Weekend drives in beautiful neighborhoods ogling all of the gorgeous home exteriors is totally my thing! I'm not sure building my own home is ever going to happen but I've got 101 ideas running around in my head if it does. Today on the blog I'm sharing six simple exterior home design and color ideas that would be perfect for a new build or exterior home remodel along with an online tool that can show you how those ideas might look on your own home!

The idea of sticking with one color for a home's exterior but mixing it up with different profiles (in this case, shingled siding on the second story and plank siding on the first) is one of my simple favorites. And the detailing in the peaks is perfect too!

My favorite basket (I have three of them!) is on sale and ships free with code FREESHIP! I use one to hold throws, another as the pot for my faux fiddle leaf fig tree, and a third to hold some logs next to our fireplace. They add so much to every room you use them in!

I use this beautiful set of bells on my door every Christmas and they always increase the price on them close to the holidays so now's the time to snag them at under $25! In the off season, they're beautiful accessories for decorating shelves!

I just bought these shorts that are a steal (they're on sale plus an additional 40% off) - they're the perfect length and the comfiest shorts I own! Love this shirt too!

I've been looking for a while for a cute recipe box (yes, I still use my recipe cards instead of having them stored online!) that I can sit out in my kitchen. I bought this one and love it - you'll see it in my kitchen remodel reveal!

Thanks for stopping by everyone! My next post is going to be my kitchen reveal - stay tuned because I'm crazy excited to share it with you!!

XOXO,
