Dream Home

TODAYS INSPIRATION | My Dream Home. It’s not too early to plan my future right? I didn’t think so! I lately have been obsessed with Interior Design. Thats all I pin these days. I’m trying to pin-point my decorating style for my future house. I went through an intense white-cottage-chic stage last summer and I decided to redecorate my BEDROOM with soft pink cottons, white frames, and diamond candle holders. It’s so relaxing. Here was my Inspiration…

Love it! Well now I am in a different stage in my decorating; warm colors, pop of pattern, and a lick of color. Here is what I want my dream Home to look like!

LIVING ROOM – Chandelier, warm walls, light furniture, pop of color, golds, silver, porcelain decor, lots of light, and fresh flowers! OH and the amazing orange deer head! Always wanted an orange deer head… I dont know why?!

BEDROOM – I’m obsessed with the gold foot stools, sea-foam walls, white linen, copper headboard, and gold sunburst above bed! Yessssss!

LAUNDRY ROOM – Turquoise walls and chandelier. pinch me please!

KITCHEN – This was a hard one for me to pinpoint the perfect picture. I love the white cabinets, fresh flowers, softness, and friendly feeling! I would put some really nice tall wood chairs. But I love the art on the walls and the color.

OFFICE – As a Graphic Designer I enjoy color and playfulness. It gets my creative juices going! I love everything about this room, especially the bird sitting next to the window! The pink chair, the colorful books in the white case, yellow chandelier and lighting fixture, and gorgeous green table!

SPARE BEDROOM – Love the stripes, yellow, browns, and greys.

KIDS ROOMS :)

BATHROOM – Grey and Pink + Chandelier

BACKYARD – So romantic I know!

OK so you see now What dilemma I’m in! All the room’s are so completely different! I need to figure out what I want! I think I will just decorate each room to how I am feeling that day. Thats what I do with my style in the mornings when I am choosing what to wear. Today I feel comfortable. Tomorrow I may feel sassy!

TODAYS INSPIRATION | Pinterest. Still not a word in the dictionary, but give it time, and it will be. Ask anyone what they did today, and most likely they will say they “pinned”. As part of my unique and quirky personality I like to receive credit for anything and everything great! So for example, I believe that I was one of the first to start pinning back in the spring of 2011! I feel like before it really caught on like wildfire I got all my friends hooked! haha! Giving credit to me is ridiculous and not right AT ALL, but I still jokingly do it!

So when did PINTEREST get so popular? From research, Pinterest went live December of 2009, but started getting a lot of hits March of 2010. What’s great about the system they designed is it’s invitation only. So they fact that you have to wait a couple days before receiving the wonderful green light, you were going crazy! 2011 was Pinterest’s big year and stats have been rising like since. On August 16th, Time Magazine published Pinterest in its 50 Best Websites of 2011! Hooray for Pinning!

What are the STATS of PINTEREST today? 

With Facebook still a home run and StumbleUpon picking up steam, Pinterest continues to raise in immense traffic, heading Youtube, Google+, and Linkedin combined!

429%? 429%? 429%!!!!!!! Now thats a business I want stock in!

I love pinning. I do it almost everyday! It is an addiction that I can’t get away from. Sure its not harmful, but it is time consuming and somewhat distracting. Maybe thats what makes it so popular? For example, I don’t see how spending hours on facebook has benefited me in anyway, except to take a break from the stressful life I lead at times. For that I am grateful. Thank you Pinterest for doing the same. You have saved my sanity and kept me artistically stimulated all hours of the day!
