When I started our new series “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” back in August I never thought it would become this popular — thank you so much for always sharing the pictures you see here with your followers! I have always been aware that you all loved seeing the homes I share, but seeing these homes I find on Instagram has awaken our curiosity and our willingness to learn more about how these talented people are building and decorating their own home.
Today, we’re seeing Ashley’s, from @curlsandcashmere, home. Her home is a dream come true and here she tells us why…
“My husband and I had been dreaming of moving a little further out of town with a large lot for our 3 children to have lots of room to play and explore. We loved our school system that we were in, so I told him he could start looking for land as long as we were still in the same district and not too far out of town. A busy mom like me needs to be close to Super Target and Starbucks! He worked very hard until we found the perfect piece of land, just a few miles from where our existing home was. It is our little piece of heaven that occupies almost 8 acres. It is heavily wooded, and overflowing with wildlife and trees. My husband does commercial real estate by trade, but had also built our previous 2 homes prior to this one. We both have a very close eye for detail and knew we wanted to control the building process ourselves, as this may likely be our forever home or at least our home for a very long time. So we began dreaming and designing the home in our heads and once we had a general idea of the floorplan and overall aesthetic of the home, we brought in designer Laura Panokinen of The Pankonien Group based out of Austin, TX to help bring our vision to life. It was a very collaborative process and we had a wonderful experience working with her. After almost 10 months of construction, our dream home was complete. It was a very hectic time in our lives as we already had 2 small kids, 4 yrs old and 1 yr old at the time we began building and… Surprise…we would also be having a third child all while selling our existing home, building a new one and moving. We moved in 2 days before Christmas of 2014. I look back and wonder how we got through it, but it was all worth it and we are so in love with the house and how it turned out”.

Design
Kitchen: “We spent lots of time getting this right in terms of layout and design. Our last home had one large great room with the living, dining and kitchen all in one space. I didn’t want this home to be as open, so we made the kitchen and dining in this space and made the kitchen very roomy and spacious. The countertops were very important to me and I knew I could not handle the staining and spotting that comes along with marble. So we went with quartzite. It is a natural stone with the durability of granite but the look of marble. That was my splurge for this space and I am in love with them”.

Hall
“This is more than just a hallway, this was done on purpose to accentuate the 3 pane sliding glass doors we had installed. The slider opens up to one pane, so it is almost like the outdoor living becomes indoors and vice versa. Now, we do live in Oklahoma, so during the summer months between the heat and bugs, it’s not used as much as we would like. Fall is the perfect time for it to be open and the kids run in and out. We also use this as extra space for tables and chairs when hosting a large get together”.

“If I had to choose a favorite room in our home, this is probably it. I was so into the shiplap look and it was starting to become more and more popular. We decided to put it on the ceilings and vault the ceiling for a show stopping statement when you walk into the room. The freestanding tub is like art and the pendant above it is truly beautiful in person. All white makes it so light and airy.

Playroom
Since we have 2 girls and 1 boy, we needed to make this space fun and playful, all while staying gender neutral. I loved the graphic black and white roman shades we had made from our old home so much, I moved them to their playroom and that is where the color scheme began. Black and white, and then with the colorful fun art and the colorful toys, it turned out well. Also
had pocked doors made so I can slide them closed at anytime to hide the mess!
