All I do is pin, pin, pin no matter what…
and if you follow me on Pinterest, you know that. The Pinterest iPhone app is my savior when I am bored. I pin in line at the grocery store, during a 2 hour wait at the DMV, I pin on long road trips (when I’m not driving), and even on the stationary bike at the gym. The app magically turns any situation of torture into a happy place.
Although I pin a lot, it’s not for nothing. I go back to my boards for ideas all the time. I could do a separate post on each board and how I’ve implemented it, and maybe I will. But for now I’ll share some of my recent projects as part of Young House Love’s Pinterest Challenge.
Most of my projects are home related, since we are still working on setting up our new home.
We have all the furnishings, but we’re still missing some personality. First we created the wall of fame. And now I’m working on all the other little personal touches to make our place more home-y.
The following projects are inspired by my Wall Decor Pinterest board:
I love this quote. Great words to live by. This project was inspired by this pin, but I created this print myself. It sits on the desk in our office.
This next project was based on both a combination of what I saw the previous owners had in this house and also a Pinterest version.
We haven’t been in the new place a year yet, but last week I got the fall snapshot to complete our seasons! It’s a good thing I did, because this weekend’s early snow froze a lot of the pretty leaves off.
This next one is one of my favorites because the Pinterest pin, found here, was a website full of free printables of this quote (in different colors and sizes!) that someone had found and linked on Pinterest. So much better than buying similar quotes through etsy, because it’s free! I thought it was perfect for somewhere in our living room.
I am still working on a few more wall projects for a large wall in our kitchen that I will share once it is complete! But my wall decor board has some hints 
The next project was taken from my organization Pinterest board. There are so many cool ideas out there, so I want to implement as many as I can. But for now I only have one complete.
I was inspired by this pin of this gorgeous closet, to reorganize my stash of toiletries in my bathroom closet.
I tried reusing baskets I had instead of buying all new ones, so it might not be as pretty as the Pinterest version, but at least it’s organized!
I still have a lot of hair, nail, makeup, and clothing inspirations that I have adapted from Pinterest ideas that I will try to gather and share in a later post.
Have you turned any of your pins into a reality? If, so what types of projects or ideas?

ooo, i love all these ideas! and yes, pinterest is addictive
yes totally, but in a good way! i caught the creative bug.
Love all those ideas, especially the 4 seasons photos! I currently only use Pinterest as a way to bookmark recipes…
I have made some recipes I’ve found on there too! There’s so many ideas in so many categories though, it’s worth branching out!
Would you believe I haven’t succumbed to Pinterest yet? Not sure how long I’ll last thought
All your ideas turned out fabulously! I’m a huge fan of organization bins too!
Oh Shanna, you would die if you saw some of the baby ideas on there. You gotta join, it will help you with your nesting
I love the organized closet… gives me the urge to organize mine!!!
Now followin you on pinterest…
thanks I love the look and feel of an organized space! I will follow you too!
I done a of the things I’ve pinned on pinterest, bit I certainly need to do more! Love your 4 seasons photos and the closet organization!
thank you! I have seen you do a lot of the cool nail art ideas
amazing
I’m behind on the times and didn’t discover pinterest until about a few weeks ago. I’m not overly active, but do love to browse a little on my downtime… I can see how it could become a serious addiction!
yeah definitely. i wouldn’t say i’m addicted, yet. like you said the app comes out in down time or times of misery waiting in line. instead of having a panic attack like I used to, I now go to my happy place
I love Pinterest! I will have some time between graduation next month and starting a job, so I definitely plan on trying a few DIY crafts I’ve seen posted.
i look forward to seeing some of your projects
I haven’t used Pinterest because I know I will become addicted! I already spend way too much time reading blogs…I can’t find another way to waste hours on the Internet.
Love the organization project and I think the baskets look just fine!
blogs are great way to get inspired too! i also use Pinterest to store ideas from my favorite blogs that i don’t want to forget about.
I loooove Pintrest. I was just talking about it today and how I get so many recipe ideas there. The downside is all the SHOPPING ideas I get there… ugh. BRB going to buy a lottery ticket….
yes cooking and shopping ideas for sure. but it also makes me want to be crafty and make all these things myself, that frankly is probably a)never gonna happen and b) never gonna look remotely like the original idea if i did!
super cute. love them all~
thank you!
Love pinterest and always make things
Good luck!!
yes I’ve seen some of yours, like the menu planner. brilliant!
I haven’t yet, but I love what you’ve done! Especially that last one with the closet organization- it’s genius! I actually have something similar in my closet for scarves, sunglasses and belts.
Also love the fours seasons from your balcony… off to follow you on Pinterest (have no idea how I don’t already…)!
Have a great weekend girlie!

I love all of these projects! You are so crafty
Not nearly as crafty as you!!
