Thursday's Thoughts...

Just a few things that have been on my mind lately....

Coastal Living 2011 Ultimate Beach House

This year the Ultimate Beach House was designed in the coastal town of East Beach in Norfolk, Virginia.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a lot of pictures of this house. The house is open for tours, with the ticket sale money benefitting the St. Mary’s Home for Disabled Children. Which is probably the reason why there aren't any pictures???

Here are the pics I was able to find...

The Beach House

Sitting area...I love window seats!!!

Main living room - gorgeous natural light!

Patio seating area with built in fireplace...looks like it could be cozy

That's all I could find....hopefully they will put more pics up soon!

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Happy Friday!

What's on your Fall Bucket List?

The other day, I stumble across this amazing blog....where I found this bucket list.

How fun, huh?!?! Full of everything I've been wanting to do this Fall - it's just perfect!!

Katie, from Loves of Life, printed her list off and I loved the idea so much that I did the same. I'm so glad I did because it's really started Kevin and I talking about when we will get each checked off!

On a related note, I lit my first Fall candle yesterday - woo hoo!! And with our amazing weather, I think it's safe to say....

Fall is Here!!!

DIY Blog Cabin

The DIY network, along with their views, designed this beautiful cabin! Here's a little bit about the cabin from the DIY network's website ~
