52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 23!

I was thinking that a simple cape cod facade would be a deceiving exterior.  I love the simplicity of these quaint homes, and to allow for more space, I incorporated a split level design in the rear of the home.  


So simple, yet so beautiful.

To carry out the cozy feel, I would use decorative accent chairs.  Here are a few of my favorites.

52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 21!

Week 21! I have a cozy bedroom now, and love its quaint size, so I stemmed this weeks design with the simplicity of the room.  The only change I would make to my current space would be to switch the window wall (I only sleep on my right side, so I would love it if the sunrise would be conveniently positioned to wake me in the morning.  I love this wall color and the retro couch.  And I'm a sucker for orange/ peach roses.   Source A clean color scheme with eclectic accents for the kitchen. Source This deep blue with white trim and light wood are very serene and relaxing (and there is a chevron blanket which makes me like this space even more!)  Source Chevron!

Traveling & Life

My last post for my 52 weeks of floor plans conveniently coincided with a vacation I'd been anticipating all year.  I took 10 days off work - something I rarely do!  July 2nd I went on an adventure down south to places I had never been, with people I had never met but have long connections with!  I saw amazing views along the way... Somewhere in North Carolina.... I was able to cross "The Biltmore Estate" off my bucket list & visited Asheville, NC.  And my cousin's corny joke, "It's a little small....they could have built more" We then continued to South Carolina for a family reunion on the 4th!  And finally, my favorite part of the trip, the Smokey Mountains.  (Cosby, Tennessee) We stayed at a secluded log cabin on the top of a mountain with our own private road and 35 acres with trails on the property.   I sadly saw no bears, but heard them in the woods around us in the early hours of the morning.  I spent m...

...Prepping Meals... For the last few years, I've been freezing single portions of various meals to eliminate eating frozen processed foods. Most frequently, I will make soups and eat them throughout the month.  It's super easy, and makes life during a hectic work week a little less stressful.  My first staple frozen soup---- Vegetable with Escarole (when I ate meat, I would use the left overs from a roasted chicken, but now its just a collaboration of vegetables.)  This is perfect when under the weather and craving homemade soup! Escarole ! Perfect single size portion containers! The second is one of my favorites... White Bean Stew ! Source French Onion--- so easy to make! And most recently - Vegetarian Chili.  Saves time & money - highly recommend being organized and planning the simple things in life to make more time for good times with friends & family!
