I have been sucked in...

dang that Pinterest....have not exactly got it all figured out but right now my fingers are itching to go check out people's boards and surfing the web for things I can pin...WATCH OUT :)

My recent interest of jumping in to figure it out is too get ideas for unique furniture pieces and a color scheme for our master bedroom. I honestly have no idea where to start, so I am just going to go through picture after picture to find things that inspire me.

I do have the idea of making it a big DIY project...I really like the idea of finding pieces that I can refinish...and wall decor that I take something old and turn it into something new. We will see...I will be spending my days off at Goodwill and local thrift stores...I will take you guys on my journey :)

Well, off I go to research beautiful bedrooms :)

A Bland Welcome....

This is what greets you as you walk into my home...





blahness (pretty sure I made that up...), boredom, blankness

It is in need of a serious makeover...or just some sort of design in general. However...I keep backing off from the purchase of anything because I need to make sure functionality and design (& budget) meet. With 4 kiddos, we always have bags for all the kids just sitting by the hall closet. I want to find a "home" for all our gear.

So after looking through lots and lots of pics...I came to the conclusion that I would love to re-create the Pottery Barn look....


Love how the baskets are numbered...one for each of us! It seems slim enough to fit in my entry and it has storage, hooks and style! Oh my! It doesn't exactly fit my budget...so I am decided if I want to save save save...or if I want to do a few DIY projects to put together a similar look. Definitely want to find a great coat rack...love it! Stay tuned...

Also, something I would like to tie-in to the entry would be this fun idea (found on marthastewart.com)



I like the idea of using an object for something other than its intended purpose and this looks like a simple project and a great way to display necessary items.

I also would like to replace the overhead light fixture....possibly a chandlier?? That is a whole new can of worms...the internet is swarming with beautiful fixtures. That would probably be a post of its own!

Hopefully the entry will become more of a place that says "Hello!! Welcome!!" instead of "blah, blah, blah".

Off to Dallas for the weekend! Hope everyone has a great one!!
