Oh, How Pinteresting | House Hunters

You can probably tell by the title that House Hunters is one of my favorite shows and, I admit, I’ve been watching it lately which is what inspired what I’m about to share with you. I normally end up yelling at the people on the screen. “Pick house #2! Come on! You have to! #2, #2!!!!” They always go with #3. You know, the “charming detached with a view.” So, after seeing how specific all my pins were this week, I decided to share with you what my “qualifications” will be when I’m on House Hunters ;) I’m linking up with The Vintage Apple, as always!

Let us start off with the randoms. We’ll call these the “charming detached” homes

Charming, yes? A house has got to have personality in order for me to move in! As you can see with the above houses, I like asymmetrical everything which eliminates most cookie-cutter homes for this girl. I’ve found two main styles that really catch my eye {and heart}

First, we have the beach cottages

That last one is definitely one of my favorite houses ever. I’ll move in tomorrow. I love the soft colors, the beautiful shutters, the roof, and the palms of course :) I think what I love about it the most is that it’s a mixture of a beach cottage with my other favorite style of architecture:

Mediterranean Homes

Mmm, there’s just something about a tile roof with stucco mixed with a little stone. Reason number 5,427 why I love California so much but that’s a whole other story!

Now, unlike House Hunters, we don’t have the chance to see the inside of each of these homes :( I see a theme of posts coming in the future: Chelsea’s dream living room, kitchen, master suite, etc. Fun, fun!!

However, if I could choose from any of these, I’m really leaning towards the “cute beach cottage with the shutters” :)

I’m also linking up with Jamie again for What I’m Loving Wednesday!

I’m loving writing by hand. Just for fun. It’s always been a favorite of mine.

I’m loving Pinterest again. We are no longer on a break.

I’m loving dreaming about places I’ve been. Like Venice, Italy.

I’m loving the latest addition to my Essie collection: “Merino Cool” although I haven’t even worn it yet

I’m loving wedding cakes and, well, all things wedding-related. I’m an event planner, after all!

But, most importantly, I’m just loving this life. I love each day – each memory that’s created, each lesson that’s learned, each page that’s turned.

  5. Love those houses! Honestly I'm a sucker for houses that have big front porches - especially wrap around ones. I just imagine generations of children running around them and swinging time away on a big porch swing. Ahhhh, one day.

  7. Those beach cottages make me want to be on a beach now, not in rainy Texas. LOVEEEEEEEEE the mediterranean homes. TO DIE! My favorite of the bunch hands down. You better show us how the polish looks on, I am liking the color from the pic. Anddd last but not least, I have been Pinterest MIA lately and I'm dieing to go back. Only because I've been so busy have I been MIA, but I need some decoration inspiration. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time on it in the coming months. Especially looking for Holiday decor ideas!

    Have a good day! XOXO

  15. Um...so I totally think we are the same person. First our undying love for Mr. Gosling and now we have the same taste in future homes. You should move to LA. I will take the Mediterranean home and you get the beach cottage. We can trade on weekend:)

  25. Just started following you. Love your blog. House hunters is an everyday watch for me too! I too, find myself yelling at the people on the show telling them which house to pick. I love this post and I'm definitely a beach cottage kind of girl. Living in San Diego is wonderful, but living by the beach is a dream!
