Oh, So Pinspiring

Lately I've been obsessed with gathering ideas for our new home. Pottery barn catalog is always on my top list of inspirations. I may not be able to afford the things they sell, have you seen the prices, but I can attempt to recreate them. Other than pottery barn, I've really been inspired by pinterest. I've certainly been pinning more than ever!

So since I've been pinning so much lately and I'm out of post ideas, here is a list of my favorite pins this week.

I found the coolest tip for hanging picture frames! I gotta admit, my husband is usually the one that that hangs the picture frames in our house, only with my direction of course, but he always seems to get them crooked! No matter how much we measure, they are always angled funny, which drives me bonkers! So when we start on our gallery wall, I am definitely going to try this tip out!

I am dying to make this for E! At the stores I only see super girly kitchens for sale, but hey, boys like to cook too! E would love to have this in his toy room. I always see old entertainment stands on craigslist for super cheap, so once I find one in good condition, I am so going to try and recreate this.

Have you ever realized how much stuff you collect when you have children?
E has so much stuff (books, toys, etc) that he needs two rooms! A bedroom and a toy room. Spoiled Here are some great ideas on how to organize these rooms. My fav is the wagon used to store books.

I am hoping pattern walls stay in style for awhile, because I so want to do this in our 1/2 downstairs bathroom. I know it will take a lot of time to do and if it goes out of style I would be crushed lol.  
Have you done stencils/patterns in your house?

Our house isn't large by any means. I would say it is pretty average size, although it is one of the bigger ones in our subdivision. What I'm trying to say is that we don't have space for an office, or a large mud room, so in order to stay organized I want to do something like this in our kitchen.

And I would like to end with some super cute fashion finds. I must confess, outfit pins are my favorite :)
How adorable are these outfits?

Prefect for spring/summer! Where can I get my hands on a well fitted jean jacket?

I.am.a.pinterest.addict. Totally & completely. No reason to even try to deny it. And, I seriously love every single pin you posted here. Those are some awesome ideas! LOVE the stenciling idea too, I'm sure it'd be great in a bathroom. I'm with ya on trying to recreate the Pottery Barn look. Love the store, hate the prices. I can handle buying bedding for my daughter there, but that's about it! haha. And, that kitchen is amazing!!! You HAVE to make that! Happy Thursday friend!

Good luck with you new home - - we've been in ours nearly a year now and I'm still taking on weekly pinterest projects to decorate!

An abundance of inspiration over here! I love gathering ideas for organization. Thanks for the amazing round up:)

I'm grinning ear to ear because I have so many of the same pins! I'm really big on getting organized and starting over well in our next place. I keep looking at the stencils and think I'm going to give it a go. With the right pattern, I think it will stay trendy but classic. And I'm very impatiently waiting for my mint skinnies to arrive! I hope they look as good in real life on me as they do in those pins!
