Five on Friday | Blog Inspiration

*All images in this post belong to the linked blog above each individual picture. 

Happy Friday, y’all! It’s been a long, long week over at the Sloans with a lot of late nights. We had great momentum coming off of our weekend tearing out the kitchen and then we had to go back to work. Every evening, we’ve been coming home and painting the beams and ceiling. It wouldn’t be as hard if we didn’t have cathedral ceilings but it’s made for a very tedious process. Hopefully, we’ll finish up tonight because we’ve got a weekend full of non-kitchen reno activities before the floor guys start on Monday!

Since all we did this week was go to work and paint, I thought I would share with you where I draw some of my inspiration for all my home projects. The first couple blogs that I ever followed were DIY/Home bloggers and I fell in love with the idea of renovating a home and making it your own. Little did I know, I would be doing the same thing a few short years later! While I love a good fashion post and makeup tutorials, DIY/Home decor are my absolute favorite blogs to follow. Here are just a few of my favorites…

ONE | Young House Love

Young House Love was the first blog I started follow. At the time, they were renovating their kitchen and I was completely convinced that if they could tackle a project like that, so could Cory and I. This lead to a spur of the moment bathroom renovation the first year we were married and what Cory and I joke about as the best marriage counseling we could have ever been through. It’s a hilarious story- I’ll make sure to share it some day. Unfortunately, they aren’t blogging anymore but all of their projects are still on their website.

TWO | Shanty 2 Chic

After a weekend bathroom renovation turned into a two week ordeal, I decided to start reading up on some “smaller” DIY projects. Stumbling upon Shanty 2 Chic was a blessing and a curse because they have so many wonderful projects that I wanted to do. At one point, Cory actually made fun of me for talking about this blog all the time but I really learned a lot from their tutorials.

THREE | House of Rose

House of Rose was the first blog that I stalked went back and read from the beginning, after stumbling upon her home tour on Pinterest. Mandy’s step by step on how to start a blog really gave me the confidence to step out on my own and start this little adventure.  Along with having a father who builds almost anything she can think of, she is an encourager and loves Jesus…my kinda gal!

FOUR | Two Twenty One

Her home office reeled me in but everything she post is good as gold. She has excellent tutorials {I used one to make my curtains} and posts about a little bit of everything. Not to mention, her Pinterest just makes me swoon… so bright and organized!

FIVE | Just a Girl and Her Blog 

Abby is my latest blog crush and I simply adore her blog. Not only does she share some killer DIY’s, she shares about living debt free and even has an eBook on how to grow your blog. Seriously, she does it all!

If your looking for some inspiration, head on over and check these ladies out. But be prepared to get sucked in to all their tutorials…I promise you’ll have a project list as long as mine! And in case you missed any of my recent projects, check them out here.
