What are your thoughts on Pinterest? Are you there?

Living Room Progress~

Funny thing, this.  My living room wasn't one of my first decorating priorities when we moved into this house.  It probably should have been because it is the first thing you see upon entering.  But since I thought it was going to be the most expensive room to put together, it went on the back burner. 

But then after finally figuring out the right furniture arrangement for the space, and having a few other serendipitous things happen to give us some FREE supplies, the Living Room is actually coming together.  Last week, the Hubby painted one wall this FABULOUS deep gray, Magnetite by Martha Stewart.

Bless his heart, that Hubby.  The walls on the main floor are close to 10 feet in height.  So much easier for my big, hunk-o-man to paint than for me.  The wall is absolutely beautiful.  So sophisticated.  It's going to make the perfect backdrop for a gallery wall.  (We even had our family portraits done this weekend for just that purpose.  I'm so excited! I'll give you a little sneaky peek later this week.)
 

And since I have gallery walls on the brain, today I thought I'd share with you a few pieces of gallery wall eye candy that I've been collecting on Pinterest.  Oh yes!  Love that Pinterest!!

I'm leaning towards doing a wall with all white frames.  I think they'll really POP against that beautiful gray.  Hopefully, I'll have the whole living room finished in the next couple of weeks.  I can't wait to share it with you all!

Have a lovely Monday~

Do You Pinterest?

I have recently discovered the addiction that is Pinterest.

Okay, let's be honest, I jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon a while back when it was first getting popular.  But my account sat there.  And sat there.  And sat there.  Until one day I actually pinned something.  Wow! 

And that's how it all began.  I love Pinterest.  My boards are still pretty empty, but they are filling up fast.  And you know what I love?  The links to the photos, stay with the photos.  Hurray!  I can remember where I found each one in the first place!  LOVE THAT! 

Let's look at a few of  my pins, shall we?


There's decor (OF COURSE!)...

And a bit of Fashion...

And some darling entertaining ideas...

Just lovin' this site!  Do you Pinterest?

Happy Pinning!

Inspired by Pinterest

 

I recently discovered a website that provides amazing inspiration.

Pinterest is a site that allows you to 'pin' any picture on the net, and place it in your own special collection. You can even pin other's pin choices to your own.

The neat thing is, not only are all of one's pins shared with others, the photos all link back to the originator.

I had trouble signing in, so I'll try and mess with it another day.  Hence, not all the pics will be linked back to their originators this round. However all these photos did come from Pinterest.

Enjoy my own personal tour of what made me go WOW.

While this isn't a real bike, I could see plant madness on a vintage special.

These remind me of soap bubbles. How could you not smile?

The pastels remind me of an icecream store. Isn't this pretty?

Now this is one unique wall collection!

 Great wall and desk! Wonderful texture.

Adorable dollhouse shelving.

What a great drafting table.. AND stool.

Check out this fabulous kitchen island.

Eclectic lights, random chairs, tons of texture, what's not to love? The vaulted ceiling makes this space extra special.

Crate drawers!

Simple yet effective shoe storage.

The dark wall is so striking against the whites.

Tea tins for plants! Sweet!

Love the chalkboard and the sliding door.

Pinterest. Fair warning.. it's addicting. :)

UPDATE: No idea how I got it to work, but I did! I can't wait to add more more more! Can't wait to start pinning from SNS parties. :)

My so far small but inspiring board is HERE

So... once you join up, jump on back here and tell us about your new addiction. I see MANY of you on there pinning like mad! :)
