i'm utterly in love with this house i found on houzz:
it's pretty amazing how similar in aesthetic it is to what we have picture for our house. we love the slate blue exterior, with white trim, and dark blue frames. we've actually discussed doing just that (we already have the slate blue exterior, but our trim is a light yellow - which we hate - and we'll need to replace all the doors and windows anyway).
even the exterior you see above with the wooden deck and french doors is a look we want off the side of the house where the kitchen is. absolutely gorgeous, and inspiring!
and talk about built-ins! i love, love the built-ins, and the beams in the living room. i don't think we'll go as dark as they did with the floors and beams, but it is really pretty. and the floor to ceiling built-ins below for an office and the bedroom - that's pretty much exactly what we want as well, with interesting and creative nooks for space savings and storage. so clean, so simple. we'll definitely be referring to these images often once we get to doing all the aesthetic renovations.. the only thing i don't love is the headboard. seriously, that's it!
even the paneled ceiling, with white walls and light warm grey cabinets and trim. so clean, and pleasing.
