House Inspirations

I have written before that we are intending to sell our current home and hopefully embark on building our dream home within the next two years. The main reason for this is to have the girls (especially Regan) in what I consider the ideal school district in the area. My main goal for the next year and a half is to get my home ready to put on the market...which fortunately is still a good real estate market at the moment.

There are many things that are on my to-do list to get the house market ready...like having matching garage doors (when we needed one replaced a few years ago....the store no longer carried our previous style), replacing rusting gutters, installing crown molding in the master bedroom and dining room, and tiling the master bath and girl's bath. I am in the process of researching the best, most frugal, and very flattering decorative hardware that would get attention from potential buyers, and not cost me a bundle.
I have been inspired by the Inviting Home website and all of their beautiful home decor. A lot of it has that Southern Living Traditional style that I covet with every ounce of my being. The only problem I have when I troll through the website is that I keep taking notes of things I want for my future home instead of concentrating on quick fixes for the home I have. I have been particularly distracted by the gorgeous shutters which would be a perfect addition to our next home should we be in danger of evacuating for yet another hurricane or as potential protection against the random tornado. As you can see there are way to many pretties at this site....I need to focus on my reality....not the dream of what is to come.
