Happy Weekend

So... this week has been insane.  Without further ado, I'll share with you how I relieve stress and try to revive my creativity once the corporate world has tried so hard to stifle it. My happy place. After moving into a new home, I'm trying not to rush to furnish/decorate so that I don't make bad decisions that I have to live with.  Browsing Pinterest is both relaxing and stimulating for my brain, I find that I have better ideas about home decor and change my mind LOTS about what type of aesthetic I want in my home the more time I spend browsing.  I've also noticed that I'm more creative in choosing outfits to wear when I spend time on Pinterest as well.  Even if I'm not browsing fashion-related items specifically, I get inspired by so many of the textures and color combinations that I see and become more adventurous in styling outfits.  

My point is this: I believe that your style is your style, no matter where you're applying it.  The things that you chose to dress and accessorize yourself, your home, or your life in are constant reflections of that style.    

Another point to be made by this post: Pinterest.Is.Everything.  These are just a few of the lovely images that I've come across recently that have inspired my style and aesthetic for my home.

    I do love pinterest! I need to spend some more time on it though. I'm trying to strike that balance of having fun with it without becoming completely obsessed. Haha!

    Pintrest is the best thing since sliced bread, or even Facebook. Pintrest and coffee really spark my day, and I find that starting my day with a dose of Pintrest is sometimes even more useful than coffee.

    I had the woman who is designing my wedding invitations over at my house for a consultation, and she asked to be given a tour of our place before we started. I asked her why, and she replied that she really gets a feel of a couple/person's style and likes based on how they decorate their space. I found that super interesting, and I think that she's right!

    Decorating can be so overwhelming - or at least it is for me! I'm looking at paint colors right now to repaint my whole house, and I'm obsessed with looking at ideas on Pinterest! It really is a great tool. I love these photos you picked out! You should share photos as you go in your house. :)

    I completely agree! And Pinterest is fabulous- whenever I'm feeling out of ideas for literally anything in my life, all I have to do is start browsing around and I instantly feel inspired.

    Plus, it's so addictive it's not even funny!
