As soon as Justin and I were married, I starting dreaming about our forever home. I cut pictures from magazines and printed them from websites and stored them in a cute little binder. Periodically, I would sit and go through that binder, pulling out ideas I no longer liked and reorganizing it. Enter Pinterest and it is so much easier to organize inspiration. Now, don’t get me wrong. I still love flipping through my Southern Living and HGTV magazines, but I no longer cut out the images I love. I find them online and pin those babies.

For the past year or so, I’ve had a secret (gasp!) Pinterest board titled “Alabama Acres.” I’ve rotated lots of pins through that board and now that we have our plans, I’ve narrowed my inspiration down even further. Today, just for kicks, I would like to share my Pinterest-Inspired home with you, my lovely readers.

Kitchen.

Light flooring, white to-the-ceiling cabinets, light countertops, farmhouse sink, and an inconspicuous range hood….all the things I want in my forever kitchen!

Living.

Understated fireplace, wall-to-wall built ins, tv above mantle.  All that’s missing from this picture is a giant, comfy sectional sofa.

Laundry room.

Our laundry room plans have windows above the washer and dryer, much like this.  I envision lockers similar to the ones above, as well.  The verdict is out on the sink though.  I can’t decide if a laundry room sink is necessary or not.  I’d love your suggestions!

Master bathroom.

This layout is very similar to the plans for our master bathroom.  I love the gray floors and gray walls, the freestanding tub, full glass shower, and lots of windows.  (PS:  My grandmother keeps telling me I’m going to hate having so many windows one day.  I want windows on windows on windows right now.)

Guest bathroom.

I love the idea of having a plank accent wall in our half bath.  I think I would want it white, because I’m so drawn to the airy feeling of lots of white.

Several of you have asked where we are right now on the house-building front.  I think I owe you a little update! We’ve finalized our plans and are currently getting prices from the different people we will be working with.  Honestly, our main focus right now is getting our fixer upper ready to move back into.  Things are going so very well at my moms (see this post from my sister!) but we are ready to have our own space back.  And I’m going to need to get my summer clothes out of storage if we are there much longer!
