I haven’t talked about our building process for several weeks now, but mainly because it’s been no news or rather disheartening news. On Friday I dug a hole in the rain to discover that a utility line we were told was a temporary phone line that could be abandoned was actually a working cable line that was marked improperly. Back to the easement drawing board.
Between all of the home issues and a busy month, I’d taken a break from house planning, but I’m ready to get back at it. It’s what will keep me hopeful and motivated. Probably the space I’m most excited about is the study. With great light for photography and lots of storage, it will be the perfect space for me to create.
We plan to do floor to ceiling built-ins along the two interior walls with cabinets on bottom to store fabric and supplies and shelving on top to display books and pretty things. I want the room to be a place I can make a mess and simply close the doors at the chance of unsuspected visitors, but also be elegant enough for entertaining.
The bones of the house will all lean very traditional, but my love of color and more modern pieces will come out in the furnishings. The study will boast classic built-ins and crown molding, allowing me to take some risks with clean and colorful furniture and accessories.

I was eclectic/global:) Not a surprise, but also fun to be placed where I thought I was! Sometimes having such eclectic taste I wonder if I just can't settle on one style, so it is nice to be reassured that I'm not just crazy. 😛

I can totally relate! I'm glad to know it was accurate for you too. 🙂

My design style is Eclectic, Mid Century Modern. It must be a pretty good quiz – because I totally agree. Love your study design boards – and I'm so jealous of all the built-ins you will have! I am dying over that last inspiration board: love the strong color combo of yellow, purple, and turquoise!

Thanks, Rachel! The built-ins probably won't come right away, as they're obviously not cheap, but I'm hoping we can get them up not too long after the house is finished. I think the last one is my favorite too. 🙂
