Addicted to Pinterest

Are you on Pinterest yet? If not, you should be! Well, at least if you are an idea freak like me.
Don't know what Pinterest is? Here is a description straight from the people at Pinterest:

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.

Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.


And that pretty much sums it up. If you see something you like online and want to reference it later, just pin it to your board.

Me? I currently have boards for the following things:
• For the Home
• Tutorials & Crafty Ideas
• Wedding Shower Ideas
• Fun Food Ideas
• Entertaining
• For the love of pillows - enough said
• Random fun - yep, just what it says
• Design Stuff - cool graphic design/patterns, etc.
• Homemade Gift Ideas
• Craft Group Ideas
• Stuff to Sew
• Crafts for Kids
• Holiday Decor

Oooh, and if you follow other boards, the stuff they pin shows up on your Pinterest homepage. I love seeing what new pins are up for the day.




Since we've got the new house and all, my most active board in For the Home. Later this week, I'm going to show you some idea progress with our dining room. Today, I'm going to show you my pins and ideas for the laundry room.

Our laundry room is so stinkin' small. Like if I gain wait, I might not be able ot get the clothes out of the washer and dryer small. Ok, so I'm being dramatic. Kind of. I have about 2 feet in fromt of the washer and dryer. Enough room for a laundry basket, and that's it. Did I mention that it's also where you enter the house from the garage? Yeah, so there is a big pile of shoes on the floor too.

Like I said, we're working on it. Here are some dream laundry room ideas I've pinned. Some are for colors and decorating, some for function:

Lovely, no? I especially love the last one, chandelier and all. Unfortunately, we decided we could use more storage in there, so we're putting cabinets over the washer and dryer. At least they are white to help brighten things up. Now I just need a shoe storage solution that Mr. Picky can live with, and some shelves above it(whatever "it" is) so I can make it pretty. Oh, and I want to make a sign like that burlap one. There is a tutorial with it. She actually fed the burlap thru her printer. Gulp. I'm trying to work up the nerve (or lac of sense) to try it. I'll keep you posted.

Ok, I won't bore you any further today. You can check out my other pins HERE if you're truly curious, or wait around for me to show you more as I go.
