Casa de Stack: Vision Board

So we are finally to the fun part- the design aspect of home building!!

I was made for this!

I have a pretty clear vision of what I like, but now I have to see what is offered (and what is in budget!!!!!)  and make decisions from there. 

My current home is 100% cool tones. I love love love cool tones. 

I would say my house is 50 shades of grey but I never read that book and have no clue if that is a good or a bad thing! Lol! 

So here is a peek into my design mind. 

I like things that are unique- one of a kind. 

I have a weird aversion to anything mass produced. 

I like industrial yet elegant. 

Everywhere Mitch and I have travelled we have collected a piece for our home. 

So our home tells the story of our marriage and our life together. 

For example, we have a huge map from Hawaii- it's from Pearl Harbor- my grandfather was based in Hawaii after the Japanese attacked the US so it's very personal to us and our story.

Then we have pieces from the Guggenheim in New York, a carved wooden Bear from Ruidoso, gorgeous vintage pieces from Paris, France + Rome Italy, an arrow from Santa Fe, a picture of The Santa Rita No.1 (an oil rig where my dad took his class picture from UT), colorful dishes from Mexico,   and so on. 

We also love anything vintage (like my cool orange couches upstairs). 

To say my home is cohesive would be a lie, but it is very eclectic and very personal to the people that live in it. 

Nothing matches and I like that. 

Here are a few ideas (without giving everything away) on my inspiration board for our new home!!!

This is the overall feel I am shooting for!
My home colors will be grey (duh), navy and green!
I love linen, leather, tufting, studs and cool shapes (note the light fixture). 

This is the color scheme in my current home and I love it so I think we will keep the same colors! 

These are super similar to the floor I had installed into our current home.
I loved them but they did make my home look small- I am contemplating going a little lighter to open the room up!
But will stick to the same width and hand scraped! 

I installed black and white floor upstairs at our current home and would LOVE to incorporate it again in our new home!
So classic, elegant and timeless! 

We have very similar chairs in our kitchen and I love the look of this farm house table!
(Actually I love the look of just about anything 'farmhouse')

Subway tile, subway tile, subway tile.... everywhere!
& white cabinets! 

We're on the hunt for a china cabinet and I LOVE interesting curtains! They add such a great dimension to any room! 

I love interesting/ personal art.
Anything that speaks PERSONALLY to you!
This is so neat, it's a page blow up from a book!
What a great idea! 

If any of you interior design guru's have suggestions please send them our way!!!
We can use all the expertise we can get!
I remember one of my very first boss's James Van Stavern (and master interior designer) telling me, "There is more than 1 way to skin a cat" and that is what I am sticking to! There is NO right way! Design (as well as fashion) is all subjective!
Hope you enjoyed a peek into our vision board for our new home!
