Did you know we're moving? That's right. We've got to be all packed up and ready to go in 7 days! Suffice to say there is a lot to do and we can think of nothing more. Hence, this week's Wednesday Work: Home Design - images collected by Design*Sponge.
Design*Sponge is a fabulous blog offering insight into beautiful homes, DIY craft and home projects, beautiful art, and more! Its always been my go to when I am trying to brainstorm, and especially now that we are embarking on a new adventure.
So now you know we're moving, did we tell you our new house is a dump? That's right.
The up-side? Our lovely landlord who we rent from now is also owner of the new property and he is giving us the green light to do whatever it is we want to do. Not only that he has offered to pay for all of our home improvement supplies!
So wait, why are we moving into a dump? It's twice as big for the same price! Twice the studio space, a built in nook for The Sea's record player, and a fully finished basement with a sink and a drain!
(liz demos of @ home)So - what do we want? As you can see from these images I've collected here, some of my favorites from Design*Sponge: Sneak Peeks, I want open rooms, natural light, calm, and comfortable.

Not too cluttered, but not too organized either. I want that lived-in feeling, ideally lived-in-by-wonderful-people-you-would-want-to- invite-to-your-next-backyard-bbq-and-be-best-friends-with-forever.
There are some limitations of the new place we won't be able to get around. There actually aren't that many (nor are they big) windows. Its just not the style of the old row home architecture of the neighborhood.
But we CAN make sure to put plants in the bathroom,
And awesome art in the bedroom,
And a garden in the backyard, pretty curtains in the living room, colors that pop in the kitchen, we've even been discussing painting the back wall of our backyard (the one that is concrete blocks painted white right now) with some nice stencil work!
Stay tuned, as all of these home-improvement projects are sure to be shared here.
And in the meantime, check out more of these lovely homes, plus many more, by visiting the Sneak Peeks section at Design*Sponge, here.
