If they build it, we will come

I've been less than a good blogger lately. A fair sized chunk of my blogging/commenting time has been consumed by the fact that we not only just bought a house...we have to build it.
Wait, we're not building it, we're having it built. And oy, this building process is quite the time sucker.
I'm just looking forward to the time when I get to pick all the upgrades and color schemes.
I gotta say, I find the task of decorating the place a little daunting though.
Any of you loverly readers have a favorite design blog that I can use for inspiration?

Jackie said...

so exciting! I need design ideas too! We will hopefully be buying a house in the next couple months!

Natalie said...

Congrats on the house! I recommend Young House Love for design inspiration!

Shannon said...

I agree with Natalie. YHL is a good one. I have a few listed under "Homies" on my favorites page. Layla and Kevin at The Lettered Cottage are absolutely adorable and have some great ideas too. http://theletteredcottage.net/ Have fun!

How exciting!

I'm old school- I like to flip through actual paper magazines to look for ideas. I do, however, look at clothing style blogs, so maybe I should check out more home design ones as well :)

I'm very jealous of you right now! We're in our wee little condo and the most redecorating I've been able to do is paint a few walls. Congrats on the new place and good luck with the decorating!

Are you having it built from original plans or through a homebuilder? (I worked for one of the big homebuilders in this area for years, so I'm curious :-)

Young House Love, Design Sponge, Desire to Inspire...those are just a few I love to look at.

Oh my gosh! So exciting!! Congratulations and I hope the colour picking is done soon. When my parents built their house, they were so fed up with all the colour picking/tile picking/carpet/hardwood etc etc etc

That is so exciting and getting a house built according to your specifications is a dream come true. I really like Young House Love for design ideas. There is another one my friend reads called Bower Power that I've heard is nice too.

Congratulations on the house! How exciting to get to build it from the start and customize it to your liking!

Definitely Young House Love and I also love The Brick House but it may not be everyone's style. :)

Congrats!
