Pinterest Pantomime

Here is today's entry for Pinterest ideas. This is from the lovely Alicia of Virginia Living.

What a great idea for parties and showers! I love that you can customize them for whatever color scheme is going on. Alicia said she has made them for a birthday and a shower. Clever!

The next entry is one Madison and I copied. We love nail polish, and between the two of us, we have quite the collection... (Madison got the new Justin Beiber collection for Christmas, so she has hit the BIG TIME.) We love patterns and fun nail ideas, so we pin pictures all the time. Here is one of our favorites.

My version

I have also been all over the Home side of Pinterest, as we are drawing house plans, and I am in the thinking process. I want to perfect the plan as much as possible before we finalize and go to construction.  I love the ideas I see on Pinterest. The problem is narrowing down! Here are a few of my favorite pins.

Basically, the layout of this room fits the design we are going for.
I love the step down, as well as the fireplace, molding and lighting.

The windows? Swoon.

We like the mixture of dark and light cabinetry.

This is from the blog "For the love of a house",
and is my dream bathroom!

This is the look/feel I am going for
in my library. (On a smaller scale.)

The coolest thing I saw on Pinterest this week? (Literally!)

Happy Pinning!

Pin-mitation Friday

I have a confession to make. I am a thief. I totally stole this girl's outfit. Right. Off. Her.
Don't worry, I don't know where most of you live. But, if you put it on the internets, it's mine all mine. (Insert evil laugh.)

Inspiration

I wish I could have worn this exactly the same, with no leggings and a snake skin bag. But my dress is too short for that, and I haven't thrifted an awesome snake skin bag like this awesome chic.

Do I look tired? I AM! Busy week.

Proof that Pinterest Works

It makes me laugh to see all the pins on Pinterest about people pinning, but never doing. I, however, have been able to really do a lot of the ideas I have seen. (Especially the FOOD!)
Here are some of the things I have done:

Apple Cupcake

My version:
I used the Cream Cheese Frosting option,
instead of the Buttercream.
(My people LOVED these!)

Autumn Salad
Pinterest Version
My version:
Bacon, Feta, Cucumber, Candied Pecan's, Craisins, Field Greens, Celery, Pear.
Dressing: Apple Cider Vinegar (Unfiltered, Organic), Pure Maple Syrup, Olive Oil, Pepper

Apple Spice Cake

Covered Footstool
Via Pinterest

My Version:
A $3 UGLY footstool, thrifted

I stripped the old cover off with a flat-head screwdriver, and pliers.
I removed the legs (they twisted off). And I kept the original padding.
Then I covered the old frame & padding with fabric I already had.
(Also thrifted.) Then I stapled the new fabric on, with a staple gun.
I folded the corners like an envelope,
and added the old board back on the bottom fabric to hold everything tight.

Then I put the legs back on and, Viola! New stool!
