The Saturday Six

 

Any of you watching Hometown Takeover with Ben and Erin Napier? We've been watching it and loving the transformation. (If you're so confused right now...Ben and Erin are the stars of the show Home Town on HGTV. They renovate homes in Laurel, Mississippi and do a great job of bringing new life to a small town! Recently they did a second show called Hometown Takeover, where they traveled to Wetumpka, Alabama and renovated several homes and businesses there to revitalize the community.) It's inspiring to see what they can do! It's possible that a few of my Pinterest boards got a makeover of their own because the creative juices are flowing! So today's ideas are inspired by the Hometown Takeover and things I would be likely to put in a someday house!

One.

Ryan teases me about being allergic to overhead lighting in a house. I just so very dearly love the ambience of lamplight, so it's true that I rarely use the overhead light in any room of our home, unless I need to see something really, really well. I find overhead lighting far too bright and harsh. But I did find these lights (which come in a variety of styles and numbers of light-per-fixture) that have such character. I think I could be inspired to use a light fixture like these! 

Two.

No, we're not having a baby, but if you have a home with stairs, sometimes you need a gate. (We had gates in our Kokomo house to separate Braeya and Phoebe when they first met.) But standard baby gates lack personality, in my opinion. So if we ever had a home with stairs and I thought a gate might be helpful, I'd want a unique one like this! 

Three.

Sometimes my Pinterest boards don't reflect any actual budget I would have, you understand. ;) But if I had a lofty budget, I think this wall treatment would make a fabulous accent wall. In reality, I could probably afford to purchase enough to make a single piece of wall art. Not the whole wall. LOL! But I still love it! 

Four.

I don't remember if I've shared this on here before or not, but our tenant apartments actually have coat racks/benches very similar to this one, and we really love them. This one is a little higher end than the ones in there, but the look is very much the same. Ryan and I have this on our wish list for our own apartment, actually! It holds quite a bit without taking up too much room! 

Five.

This doesn't work for us where we are, because our windows don't extend far enough down to catch the lower plants, but I really adore this plant stand. If we ever again have a house with a sun room or sliding glass doors or any other such large window, I'd love to have one of these! 

Six.

And while I don't think I want to live in a house that would have a kitchen this big, I am kind of in love with this entire kitchen. It's beautiful!
