Okay, I'm stumped. Outdoor spaces are not in my wheelhouse. Perhaps if there is someone who is into outdoor spaces, they could start a thread for exteriors? Maybe this is the interior thread now.

1. Bathroom without tub, blue and white, classic (maybe w/ glam)
2. Light blue or blue-green bedrooms, classic with possible quirk

On HGTV:
Windy City Rehab - great design, doesn't gloss over the bumps along the way, always tells you the real timeline.
One of a Kind - interesting design, sometimes quirky. The star was a blogger, then a designer. Her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astoriedstyle
Dear Genevieve - older show, but available On Demand or through the app. Genevieve is an amazing designer. She's excellent.
Restored by the Fords - more modern, but I find it inspiring
Best House on the Block - set in our area! On Demand or via the app. I think it's usually on the DIY Network, which is odd because it fits the HGTV format well.

Youtube channels that might be interesting:
House & Home - Canadian shelter magazine that churns out videos.
Sarah Richardson - Canadian designer that mixes high and low a lot. You'll see her use Ikea and vinyl planks along with expensive fabrics.
Studio McGee - lots of content, a very consistent style that sort of reminds me of the average instagram influencer's style.
Quintessence - house tours with designers and so informative. Huge variety, from castles to cottages.
Open House NBC - New York based real estate show that is on NBC New York. They publish all their shows on youtube, too. Always expensive, sometimes over-the-top.
Three Birds Renovation - Australian design/build team. They have a very specific style, but they're fun to watch.
Building a Better South - a design/build firm out of Kentucky. GORGEOUS homes.
Paula McDonald - Design/build firm in Manhattan. Amazing inspiration for small spaces, especially kitchens and baths. She always shows how she overcomes weird building features.
Architectural Digest - not the most accessible, but interesting house tours!
House Beautiful - content isn't super consistent, but the recent series with designers talking about their rooms in a show house was great!
One more for the blue and white dining room person...

Light blue nurseries (practical)

Light fixture is a little much, but the rest is simple


I'm pretty sure those animal prints are from HomeGoods




Maybe without the bird decals




Contemporary living rooms, dark sofas















Just because someone mentioned the oven they want to get in another thread, I'm sharing this.

Things I'm working on:

1. Contemporary living rooms, darker sofa
2. Light blue nurseries
3. Simple decks (I have to admit that outdoors is NOT my strong point)
4. Bathroom without tub, blue and white, classic (maybe w/ glam)

OOS tuition for both changed things. I thought you meant IS for UNC and OOS for UVA.

Wow! I saw the Susanne Kasler version of the longer one in a soft, aqua color a few years ago and it was stunning. Would LOVE it you shared more of your kitchen design!
The more I look at the photos, the more I want to see the rest of the kitchen and understand the layout. I found this picture of the kitchen in-progress. The sink is on the back wall, cook top is on the left, microwave in the island, and fridge units are on the right. I can't figure out where the ovens are. It looks like there's an open space in the island, facing the sink, but that doesn't make sense. Maybe the ovens are closer to the camera, on the left, and we just can't see them?

My husband and I are avid hikers. It's was amateur hour the last time we went out (2nd week of March). All these people have suddenly discovered the parks and they aren't keeping a distance or using "leave no trace" principles.

We went to a Virginia state park two weekends ago and the parking lot was unusually busy for the early morning. We went out on a trail we knew wasn't popular (too long for newbies) and when we came back, the parking lot was packed and people were not keeping their distance.

If you're a hiker, you'll want to take this time off. You don't want to be out there.
Little girl's room with green and/or loft bed. I'm assuming bunk is okay just to give you ideas.

















It's a nursery, but OMG!

I might not have the fanciest house, but I have really good, comfortable seating in multiple rooms. Just when I can't take another second of working in one spot, I can switch to another.
wrong thread!
This is kind of strange, but I thought I'd share it. I was looking at a designer's instagram on my computer instead of my phone this morning and the color she used on some kitchen cabinets looked different between a photo she took with her phone (left) and a professional photographer's photo (right).

On top of that, I have a two-screen set up at my desk and the difference in the colors gets more dramatic when I move the browser window to my new, stand-alone monitor. On my laptop, both pictures show a soft-sage green, though the phone picture is a touch blue. On my monitor, the phone picture is sage and the pro picture is a bright, grass green.

They tell you that monitors make colors look different and not to pick paint based on internet photos, but my new monitor really drove the point home. I'm curious if you're seeing a subtle difference or a dramatic one with your screens.
