The House Hunting Adventures Begin

Mike and I are currently in the process of looking to buy a house. A few weeks ago we fell in love with a house that we really hoped would be ours only to have it get snatched up by another buyer rather quickly and unexpectedly. After licking our wounds over that disappoint, we went out house hunting again yesterday and found a place we really like. It’s cute, it has the perfect floor plan for our lifestyle and the location is great. We’re seriously considering putting in an offer and, naturally, my head has gone right into decorating mode. All I can think about are the new kitchen cabinets I want to buy, the great paint colors I can try and all of the little ways we can make it our own. The life of a potential home owner is much like that of a wedding planning bride – I’m once again officially on the hunt for inspiration all the time. I’ll keep you posted on how the house hunt plays out, but in the meantime here are a few of the things that are inspiring me right now…

Dramatic gray walls and the fun play between traditional lines and bold modern color and pattern. (From Desire to Inspire.)

Love the floating shelves behind the dining table and the soft and soothing color scheme.
(From Young House Love.)

White cabinets, aqua subway tiles and bead board ceilings = perfection.
(From Country Home via Dream in Domestic.)

Perhaps the greatest little home office I’ve ever seen – love the framed peg board for craft supply storage.
(From Brooklyn Limestone.)

Who knew twin beds could be so cool?
(From Domino from The Domino Magazine Files.)
