Spring Fever

It's calling for "12 PLUS" inches of snow tomorrow. Say WHAT?!?!?!?!?! 12 WHAT?!?!?! Oh lord. Just when I was day dreaming about my garden, future chickens, bare kid feet, sweet honeysuckle, and green grass. Its calling for 12 plus inches of SNOW. ugh. I am so over winter I can hardly stand it. So instead I've taken to Pinterest to day dream all day. If you have a garden I have pinned some really helpful resources. Check them out! Here are my top fav for gardening!

Anyways. I'll be starting to plant some seeds inside hopefully this week! I just planted garlic inside yesterday. So I'm hoping to branch out! lol! Either way, I can't wait to get back outside!

Oh and these SPRING colors  make my heart sing. How beautiful is this?

Decorating!!!

All the Christmas stuff is done. Wellllllll expect the porch. Oops! I'll get to it tomorrow. Anyways. I assume the next decorating holiday is Valentines day. I really don't have much and normally just do my mantle. Which is one of my favorite things in the house. We love the look of the stone. I've used this window for a while now. And just change it around during the holidays or seasons! It's so versatile! Oh and yes that's a moose or elk antler. Meh whichever! We love alllll antlers around here! Anyways, the owl is from Home goods, small jar beside it is from Marshall's, the fabulous candlesticks are from a yard sale, the tile is vintage and very old, wreath from Joanne's, the apothecary jar is from a company no longer in business and my favorite piece beside the window is a old porch thing ( I mean uh what is that even called?) support? Google is telling me it's called a "porch corbel"....from my husbands great grandparents families house. I would love 10 more. Such a great piece! Sign is from a little craft store and the "smith" burlap banner was a gift! Burlap is the bees knees. 

                        

After tackling that I moved to the staircase which to be honest has been pretty empty for uh shamefully 6 years. This will be a work in progress and collecting random eclectic items. I really like old unique things. None of those items are old. But it's a nice starting point. We need to re paint soon so I will have to take it down before I get too far but now I have some ideas. Thank you Pinterest! I would like some color or gasp.....chevron!?!

                          

I still have tons to do. This is house is a continuing canvas. I would like decorative blinds in our living room at some point. Any recommendations? 

Do you decorate for Holidays? It drives my hubs crazy! Lol! But he never says a word, other then, That looks wonderful. I love that man. 

Also, since I'm looking for inspiration I've been pinning like crazy! Click on my Pinterest link to follow me!   Um....don't judge me. Yes it says 10.5k pins. I've been on Pinterest before it was cool. 

                     

Fav weekend pins!

I find Pinterest sooooo calming ( you can find me here ) I could pin for hours. It takes my mind off whatever is going on around me...and lets me pretend I'm either filthy stinking rich or on an island some place...Maybe my own island?!

BUT, I feel like I have came across some really cute stuff this past week on Pinterest and at our GCN (Girls Craft Night) we made a super cute craft we found on Pinterest

1. This is the original photo from Pinterest. It actually has NO link tho ( don't you hate that?!) Anyways. We bought our letters from Micheal's for $10.00 total. Already had Chevron painters tape made by Frog found at Lowes. Then we just painted it with basic craft paint. And distressed with Martha Stewart stain also found at Micheal's. 

Heres ours-

2. I LOVE THIS! Has anyone tried anything like this??? Heres the original source from the Pin- Wood Transfer

3. I'm obsessed with the top wall. We need to re do behind our couch badly. And the stairs. But I have never found anything I LOVE. Original Pin

4. And EVERYONE needs this. I mean for real!  

5. Sure DO! Original Pin

And simply because this was my favorite quote I found this past week! 

Playroom Re do!

We will be moving the playroom out of our "formal dining room" into our 4th extra bedroom in the next month or so. (Hopefully sooner!) ALSO, do people really use formal dining rooms?! Such a waste of space.

So here are couple pinspirations I'm lusting over!

Love these boxes from Land of Nod  And the chandy decals?! Kinda girly though....


This is awesome for all the pictures!



I really love all of this!


This light is from Ikea and a super good price. I may need to road trip it on down the road. WHY do we not have an Ikea?! Dear IKEA I need one asap. Or a Hobby Lobby I mean we don't even have that!



I'm super excited to be doing a chalk board wall! I would LOVE for it to be magnetic and chalkboard!



All of these pics are from my Pinterest of course!
