Welcome: House Tour

While browsing Pinterest yesterday, I came across this beaut 

and just had to share it!

You'll thank me- I promise:)

It's not often that I will investigate an image on Pinterest but when I saw this, I had to. And boy, was I glad I did!

This 7,000square foot Texas home has 5 bedrooms,5 bathrooms 
and a whole lot of style. 

Unfortunately, it is no longer for sale and the designer wasn't listed. 

Enough talkin'-start lookin'

Welcome. I wish I could tell you this was my home...

 

 such a neutral living room

 As you can see, they carried the same curtains throughout the house

look at these old floors!

and that door!

 One lucky husband to have a billiard room.

 I do think I could live with this though

Ok, - I absolutely HATE t.v's above fireplaces.

But I'd live with it if this were my home:)

I am in love with these beams

 So much great open space. I wonder if they entertained a lot?

A lot of counter space in the kitchen. I like how light and airy it is.

In the butlers pantry you can see a close up of the backslash. Are you a fan?

The guest bathroom...

  

And the upstairs hallway

Once again, these floors!

I'm pretty sure I love everything about this master. 

The beams, the high ceiling...

The private sitting area...

And we can't overlook this bathroom. Honed limestone, a great bathtub and an open shower (now that is how you do a glass shower).

I've always liked ottomans in bathrooms.

A lucky little girl sleeps in this room.

How pretty is this bathroom? I think pretty is the best word to describe it!

Perfect for a little girl- or an adult.

And the nursery...

notice the wall to wall seagrass

Off of the nursery is this timeless bathroom.

I adore this playroom. It's not full of furniture which leaves the kids plenty of room to play. Also that ceiling- I want one! 

I would spend every night out here. 

Eric would love to grill and watch t.v. at the same time.

and then there is the pool. Do I even need to say anything about it?

If you don't want to swim, you can hang out here.

See. Told ya!

It's a gorgeous house

I wonder what the new owners have done with it?

I'd love to see this woman's new house.

Nursery Design: Baby B's Nursery Plan

I think nurseries are my favorite rooms to design! Maybe because I love babies or maybe because I like to see nurseries that aren't all "baby". 

Why decorate a room that can't be used when the child is older?

When Caroline and I were talking, her only request was not too much pink. Other than that, I had free rein! 

Baby B's Nursery

My plan is for the walls to be white and the ceiling to be blue! It will be an added pop of color for baby B when she's laying in her crib.

I don't think you need to spend a ton of money to have a g great room. Many of the items we will be able to DIY.

Dresser 
with help from Ikea and O'verlays, we can achieve the same look  
 

Lamps

we can find some old lamps and do this to them
 

Curtains

I want wider stripes-sew (no pun intended:) we someone who knows how to can sew pink and white fabric together
 

Paintings

my mom is an artist so she can tackle those!  

Rabbit artwork 

Instead of using fabric, I think it would be a sweet touch if big sister Stella painted them!

I can't wait to see this nursery come together! 

I hope baby B will love it!
