That’s how I describe Pinterest.  Everything I love–organized.  I told my sisters over Easter that it has changed my life and they all kinda chuckled and made fun of me a little, and now they are hooked, too.  So, if you haven’t jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon, I urge you to do so.  I would be SO happy to send you an invitation (it’s VIP, ya know) if you leave your e-mail addy.  Here’s just a few of my favorite things I pinned this week from several of my pinboards:
that makes me want to throw a fresh dinner party.
Ensures less dripage.  What a cool tip!
I will never paint the same again.
A BLT dressed up with a fried egg and drippy yolk.
A dinner even I can pull off.  And I bet Chris would be drooling.

A room that seriously has me rethinking our layered-white
color scheme we have been planning for our master bedroom.  This room is GAH!
My mom has gray hair.  She loves her gray hair and has never dyed it.
I pinned this picture just for her as extra proof gray hair can be stunning.  

I pinned this to my “Art” board, because it is so much more than home decor.
I am dreaming of it gracing our bedroom, once we get dark hardwood floors.
What are your favorite things you have pinned this week?  If you haven’t started pinning yet, don’t forget I’d be happy to help your brain and heart meet.

    Tiffany,

    I actually grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa. My family moved to Rexburg, ID when I was a senior year in high school. As you can imagine, moving as a senior was rough and I didn’t exactly branch out and meet people. But, a friend of Chris’s is a friend of mine. Thanks for stopping by. I sent your invite–happy pinning!

    I stumbled across your blog from trulie scrumptious. I know who Chris is because we both went to MHS but I don’t think ever hung out or had classes together. Did you grow up in Rexburg too? Anyways, I would love to see what all the rave is about with pinterest. Will you send me an invite at tiffanytownsend@hotmail.com?

    I love Pinterest as well thanks to your recommendation and have now spread the pinning goodness onto my other friends. It makes me so happy to look at my boards, everything that made me grin in 1 spot.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
