Pinterest Inspiration #7

Hello, how's your Thursday? I feel like I'm running late all week. Next week I'm home with my kidlets for spring break, and I can't wait. I'm hoping to catch up on some work at home, paint up a few more pieces and get organized on my blog. This week I was inspired by lighting, partially because we are replacing the one in my dining room. These were my favorites from Pinterest.

I pinned this, but couldn't find the original source :( Sorry. The picture is pretty straight forward. I'm thinking this would be a great idea for my front sitting room, in front of the window. Energy efficient, and no cords needed.

 

I think this is the lamp that inspired me most this week! Check out Kelly @ the lilypad cottage. She has beautiful pieces.

Nothing like old bucket lighting. I think I may have another project for my hubby. (I couldn't find the original source for this)

How cool is this one? The lady who created this closed her blog....boo. It looks easy enough to make.

Wish I had these. Uploaded by organizeyourstuffnow. I'm sure these were costly, but could totally be recreated on a budget.

Lastly, this brute off of Haute Look. Missed that deal. I love that site!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my light inspiration. Can't wait to share our finished redo for my dining room light. Its been 2 months in the making. Thanks for stopping by and take care.

 

 

 

Pinterest Inspiration #6

Hello. It's Thursday, it's almost the weekend {in my cracked singing voice}. I love my job, but I live to sleep in on the weekend. I have quite a few projects I want to tackle this weekend and wrap up. I've kinda took over my husbands Man Cave Garage, and facing eviction again. That means time to work these painting hands and get some projects moving. 

My second goal this weekend is to do some marathon Pinning. My GF at work is beating me by 800, and she doesn't even try. Granted she Pins mostly food and crafts, and I have a much narrower window for my taste. So while she is in Hawaii for 2 weeks, I want to surprise her and catch up!! LOL. Keeping in mind that I still want wholesome Pins. My work is laid out. If I Pin while paint dries and every other moment I have, I just might pass her!

Here are my favorite Pins this week! Some reflect upcoming projects.

1. How easy would this be to make from plant holders. A little paint and patina?

2. You must check out this post by saved by love creations. I have a few yardsticks in the garage. I'm thinking the lamp shade first. Which one would you try?

3. I wish I could find one of these for my front sitting room.

4. I would really like to make this mug for work! I'm always trotting around with a coffee in the morning. Way too cute. 

5. My new drink for Spring. I'll let you know how it tastes. Doesn't that look like a treat for you mouth.

Lastly, how I want my spring wardrobe to look! Totally fab for warm weather.

Pinterest Inspiration #5

Hello Thursday. This is one of my favorite days, as I get to share my inspiration Pins from Pinterest. If you read my blog, you would know that I'm praying for Spring. It has been cold and snowing here for ever! True story. I just want the sun to shine and the days to get longer.

In the spirit of Spring, I've been Pinning Easter color projects. Long gone are the dark rich colors of winter. The color palette for spring is bright and warm.

I heart this! I would consider this waterfall dresser by Lisa @ createinspireme, to be one of my fav Pins thus far this year.

I also came across these brightly painted storage boxes. They look to be done in chalk paint and finished with dark wax. Its like cupcake sprinkle colors on decor.

What about this vintage farmhouse table from  rachel ashwell shabby chic couture. Melts this winter heart.

Lastly you have to see this frame. It took 2 years of building from cardboard, by nymag.

Such phenomenal pieces of work. I love soaking in the colors and textures. I hope I have inspired you.

3. I will be recreating this from michaela noelle designs.

4. I never would have thought to do chalk board chevron. Thanks in my own style.

5. I love the mix of modern and vintage. kfd designs nailed this.

Have I inspired you to paint chevron stripes?

Thanks for stopping in, and take care.

Inspiration Thursday #1

Alright, I'm going to try something new. I'm going to start sharing my favorite pins every week. I tell ya, if I spent a quarter of the time blogging, that I spend on Pinterest.....I'd be a great blogger. But I feel lazy sometimes and just plain tired after work and kids, that I find it hard to sit down and work some more. For me it comes in streaks, inspiration must hit. 

Some of my favorite pins this week include

I am lovin this lamp. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I came across her blog, selah joy company. Checkout her home tour. I was drooling and pinning like crazy. 

Next

Nothing gets my country girl more excited than some rust and chippy paint. There are too many good things going on in this picture for me to start. This came from Laura at 52 flea. 

Lastly, This diagonal feature wall. I have a similar wall space in my bedroom, minus the side windows. I think this would look perfect!

Here's a little inspiration from my Pinterest page. You can follow me at here.

Thank you and take care.

I {heart} dark wood

After years of moving, I have finally decided to make my home, MY home. I've always avoided decorating. I would even go as far to say, "I don't have an eye for decor". It does NOT come natural for me. Sometimes I search Pinterest for hours, just for a little inspiration. I admire the colors people pick to do their pieces. I always wonder....how did they know those two colors would look so well together? {maybe they used Pinterest too}

SO I bought a curio last week. It was a good price at my local thrift store. I manned the piece into the truck, tied it down with bungees, watched it in the rear view mirror on my way home, and unloaded it into my front entrance. Knowing that when my hubby came home he would take a double look and shake his head. You see, I have a collection of unpainted things in our basement. Instead of working on an item I already own, I go and buy more. I think I enjoy the thrill of finding a good deal. Or am I afraid of missing that one unique item? Regardless. I have one more piece of furniture now.

What to do with it? I've been creeping on a ton of blogs lately, trying to narrow down the look I want for my house. I like rustic, industrial, chic, crisp and dark wood. Sunday when I came back from grocery shopping, I found it tucked in a corner by our entrance. It fit perfect in the corner! Hubby claimed it for our house. Yay!! {good thinking}

This is what I have found for my inspiration from missmustardseed. 

I'm thinking, the dark wood color for the shelves and inside. Then Ironstone for the rest. I {heart} 2 tone pieces, especially when one is wood color.

I have started tonight, and will post the finished product soon.

Take care.
