I simply love gathering ideas on Pinterest.  I am NOT sure what I did for inspiration before it! LOL.

dreaming.....browsing through pottery barn

So has anyone ever just had SO many ideas of things they would love to do to their house for an update and just get lost between all the options!?  Yeah that is me!

I see some DIY projects coming SOON!!

 Love this... would be great in the entry way for umbrellas etc.....

 Love these colors and pattern... want that in my bedroom!!

 I would love some of these shelves... not sure where they would go yet, but they would be neat out of reclaimed wood....

 I want something like this in my master bath for more storage, I need a medicine cabinet...

 Oh I need to make something like this for the wall in the entry way for kids to leave notes on and for reminders!  LOVE it!

 Simple canisters... I NEED these!!

 and this!! love it!

I do not sew.. (hint hint EM) I would love a new table runner for my coffee table and my dining room!!
These colors are divine!

well that is my tour of  some dreaming while browsing at POTTERY BARN!!

kitchen dreaming

Its a new year and I still want a new kitchen look... these pictures got me inspired to try to make a plan and get it working!!!

1. Love the farmhouse sink look...

 2. Love the beadboard, adds so much texture and charm and the glass pull knobs.

 3. Love the idea of the breakfast island being a different color.. reclaimed wood is nice

 4. white cabinets with beadboard inserts... love ....

 5. another option for the island.....love the BLUE too

6... glass tile back splash!!...... here are some options I have found

7. Floors....so many options

a. Cork

b. Bamboo

8. Countertops.....

9. Lighting....
I have lots of can lights but adding in some pendants would be ideal...

ok that is my dream start on paper.... at least I have a place to begin.... :)
