellow barn door
 
Yellow art
{five}
Home office - for me will probably be an office/spare room mix.  This is where I envision a lot of work and a little blogging being done. And basically is a "no boys" zone. I can't have a boy messing this space up.
B&W

 
Gallery wall & light fixture
 

Suffice it to say, I'm black, gray & white obsessed. And yellow. Obviously.

More to come on this house situation. It's definitely moving along faster than I thought it would.

Off to "stage" my house. Happy weekend!

  3. We are selling our house and building a new one right now. It he showings are a PITA, especially with a dog and a 1 year old. Luckily I have been given at least 3 hours notice with all showings so far.
    I am really thinking you looked at my Pinterest board. I want to do all of the same things in our new house. We are going a grey and white striped powder room and pops of yellow and lime green. I am too scared to do it on a larger scale but the powder room seems like a good place to have fun!

    1. I agree Dianne - the one in the picture could scare Cruz. Stick with your car motif.

  23. I agree, this is becoming quite real fast. But it’s all part of selling your house; you’ll surely get used to it, especially since your realtor is very hands-on with you and with the process. There’s nothing to worry about. You have a good set of inspiration for your new house, btw. I hope you find the house you want soon. So you can make your inspirations come to life. Good luck!

  24. Beautiful! If only house hunting wasn’t as stressful, but I digress. I love everything you’ve gathered as inspirations. I love them all! Although I think I can go without the deer head. I am in awe of the color yellow. It looks really good with the dark walls and white accents. Oh, and your planned office space? ADORBZ!!!

  25. Great inspirations for your new home! House hunting might be exhausting, but it’ll be all worth it once you’ve found your dream home. I hope you’ll be able to find your desired house as soon as possible. Any updates about your house hunting? :)
