Inspiration

Before we get into our interior remodeling I wanted to share a little of the inspiration that we pulled from for the house. As we were looking for a house the websites Houzz.com and Pinterest became my best friend. Some get overwhelmed with these sites and get lost in all all offers or get serious house envy. For me it was a great way of showing us what we wanted in a house and what we really did NOT want in a house. I was pretty surprised at things that I learned that I liked and then I was surprised by things I thought I wanted but when I saw them in multiple homes I quickly realized I didn’t want those things. So here is a little look at what inspired us in looking for a home and also in the remodeling of The Square House. I’ll try and give credit for the images where possible, some images I couldn’t find the original source. I’ll also talk a little about each image and what we loved about it and how it inspired us. Skip my narrative if you want 🙂

Inspiration- All white, open floor plan, and use of farmtable. I love the mixture of modern and rustic and also the vaulted ceilings.

Inspiration- Simplictiy. For our bedroom I really wanted to take it back to my love of simplicity within rooms. We eventually will be building a platform bed frame like this one. Also our room will only have a bed and the end tables. Nothing else.

Inspiration- Dressing up a farm table with benches. We finally have room for the farm table that I built for Philip’s 26th birthday party (the one where I cooked 7 course for 10 people…) and I am really excited to be able to use it in our formal dining area.

Inspiration- modern garden, clean lines for the outdoors, and mixture of concrete with greenery. We plan to take the wild jungle on the side of the house and turn it into a Zen garden area similar to this.

Inspiration- white cabinets, large kitchen sink, open shelving, dark counters. We got lucky and the previous owner installed dark granite counters and a huge stainless farm sink with a gorgeous faucet. Ha who knew that a faucet could be gorgeous. 🙂

Inspiration- And last but not least wood choice. We knew (well eventually knew) that we would be putting in hardwood flooring. We kept coming back to this dark wood with plenty of texture and wood grain showing.
