pinterest inspired.

you do know what pinterest is, right? {careful: you might get sucked in.}

so a while ago i found this pretty little idea on pinterest, originally from here.

and since our bed now has a big window right behind it, i needed something to cover the window, but regular old curtains weren't going to cut it. and i happened to have some really long white curtains from the guest room in the old house...

so i reused them to create this:
how fun is that?

and pretty long curtains for the second window, as well.

i also found inspiration for my nightstand on pinterest, originally from here.

a few trips to goodwill and now i have this:
the middle one is my favorite one. i'm considering painting the other two in some neutral shades, since they are the hard plastic kind of suitcase and i figure paint would stick to them pretty well. i also need to actually secure them all together somehow since i have a sneaky little cat who likes to climb on anything and everything he can, as evidenced here, before we moved. can you find him in this picture?

yeah. that's him on top of the cabinets. silly cat.

anyway. those are a few of the pinterest inspired things that have been going on around here. we've been working hard the last month, working on turning this house into a cozy little home.

and just for fun, a few sneak peeks of some other house-related happenings.

and our nice little neighbors, bryan and kara {or maybe brian and cara?} baked us some yummy welcome to the neighborhood cupcakes. how sweet is that?

and now i had better get to work. these shelves aren't going to build themselves!
