It's time to take notes!

2.) Gravel {possibly shells} driveway

3.) Exterior is all different levels {not a stucco box & flat}

4.) Proper entry

5.) Continuation of shingle siding {not broken up}

:: Close up of entry - Front porch ::

1.) Different size & designed windows {they say that different windows on a house brings good luck plus show a very creative & good architect}

2.) Incorporated brick {didn't paint it either}

3.) Look at all the trim & detail on the exterior

4.) Perfect shutters {coastal}

5.) Classic porch lite

3.) Love the latches on the cabinet doors

4.) Fabulous wood floors

5.) Fun lights {I'm sitting on the fence on those...Hmmm}

1.) Brought the red from the island over to the bar stools {nice follow through}

2.) Added glass cabinets to help the kitchen still feel open {plus nice display for china...etc.}

3.) Deep enough eating surface

4.) Simple & smooth counter tops {not busy & distracting}

5.) Like the texture on the bar {beaded board}

:: Bathroom ::

1.) Kept the bathroom simple & white {can change it up with towels...etc. throughout the years}

2.) Beaded boarded {that sounds so awkward to say} the walls {nice touch}

3.) Put wood flooring in the bathroom {no rules... Good one}

4.) Tied the mirror with the floor {remember red island & red bar stools}

5.) Bathtub, bathtub, bathtub... Need I say more!

:: Master Bedroom Closet ::

1.) Wood floors

2.) In closed all the closets with doors {no one needs to see your mess}
