A Love Affair with White

now that the word is out about all things pinterest, it is easy to get sucked into the searches for anything and everything...from fashion to recipes to party printables to home decor and design, you'll be addicted soon if you haven't hopped on the bandwagon quite yet.

sometimes i can't help myself but go ahead and "bookmark" some of my favorite home and room ideas for our next house...in particular, i have a fascination with all things white. friends know this, but my family has an obsession with white cars--my parents have 3 white cars and both jeff and i drive white cars--weird, i know.

ok, back to the subject at hand...one day, i can only hope we're able to build our dream home...a traditional southern colonial-type, something right out of southern living, ahhh, one can dream, no? here are some of my favorites:

that front porch has morning coffee time written all over it

we'll take that perfect pool for playtime and relaxation, too!

 not to mention the endless natural light for this house

loving the contrast of the dark wood floors and all that gorgeous white detail

does this room not scream happy home??

this one comes in a close second

i would have plenty of dinner parties in this fabulous dining room

and this kitchen...hello entertaining!

i don't think we would ever get up, nor would our guests  leave
if we had bedrooms like this

and for master bath time...an old-fashioned tub is a must!

now check out this adorable space for a small office nook

now we certainly can't forget the kiddies

nor the best laundry room i've ever seen

enough swooning for the day for this girl...that's the dream home in a nutshell! obviously i need to get back to work if we're ever going to get there ;)
