Pinterest Craze

So today I went on a Pinterest craze. For those of you who don't know what Pinterest is, it's a webpage where people "pin" interesting things they find on to their pages, and you can share all of these things among all members of the site. So it's more or less a site of lots of cool stuff. It changes by the minute, so you can find yourself looking at hundreds of pins at a time, and it never gets boring. There's recipes, house decorating ideas, beauty ideas, fashion layouts, funny quotes, artwork--the list goes on and on. These were some of my favorite finds lately:

This real ad from the 1930's
This storage idea for "lay flat to dry" clothes that you never have anywhere to lay!
Why didn't anyone think of this sooner!!
This bathroom. I love the colors!
No Bake Cake Batter Truffles---yep, you heard right. Click for recipe!
My husband loves Star Wars, so when I found this nursery, I had to show it to him!

Bedroom Blues

As we get closer to having our home in Hawaii, I'm trying to start planning for our house decor. Right now I'm working on our bedroom because I'll be buying our bedroom set soon. I refuse to buy any furniture in Hawaii because all of the prices are jacked up because they have a lesser influx of supplies. I've sent all of these pictures to David so he can pick his favorites. I'm more of white, clean, modern kind of girl, but I like little bits of vintage, traditional pieces every now and then. Here's the styles I've picked out!

Far more traditional than my style

A mixture of modern with traditional colors

This has me written all over it! My idea of a perfect bedroom! Not to mention that's the exact comforter David and I have (just in aqua color). The only thing I'd tone down is the headboard. I'd do something more like below.

My second favorite. Again, modern, but the chair, drapes, and accent pillows are more traditional.

This is really cool. It's modern but masculine with traditional pieces. I'd use aqua as the accent color (instead of pink flowers here)

I love the monochromatic feel of this room. Hate the bed (headboard) and furniture though.

This is a nice mixture of styles, and I love the monogram above the bed!
