How sweet is this home? I love how the cedar porch accents soft blue/gray exterior color and the little shrubs add such a cute touch. It just looks so inviting.
The refurbished hardwood floors are the main attraction when you walk in. What a beautiful update! I almost want to see a form of that blue/gray color on the walls. The outside of the home makes it almost seem like the house ...
The exterior of this home received the royal treatment! I love the cedar accents and the addition of rock.
Here's another view of the porch and cedar accents. This area is very spacious and would be the perfect spot to add some seating and plants to create a welcoming entry.
Walking into the house presents you with a gorgeous fireplace and french doors along with ...

How pretty is the façade of this home? It looks like something out of a movie, doesn’t it? The porch, the landscaping, the colors… I love it all!
I’ll do my best to avoid “photo overload” but this home is so unique! It took me a minute to figure out where this room is located, but it’s a mudroom right off the kitchen. At first I thought it might ...
It's always fun to view homes that inspire you- this house is one of them. Enjoy the view!
Clean, gray walls, simple accents and beautifully decorated.

Welcome back to Home of the Week! This classic American Style house features beautiful, large rooms, an open floor plan and high ceilings. You don't want to miss it!
I love how the zebra print rug stands out against all the oak in this entryway. It jazzes up the space without becoming too overwhelming. Such a fun touch!
The entryway opens up to the large kitchen and ...
Welcome back to Home of the Week! This exterior doesn't scream "overly colorful facade" but it's all in the details. This isn't a shade I've seen often in houses and the brick detailing adds an additional unique diminsion. Pair that with the colors in the landscaping and you have yourself the perfect pops of color. Well executed and well maintained!
...
Take a look at this gorgeous home! Between the brick, iron fencing and sky high entryway- I'm in love! Let's take a peek inside.
The vast entryway gives a view of the entire beautiful home. The muted colors used throughout keep it soft and cozy feeling.
This area shows the living room looking back towards the entryway. All that natural light make ...
The first thing you'll notice when you see the inside of this house is all the natural light. There are windows everywhere and the whole environment feels bright and cheery.
Let start with the outside! There is some great landscaping going on out front which always creates a welcoming entrance. I can't say that I'm in love with the green accents, but I'm more ...
Welcome back to "Home of the Week"!
The grass is green, the plants are growing and this front porch is waiting for someone to grab some sweet tea (my beverage of choice... what can I say, I like to pretend I'm Southern.) and relax.
I like the brighter color of this front (and side) door paired with the neutral siding. It ...
Prepare yourself for a mass amount of photos. This home was perfectly updated in my opinion.
For starters- take a look at this cheery exterior color! I love the wooden stairs that were paired to make a statement to the entryway. They easily could have made them white to match the trim of the home, but chose to make a focal point instead. Well done!
As soon as you walk ...
Every now and then I like to showcase houses that don't really need a lot of "fixing-up", they're just fun to look at. This is one of those homes.
Look at the front entrance! This is what movies are made of. From the stone facade and shutters to the navy front door this home has all the right touches.
As soon as you step in you're ...
I can already picture green grass and landscaping outside this beautiful new construction home! Let's take a peak inside at all the progress:
As soon as you walk into the home you're immediately greeted by a bright and welcoming atmosphere. I love everything about this airy setup. The wall color is that great shade of green/blue/gray that I often reference and the ceiling ...
Alright "Vaulted Doll House" might be a stretch for this week's "Home of the Week" name but once you see inside you might agree with me. The vaulted ceiling and unique floorpan really made me think of a doll house- in a good way! The whole home is completed with a perfect deck to relax on. Let's tour this home!
We are currently looking at ...
I love a good sunset photoshoot! It makes the home seem so inviting- and that sunset is beautiful!!
As soon as you walk in you can see the house boasts an open concept. I like that the light wall color keeps the space bright but I may go for a different hue just to keep things from blending in together too much. For example: the carpet and the walls are basically the same ...
Some houses are just fun to gawk at- this is one of them!
The outdoor lighting, landscaping and rock accents all add to the dreamy look of this home.
A fun rug and a unique couch greet you as you walk in the door. Did you notice that chandelier? I love the dark metal chosen- it perfectly compliments the dark accents found throughout the rest of the house!
Another fun ...
I'm always talking about adding some seating to the front porch and this home has done just that! Despite the wintery landscape, you can tell how welcoming this entrance is.
Here is another quick view of the front entrance. I love the retaining wall that was added for a few plants. Anytime I can bring in some extra green or color to the front of the house, I do. Once spring ...
This modern ranch-style house is a neat one to tour. The dark accents added to the house compliment the tone of the bricks well.
Walking in the large front door you can see that there are a few steps up so it's not quite a split-level but also not a true-ranch style house. Either way this grand entryway is the perfect space to greet your guests. I keep picturing a large ...
Here is a quick peek into a new construction home! As you can see from the outside, the landscaping is already underway. There's something "home-y" about having landscaping around the house. The entryway has plenty of room to add some potted plants, a porch swing, or a bench. What would you do to personalize this space?
I love a nice entryway into a home. It's ...

Upon entering the home you'll find a sweet sitting room that has been expertly designed. You can peek ...

Talk about an entrance!
The kitchen boasts gorgeous colors and recess lighting along with a large kitchen island and walk-in pantry. It's bright, it's cozy... and I dream of walking into it ...

The “Barndominium” = a totally new concept. From the outside it looks like your average Morton Building but the inside may surprise you. The “Barndominium” is a new craze that may or may not have crossed your Facebook and Pinterest feeds. The outside is simple and the inside is where all the excitement lies. Let’s take a look inside!
Who would ...
I’m back! Hello, Home of the Week!
The exterior of this Cedar Rapids home has that “Americana” feel, doesn’t it? All it needs is a big front porch and some pillars and the ‘American Dream” is right there in front of you. The stone detail on the bottom half compliments the siding on the upper half of the home. I would almost like to see the same black shutters ...
Hello, again! I feel like our new blog trend usually includes the keyword “modern” somewhere in the description. There must be something about these homes that beg me to blog about them. Either way, welcome to our Home of the Week!
As we tour this home you’ll get a feel for the 1960’s layout but something that stands out is how well the owners incorporated a modern ...
Welcome, summertime! This week we’re featuring a CBH staff landscaping renovation! I love before-and-after shots. Not only does it give viewers inspiration, but it also shows what a little updating can do to the entire feel of a space.
Ferns in hanging baskets were added to give the space a more “airy” feel. The addition softens up the space and gives a welcoming feel. ...
