new home inspiration

We're moving! 

Not far though....about a 10 minute drive from where we currently live.  I had you fooled there, didn't I?!

Basically just to a new neighborhood.  Our current home is being knocked down to make way for fancy townhouses.  Oh, Vancouver! How you never surprise me!

Don't worry though, it wasn't a surprise.  We knew the time was coming for a little while, but now in just 13 days it'll be just me, the Bf, and Kea.  We've lived with a roommate (who is fab! and I'll miss seeing daily!), but I'm excited for it to be just the two of us for the first time.  A new first in our relationship.  We haven't had too many of those, considering we've been together for four years.  

With all of this being said, I've obviously had home decor and colour schemes on my mind.  I've been looking all over Pinterest, blogs, and magazines for inspiration.  One thing in particular, a blank slate of a wall.  I'd like to do something to it, a bright colour, stenciling, wallpaper/wall decals, the possibilities are endless! 

Here are a few ideas from around the web and I added in my ideal colour scheme!

*Update: The Bf has noticed a few themes amongst my inspiration....Graphic prints in black and white, warm colours, and well, the fact that I have chosen too many themes..... we'll see what actually happens.... ;)
