Here are some exteriors that I thought were so pretty:

And here are some great pantry ideas. You know I love a good pantry!

This one looked like it was part of the cabinets but then

push open the door,

to this gorgeous light-filled pantry!

I loved this sliding barn door to the mudroom with a chalkboard. I also want to come to dinner at this house.

I loved the idea of lazy susans in the corners!

Here is another pantry combined wood with white and used drawers and bins for organization:

It also had open shelves, the microwave and a warmer:

This one was very clever as well.  See the pantry doors on both sides of the cooking area?

Here is the design on both of the cool swinging doors:

That opened to the pantry and notice the little grocery door to the garage for easy unloading from the car:

and turned into a long pantry that also had shelves, a bright white work area, a window, and a fridge and then you could exit out the other swinging door:

And a few more random ideas:

-cutest firepit ever – red is my favorite to use outdoors:

A blush pink dutch door to a walk-in closet??? ♥

I liked this family room set up with the fireplace, windows, and built-ins

And such a fun play area under the stairs with the faux printed brick, window, and light.
