Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday!

I've been itching to do a few home decor updates since it looks like Nate and I will be staying in our current house a little longer than I would like we had anticipated, so I plan to spruce a few things up and make our time there a little nicer to look at. Of course I have found 4,657 ideas on Pinterest, so today I'm linking up with Michelle for...

The first thing will be some new curtains for the living room. I'm either thinking a bold stripe or a chevron patter.

I love these frames! Add some black & white photos and you're set!

I'd die for a Farmhouse table, the space we're in now isn't big enough, but one day I"ll have one!

I love this rug

I need to do this before I do any of the above/below improvements!!

I love all the white, and that rug!

I need that HUGE frame, and that piece of furniture ASAP

We have a small bathroom, so improvements like updating the mirror and hand towels/shower curtain make a big difference!

I did a little work on the closets a few weeks ago, but they could probably stand another purge!  I dream of a closet this organized!

I hope y'all are having a great week! Go link up with Michelle today!

Living Re-Do (in process)

Since redecorating my bedroom, I've had the urge to do another room. If you walk into my house, you would think you were in a Kirkland's store. Seriously. So, to give it more color and life, I decided to change the decor in my living room.

Due to my limited funds, I need to keep my furniture. So, the easiest way to change things up would be with accessories.

Before

Another before shot

And the new stuff....
I started with this rug (from Kohls).

 Then, I found this pillow at Target.

 Then, I bought these (2) pillows (Pier 1).

 And here's what we have so far.

 I want one of these pillows to add more pattern to the room. Which do you think? (I think I would put it on the brown chair. Should it go on the couch?)

 Still on the To Do list for the living room?

• Change the art on the walls.
• Change the green lampshades.
• Remove the green chair.
• Buy patterned pillow.
• Buy  a colorful throw.

Do you have any suggestions for updating my living room?

Bedroom Reveal

So do you remember way back in the spring how I was wanting to redo my bedroom? Well folks, a few months later, it's finally finished. Wanna see my new favorite room in my house?

The old, dark, stiff, boring room:

New, fun, light and airy bedroom:

Whatcha think?

Oh, how pinteresting

I'm linking up with The Vintage Apple to share some recent finds on one of my favorite websites, Pinterest. This week, I'm going to share some things for the home that I would love to have. You can find these on my pinterest page (link is in about me at the top).  

I love this color combo! So relaxing.



How pretty are these colors together. I see this in my future daughter's room!



Awesome couch from Ikea. I don't need a sleeper, but I've always wanted the chaise at the end.



So cute and unique. I love the different types of letters. I may be on the hunt now.

Great use of space. And I love the color of those cabinets! 

I'm on a gray kick, so I love this pattern of the bedding. And I'm dying for an upholstered headboard.

So neat! would love to have this headboard.

Really wanting this rug from Urban Outfitters. Only comes in a 3x5 though.

Cute curtains; love the colors.

What a neat way to dress up a drab thermostat! I need to find an ornate frame like this one!
