All-American Hotdog: Happy 4th of July!!

Yes, it is national hotdog month, but lets remember what this day is about. Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Thanks Wiki! But in all seriousness it is about remember how we as a nation got to where we are today. But with that being said, enjoy the time with family and friends, BBQ-ing, hanging by the pool or eating some hotdogs and here are so ideas for making your celebration that much better! Happy Independence Day! Enjoy!


 Change up that dusty mantle with some festive decorations.


 Make you front porch standout and stand up for America!
 
 
 
 Having a party, and happen to have a gazebo? Dress it up a little to make it feel special and part of the festivities.



 Can't stand the heat outside? (Here in Houston it is supposed to be pretty hot this 4th)Take the party inside and class up those glass jars you may use for other holidays. Sure Independence Day is usually a casual time but who says it can't have shiny things!

Coastal Living at it's Finest!

Coastal living has always been sought after for relaxation or to get away from your everyday routine. Some people chose to live on the coast full time and I am sure they enjoy every minute of it. If you choose to build a waterfront home make sure the views are first priority! From every part of home you should see a stunning view, no acceptations. Now, here are some tips when you decide to make your dream retirement home or just have a love for water. Like I said before, the views are priority, why else would you live there, right? The main living areas, kitchen, bedrooms and even the bathrooms and laundry areas should have a view. even if you can't put a huge picture window, think of how you use that space and position your windows accordingly. Here are some rooms that take advantage of their amazing views without sacrificing functionality.  Enjoy!



 Ah the first view you have when you awake. Stunning right? For a bedroom you always want the view to be facing the bed so when you rise and shine you instantly feel refreshed. Also a great way to start your day. Adding a stone fireplace to blend with the natural rocks outside is a great way to blend the inside and out nicely. Also think about native materials when choosing them for the interior.


 Now you always want to have a water friendly area accessible from the outside, And this sitting room is just that. You can relax in a more casual space that you can sit in your wet swim suits. When the weather is nice this is a great feature to have a wall of doors that fully open to the deck. Then you can enjoy the view, be "outside"  and not get sunburned all from a comfortable seat.



  What a comfortable looking room. The picture window and door give you living art that changes with the seasons. Who wouldn't want that! People tend to steer away from light color fabircs but using indoor/ outdoor fabric, such as Sunbrella, can allow you to get the crisp, clean look you want and still be able to clean it if something happened.


  Who needs lighting when you have this much natural when putting your make up on in the morning! Most people like a mirror in the bathroom and this is great application so you don't obstruct the wonder beach view.  With plenty of storage this bathroom has all you need and much more!


Hope you enjoyed this week's inspiration! Get ready for summer and enjoy!

Decked OUT!

No matter what region you live in there is something to be said for having a deck of your own. Need to tear out your old broken one or maybe your home never had one? Now is the time to build your dream deck!  Spend some time this summer with BBQs, pool parties, or just livin' easy out on the deck.  Here are some ideas on how to get decked out this summer. Enjoy!



 Enjoy the view without anything blocking it! Except glass, of course... just remember it's there.

   Try to focus on the deck here, people! This view is breathtaking, complimented by a cozy and nearly camouflaged deck designed for optimal comfort.

 
 This deck is sleek and sexy- perfect for the sunbathers!

 This deck is incredibly spacious! I love the checker-patterned wood floor. Also, this home has a sun room: great for admiring the outdoors while still inside.

 Step out on the deck and into the pool! This modern deck flows so well and the Palm Tree Island is a perfect touch.

 Many levels, many opportunities! Instead of having one floor, this multi-level deck subtly designates areas for different activities.

 Decked out on the water! I've always wanted my own island... ;)
