FAVORITE HOME LOOKS

15 Beautifully Organized Kitchen Cabinets – I have grand plans of actually making things a bit more organized in our new home. And the fact that we’re going to have a walk-in pantry (squeeeeel!) makes me even more excited to try to make it look somewhat presentable. I fully understand I’m likely getting in over my head on this one, but still…I mean, how pretty does that look??

Speaking of new homes and getting in over my head…I would absolutely LOVE to eventually include a three seasons room on the back of our house, kind of like this one.

And since we’re at it, I’d also totally love to have a new pool like this, too (oh, how I’ll miss our pool!).

I mean, hey, a girl can dream, right? I think I ought to start buying lotto tickets or something…

Or, better yet, maybe I should just stick with the things that are a little more affordable now. Like this super cute DIY serving shelf.

I think we (and our budget) can handle that one a bit easier.

How about you guys? Any fun finds…awesome recipes, workouts, articles, or anything else from this week?

    Hi Court! Happy Saturday! Love the home pictures! Hey, dream big and maybe you can make all of those happen. As far as from this week? I learned that you can roast veggies straight from being frozen. Totally cool, right? I did it twice!

    I didn't know yesterday was chocolate chip cookie day either! I better celebrate this weekend... In our "dream home" we have a big deck that wraps around the house - those seem so uncommon now (except for way in the South) but between that and a big fenced-in backyard, I know it would be used allll the time.
