Our Humble Abode and Our Own House to Home Journey

Just a quick post. I wanted to share another fun blog I found! I'm loving the home makeover blogs right since we just bought our first house. Anything to get my creative juices and ideas flowing! Our Humble Abode does just that.

I LOVE this armoire makeover.

Like Mindy, I love a white kitchen with pops of colors. Exactly what I plan to do with

 our kitchen.

The blue she used in her boys room is to die for and I've been thinking about using a similar shade in the play room, it would match the girls toy buckets well.

She even used my fav spray paint color on this cute lamp makeover here.

If you are in Utah, Mindy also does photography.

Take a peak at Mindy's blog. I'm sure you'll find some inspiration!

And lastly, I've had questions about our own House to Home Journey Blog that I previously mentioned. I'm warning you, there's nothing there right now. I've been taking "before" pictures, and will get those up soon, but unfortunately, there's not much "after" pics to yet. We worked out front all day yesterday (we had planned to paint, but once again put it off) and there's still quite a bit to do out front. If you want to pop our blog link in your google reader, go ahead, but I can't promise any fun posts any time soon!

Happy Wednesday!

{ I want I need! }

We still have not closed on our house.

Our lender has been lame. I've wanted to cry. I have cried.

We were out of town this week for a family reunion at Reid Ranch and had to make a 4 hour drive round trip to deal with some things for the loan that should have been taken care of months ago, or at least last week when I asked if they needed anything else before we left for our trip. In keeping myself sane, I have been searching for inspirational projects or items I want I need for the house.

Here are a few!

I {adore} Knock-Off Wood.

I want to build everything on Ana's site. We plan to build the twin farmhouse bed for my daughters' room.

The blue in the plans is tempting, but we will probably just paint it white.

She does have plans for a bench I want to build, paint blue and put at the foot of her bed.

Love. It.

I've already been contemplating colors for the home.

It's been a toss up between yellow or red for the kitchen.

I think this window treatment idea for DIY Ideas has solved the dilemma!

{ I want I need! } this Typewriter Keys art from Pottery Barn.

They are sold out.

Who am I kidding? I wouldn't pay the $300 for it if they had it in stock anyway.
I've seen a few bloggers that have made their own.

I just might try!

This old chair turned planter is SO cute.

Jasey from Crazy Daisy is genius.

We have some pretty worn chairs from Ikea. I think I might have to sacrifice one or two.

We have very little space on the front steps/porch, but i think one might fit perfectly.

And again, love the blue!
