Loving: Seattle Homes

While watching a marathon of House Hunters, I had to ask myself, what would my dream home really look like? Being from a small conservative town, everyone has almost the same house and when you go inside, they have the same decor too! 

If you have known me for any period of time, you know that I like to do things my own way!

This "normal" standard just kills me. 

Where is the creativity? Where is the fun? 

Who told you you have to have beige carpets and primitive decor!?

Is there a rule I missed about having a chicken-themed kitchen?! (end rant.)

So anyway. =]

When I was in Seattle I loved to look at the wonderful homes.

They just have so much class and an eye for art, yet are modest-sized homes.

Here are a few things I love about these homes: 

I love the look of this Wood siding! 

Huge Windows would be great! Of course you would have to live in an area that is not crowded and possibly a view so you have something to look at!
Imagine the natural light! 

I am crazy about the idea of adding a pop of Color to the exterior.
Maybe a royal blue rather than a yellow?

 Look at this Chartreuse Kitchen!
Fun colored room are a must! 

But sometimes a nice white room is nice! Especially when there is so much  Natural Light!

The idea of a Loft excites me! I think it would be a wonderful place for our office!

And of course I would need an adorable Sewing Studio!
I love this sewing table in the nook!

So basically, I want wood-grain, color, and windows!
Maybe an adorable loft and a balcony too.
Not too much to ask! =] 

At Home: In the Bathroom.

Yes, probably a weird place to start introducing you to our little home. 

But so far it is the first one done due to its importance. 

Here is the process from beginning to end, minus the very beginning when it actually had a floor.

Note: We currently are renting from my in-laws and the entire family was working on the apartment like mad two weeks before our wedding so we could move in. Which was kinda fun, but also fairly stressful when you were looking at a bathroom with no toilet or sink when it was move in time! 

Proceed:

The bathroom got a fresh coat of paint. I was originally thinking a french blue for the room, but my mother-in-law found this navy on sale and we went with it. I was a little nervous at first because I did not want the bathroom to look smaller. We decided to leave the ceiling and the right wall white to add the idea of space and balance the white appliances. 

I now love the color of our bathroom. We look so hip and cool! 

The tub got a fresh coat of paint too! 

It looks 300x better than it did. Tub 'n Tile paint. It works!

And then we finally had a floor, a sink, AND A TOILET!

I pulled my shower curtain from home and we added a fresh graphic rug.

I love this rug! I want to buy an endless supply so I would never have to live without it. 

But that would just be crazy.

I found these silhouettes at a thrift shop! 

Perfect companions to our His and Hers hand towels!

Thanks for stopping by!

Come back soon to see more rooms!
