I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to having a new space. While I love certain elements of our Montana home - the O'Keefe and Merritt range in our kitchen, the gas fireplace in our living room, the aqua blue bathroom we remodeled ourselves - the house is dark, the living room is painted multiple colors, and our bedroom is in desperate need of some work.
As I mentioned Sunday, I've been day dreaming about bright colorful bedding and our decor. I'm hoping to create a gallery wall behind our couch - a way to display my photography, odds and ends like Trevor's "rude dog" license plate and all of the original art we've collected. I'm also itching for patterned throw pillows and making our own storage from brightly painted wooden crates.
Without a real to-do list now that I'm finished by first degree, I find myself with a lot of free time. Since it's a little early to pack everything away, I've been spending a lot of time browsing through Pinterest, home decor blogs, my favorite stores, and the worst of it all, Apartment Therapy.
Considering that I'd already done the research, bookmarked articles, and pinned inspiration, I thought I would share with you 10 blog posts that are inspiring me with color schemes, DIY projects, and more.
