French Door Inspirations

As I mentioned last week in our home is undergoing some

floor plan changes

, one of those changing is adding french doors to our bedroom. French doors, where always on my wish list, so its still surreal to know we are getting the. I'm really excited about this change and have been pinning pretty french door bedroom ideas for months. In our bedroom our french doors will be apart of our new bathroom and closet addition, between the two areas to be exact. I'll share the layout for new bedroom layout soon. 

Here's some french doors in bedrooms that are fabulous

. This bedroom is a show stopped, I adore everything in this room.

Loving these floor to ceiling floral drapes, looking forward to finding the perfect fabric to sew into drapes.

I love this room too! Oversized light fixture, layers of neutrals with lots of patterns.

In addition to looking at inside french door inspiration, I've also gathered inspiration for how I want our french doors to look in our backyard. My plan is to have them open to our backyard and step down to a small patio (maybe concrete with brick? or paver patio?) that will lead to our bigger patio. The patio addition is something we might add after the house is complete. I love the inspiration picture below, and can see the image coming to life in our backyard maybe this summer. 

I can't wait to see how our french doors in our bedroom turn out, again I'll share our new bedroom layout soon. What's an item on your bedroom wish list? 

Our Home: Framed Window Progress

Every Friday I plan on sharing updates on our home rebuild progress, some of these posts will be exciting some mundane. Regardless, I'm happy use my blog as a journal in our adventures of re-building our beloved 1956 rancher. Quick reminder

last week

construction began on our home, removing the garage and starting the the framing for our Garage expansion and house addition. Read more about our floor plan changes

. So far this week, most of our new windows in our house have been framed. Which is a such a good feeling, heck seeing any change to our home is a good feeling, lol. Friday they'll be pouring cement for our garage floor and and addition. 

This is the current view of Avery's new twin windows. We decided to replace the sliding glass door with a pair of windows. I was never thrilled about the idea of sliding glass doors in his room, so this change is a good thing. I think these windows will provide so much natural light, one thing I did like about the sliding glass door. I can already picture roman shades on his windows and even see him standing at the window looking out side. 

Another view of the windows, looking towards closet area. 

Here's the frame for our new bedroom window, the old window on the left will be going soon. The window will be replaced by our master bedroom expansion of a walk in closet, bathroom & french doors. If you noticed our new window is taller than the old its bringing the house up to current code.  

The window below belongs to Tabari's bedroom, we've decided to make his window smaller and have it match our window size. We fill the 6ft window in a such a small room over powers the space. Again his window is also taller than it once was due to code. 

For the time being almost all of our house is temporarily 'wrapped' in plywood to protect it from the elements. Looking forward to our new house siding, then it will start looking more like a house. That's it for this weeks blog worthy progress, I sparred you all the plumbing pictures, and new sewer clean-out pictures although I'm happy about those too :) Hey it all adds up right?
