Pinday: Let's Have a Party

I'm throwing a party this Saturday...and I can't wait. I haven't finished shared a post on my goals for May yet, but I will be back with that shorty. I just really wanted to throw out here some pretty perfect pins that inspired me to throw a super girly shindig in the middle of crazytown busy season. So here are the pins that made the cut:

Pinday: The Rock Garden

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here in southern Virginia. I was lucky enough to spend most of the day outside with my puppies and get a few things done for spring. I picked up sticks out of the yard that had fallen last week in the snow/ice situation, I spread out the bails of hay (for grass in those bare spots) that we used last fall for decoration, and I painted a really reeeally old bench for the rock garden that me and my mom are vamping up this spring. After painting the bench, I was inspired to write a "Pinday" post about my rock garden inspiration.

#1

This bench inspired this whole project I believe. It is so happy, clean, bright, and summery. It is the exact color I spray painted my bench yesterday (I had some leftover spray paint from when I painted an ugly clearance lamp a few months ago). So this pin was inspiration for a project that took me exactly 10 minutes and a sunny day to complete!

I promise I will post pictures of our garden when it is finished.

This adorable fairy door has my heart. *sigh*

It was originally from Etsy, but is no longer for sale.

Yep, I'm totally DIYing this.

We are planning to hang a chandelier also. Eeeekk!

It's going to be painted red. Oh yes.

It definitely doesn't look like this, but you get the point. We were actually given a chandelier not too long ago, so I'm just waiting to get a can of paint to get to it!

I'm on the lookout for some free brick...

Are you already planning for spring? Any cool projects?

 

 

 

 





Pinday: Mardi Gras

I hope y'all are in someway enjoying Mardi Gras, even if it was wearing something a little colorful today! I've never "celebrated" Mardi Gras, but I think it is pretty in some ways. I'm not talking about the drunk mob that hangs out downtown Baton Rouge (even though that's all it really is, as far as I know...I should probably learn some history about it...). Anyways, what I think is so pretty about it is the colors & sparkle.

These yummy-looking macaroons from HGTV (Is it bad that I've never had a macaroon?)

So apparently taking Mardi Gras beads and using them to make cool mosaics is a big thing. I appreciate it. I have found some pretty amazing pieces while browsing Pinterest.

This particular one is in the bottom of a serving tray..how cool is that?!

If you are like me and want is really really bad, it is for sale on Etsy. *Yay!*

I hope you found some way to add pizazz to your Tuesday! Did you do anything unique? We had salmon for dinner, but I'm not sure if that counts...but we will pretend(:

 

 



Pinday: Presidents' Day

Happy Presidents' Day! Is it too soon to celebrate another "holiday"? Nooo...
I've actually had this post planned for awhile, and I am very excited about it. I think it because I am so in love with the All-American style. It could be July 4th all year long, that's cool with me. Here's to a patriotic Pinday.

Pinday: Valentines

 

Valentines Day is just around the corner! Pink balloons and heart-shaped candy boxes are everywhere I look. Reservations are being made, wine is being bought, and flowers are being arranged. Although I admit it is nice to have a flower to look at and a big box of chocolates to eat, it is clearly overrated! But hey, let's take another opportunity to celebrate something. That's better than not having a holiday at all right?

So these are three lovely pins that I have seen over the past few weeks:

#1

I feel like this is subtle enough to be cute all year. How about a pre-teen room?

#2

Okay, not technically for Valentines...but it has some red!

Do you have any big plans for this Friday?

 

Pinday:6 More Weeks of Winter

Honestly, this whole "Pinday" thing could be one of the highlights of my week. An excuse to browse through my pins....who could say no?
I've decided to start adding a theme to it, just to spice things up a bit. Today is all about winter, in honor of the snow that the south got a few days ago (a week ago?) & the fact that we have six weeks of winter left, according to Mr. Groundhog. I can't remember a year that I was actually happy for cold weather, or ice, or shorter days. I really don't think I will ever like winter, like ever. But sometimes these pins are absolutely adorable and they make me enjoy it a bit more.

I want to sit there, with warm blankets, coffee, and fuzzy socks. How cool is that column? I don't even know if that is what you would call it, but it is way too cool.

Oh yes, this is precious. Can I say #Valentines

Just kidding, don't snow. But this chalkboard art is pretty. It is actually a print by the Baron Art Co. (Click picture to visit site)

 

 

 

Have you found any winter pins that are perfect? Or are you ready for spring like me?

 

 

It's Pinday

So, today is my first "Pinday"... & I'm excited about it.
Have you ever looked at the number of pins that you have on Pinterest? Or the number of pins that you have liked? Yeah, wowza. My numbers are aroundabout 2,000 pins and 700 likes. Yikes.
Every time I pin something, I tell myself, "I should wear something like that" or "yeah, I'm doing that" or "HAHAHAHA"(at something inappropriate)
I have actually only followed through with probably 20 pins. Some actually aren't so bad! But of course, most are #pinstrositys.
I'm going to pick 3 fabulous pins, and ooooh and ahhhh about doing it one of these days.

This bedroom that I have been in awe of for months. That wall. Mmm.

Let's be honest, if you throw Hunter boots into any picture, it becomes 100x better.
