Inspiration Houses

There are several homes that are out there on other blogs that are very inspirational to me.

Here is one of my very favorites.
This is part of Serena's new home from www.thefarmchicks.com.

Her laundry/mudroom is fantastic.

  

This is her pantry.

With adjustable shelves, no less.

The back wall and opposite side wall are much deeper, so they work well for storing extra serving dishes, glassware, small appliances,

and the bulk foods.

And the door is not too shabby either!

This kitchen is so light and airy.

I love it.

I love the ceiling, the farmhouse sink, the quartz countertop, the white subway tile, and much more.

I think the lighting is very cool.

Then there is a built-in downdraft fan, behind the cook top. 

There is not anything that she hasn't planned out.

  

It has a cutting board built in and you can scrape the scraps straight into the compost bin below. 

Genius!

Central vac.  Need I say more!

Loads of cabinets!!

Do you have some inspirational home blogs out there that you would like to share with me??

I would love to see them.

The Makings of a Porch

The cement for the porches has been poured today.
It made them look much larger.

One of the back porches.

And the other one.

This girl is getting excited!

Okay, now I'm looking for a porch swing.

Pantry Ideas From Pinterest

Here are some Pinterest pantry ideas.

From houzz.com

I like the doors, the light, and, of course, the leaded glass transom window!

These doors are pretty interesting, too.

From downtoearthstyle.blogspot.com

I like this door the best!  

What do you think?

From fortheloveofahouse.blogspot.com

I love the idea of a little bit of art work in the pantry.

From re-nest.com

I think the lights in this picture are pretty cool.

From marthastewart.com

Martha always has the greatest ideas for storage.

From womansday.com

This is my dream pantry, right here!

From everyday-lovely.blogspot.com

But I am drawn to this yellow one, too!

I think it might be the baskets.

Lots of ideas!

Our Front Door - July

Happy Independence Day!!

I posted a video on my other blog, www.justrestingup.wordpress.com

Saturday in the Park by Chicago.

I love that song.

Here is what our front door looks like this month.

Just a star with a small flag draped through it.

Simple.

This is a picture of the whole doorstep.

Have a great day.

Window Shipment is Here

Now we are getting somewhere!!

The windows and the front door have arrived. 

We ordered them from Lansing Building Products, they were the only company that had the transom that I wanted for the front door.
And I must tell you, it is awesome.

There are triple windows, double windows with transoms, and I think every window is a different size.

Some of these windows are very heavy.

But don't worry, I was out there to supervise!

Before long they will be installed and you will be the first to know!
