Like my “Just keep pinning” Pun?
Am I funny? No, just mom brain always taking over, thanks Dory.
Seriously though, Pinterest came in hot, fizzled out when other entertaining social media outlets came around, and this past year it has really stepped up its game! Pinterest is the ultimate one stop shop for inspiration. From home decor, recipes and hair styles – it is my central hub to scroll and save.

Let’s chat about some of my absolute favorite pins as of lately. The ones that are keeping me up at night. The exterior of our home + our first floor renovation for 2020.
We’ve chatted since we have moved in here, as to what we are going to do with the exterior of our home. Our siding is faded, and the new wave trend of gray/navy tones for siding are exploding. It’s taken long enough for home builders to recognize just how stunning these darker tones look against different landscapes. I want to go DARK. So dark gray its borderline BLACK.
I want people to turn the corner of our street and starting singing to themselves, “Here comes the house in black …” Will Smith style
A house so bold and moody, yet enveloping all emotions of comfort and calming.
Our siding is aluminum (Strong stuff!) So we are leaning to painting it – we’ve done it before, we’ll do it again!
As for our first floor renovation, we are going to spend the majority of 2019 planning it all out. Our house lacks light, BIG time. When your inside, the light barely comes in and we are constantly turning on light fixtures to off set the cloud of dull that is lurking throughout first floor.
We plan to extend our kitchen, to build it out to meet the back of our addition. Add a TON of windows along the back of our house –

The lighter floors, black rimmed windows … Oohh baby baby.
Light is so important to me. Each morning I implement light, movement and hydration within minutes of walking up. I am creature of habit, and we’ll chat more about that later this week in a fun personal post!
With the first floor expansion, the plan is to create a massive kitchen – a walk in pantry and new half bath. New flooring through the first floor, and fixing our stairway and railing going upstairs. We’ve had one quote done thus far, and now we are in the contemplating stage of what WE should do, and what we should pay SOMEONE ELSE to do. You know how we roll, trying to keep that pocket change to ourselves.
Head to my Pinterest page and take a gander at everything I am eyeing lately. And if you haven’t dabbled in pinning lately, get ready, because the content on Pinterest lately is oh SO good!
