Bringing Your Pinterest Board to Life
In custom home building, there is no better place to collect inspiration for your future home than Pinterest. This platform gives you the opportunity to search and browse through images and products. What some people may not realize is that we can literally bring your Pinterest board to life during the home building process! Pinterest is one of the most beneficial platforms to use when dreaming up your future home. From idea conception to final product, we work with our trade partners to find and use the products from the inspiration you’ve gathered on your Pinterest boards and replicate them in your dream home.
Follow along as we show you how a recent client leveraged her Pinterest profile to bring her modern farmhouse dreams to life!
Pinterest Inspiration VS. Final Product
Pinterest: Exterior
Final Product: Exterior
For the exterior of this home, our clients used the picture on the left for inspiration on what they were wanting. A white exterior with board and batten siding, cedar posts, and shed roof accents above black vinyl windows. We worked with our trade partners to find the exact materials to incorporate!
Pinterest Inspiration: Kitchen
Final Product: Kitchen
Our client’s inspiration for the kitchen included white shaker cabinets to the ceiling, white subway tile used for the backsplash, a hood cover with a wooden accent, floating shelves, and oil rubbed bronze hardware. Our client chose to paint the island black to create a pop of color and asked us to replicate the dog feeding station they found on Pinterest! They were able to find pictures of light fixtures they liked and showed them to the team at Fort Worth Lighting to find the pendants hanging above the island. We were also able to recreate the hidden storage room they found on Pinterest by creating a custom pantry disguised as cabinets.
Pinterest Inspiration: Bathroom
Final Product: Bathroom
On of the best comparisons in the entire house is this master bathroom. After looking through their Pinterest Board for inspiration, we knew we needed a frameless shower door, subway tile, and a pop of color on the floor. We installed a freestanding tub and incorporated wood for the surround instead of tile and hung a chandelier above the tub. For the vanities, our client’s selected a quartz countertop with oil rubbed bronze hardware, and a shiplap accent wall, and we were able to find the exact mirror used in the picture from Pinterest!
Pinterest Inspiration: Living Room
Final Product: Living Room
Our client’s inspiration for their living room consisted of large windows to let in natural light, custom built-ins framing their fireplace and wooden accents with lots of beams.
Pinterest Inspiration: Laundry/Mud Room
Final Product: Laundry/Mud Room
For the laundry room, we were able to use their Pinterest pictures to give us a direct vision of what they were wanting. We built a mud bench that gives the family a place to put their shoes and hang their jackets when they get home. Additionally, we installed a custom frosted door for the laundry room and used the patterned tile from their inspiration!
Working with a fully custom builder means you get to pick anything and everything that goes into your home.
