Flood!

Hope your Easter weekend was better than mine.

Our Sunday was just lovely until my basement flooded! Not a pleasant surprise.

We've been on a verge of a basement renovation for about a year now

so I guess this is the push we need to bit the bullet and move forward with things.

I've actually been collecting ideas for a while on this pinterest board,

so although the timing isn't ideal, at least I'm prepared.

I'll be sharing some of my ideas for the basement later this week, but today,

here's a little sneak peek of a project I recently had photographed by Sara Bateman.

It's one of my favorites yet! I love the crispness of those linen wingbacks!

You are what you pin

Doesn't it seem like "Pinterest" is the ultimate buzz word these days?

I loved this little excerpt from an article my husband recently shared with me:

"Back when I was young, my cousins would cut out photos, ads and visuals from fashion & lifestyle magazines and create collages. We would buy used magazines for a few pennies to get the right image. We would put the clippings together and then stick them on the bedroom walls and feel very cool because being able to create an awesome, colorful collage showed a little something about you."

Isn't Pinterest just doing the same for all of us but without all the glue and magazine shreds?

And does it make you feel old that you actually remember making collages?

I think I still have some stashed away some where.

And as to Pinterest, I'm marking my one year anniversary and approaching 4,000 pins.

I think it is safe to say I'm addicted. You can follow me here

p.s. Instragram is my second obsession

Alice Lane on Pinterest

Did you know Alice Lane is now on pinterest?

I loved viewing their pins because there were lots of

shots of their work that I had never seen before.

Take a gander at their images, I'm sure you'll find lots of inspiration!

And if you're not already following me on pinterest, you can find me here.
