shingle love.

Happy Thursday! I haven't written much about our house progress lately, so I thought I'd give you a little update. We're edging closer and closer to the actual build--and we're so excited! After months of review, our floorplan looks better than we ever dreamed. We are absolutely learning that building a house has its limitations {i.e. my favorite pinterest kitchens are absurdly expensive}, but we're better for it now. The final start date should be cemented soon {no pun intended!}. eeee!

As you might imagine, I am on the constant hunt for inspiration. One of the requirements for our development is the integration of natural looking siding. Before I moved to New England in 2009, I wasn't a huge fan of the wooden siding I spied everywhere. Three years later, my opinion has shifted completely. The look may not be for everyone, but I now consider myself to be in shingle love ;)

Our main goal with this build is to create a timeless home. The shingled look certainly would make our little abode stand the test of time in New England. I still can't believe how my tastes have changed, but I know this is one which will remain the same for many, many years to come.

I can't wait to see your autumn lust lists tomorrow for Friday's Fancies! {If you've posted one in the last few weeks, please feel free to link yours up too. Click here for more details.} See you tomorrow!
