I’m dreaming in colors…

We signed the papers in agreement of the house we have been bidding on! We are absolutely thrilled and cannot wait to move in! It’s hard to believe this is actually happening, as it feels like we have hunted for the right house forever. These next few weeks will be filled with dreaming, planning and packing as we prepare for our closing date! I’m pretty sure I’ve spent more time on Pinterest in the last week than I ever have, because I’ve been dreaming about colors and themes for our new rooms! It’s so easy to pin the most gorgeous, extravagant room ideas…interiors that we will never have in our home. I’ve been instead focusing on realistic ideas like color schemes, DIY ideas, curtains, rugs, etc.

Here are some of my inspirations so far…

Dining Room: If you’ve followed my blog for over a year now, you’ll know my love for my painted walls in the office of my old home. I’ve always said that I will do something similar once we own our own place, and here’s what I’m thinking. Similar color scheme (grays and neutrals) but an all-over stencil pattern rather than tackling the free hand painting again!

Another painting idea, but this time it’s striped walls for the guest bedroom! I love the idea of the sweet little country-ish chair with items a guest would enjoy Kitchen: we will have a pretty modest kitchen to work with, so little things like paint colors and curtains will go a long way! One of the walls is completely empty – no cabinets or anything, just a window.  So I’ve been thinking how fun these skinny shelves could be, with pretty jars and kitchen-ey things. No idea if this is possible, but I’m just dreamingIn the photos below, I love the blue curtains but not the deep blue walls. just fyi The living room will need some major sprucing-up. I’m loving the light grey walls and tan curtains. Master bedro0m: For some reason, I am crazy about these yellow and grey details!! And I am digging the DIY rustic wood headboard!
And for a few other lovely do-able details… Links to all of these pretty images can be found on my pinterest boards here.
