Oh, how Pinteresting...

I am linking up at The Vintage Apple for "Oh, how Pinteresting" Wednesday!

You should definitely start following me on Pinterest (which you can do by either clicking here or on the Pinterest logo on the picture on the sidebar that looks like the pic below.

Since Saturday is going to be a day full of cleaning and re-organizing [in preparation for the shower we're having at the house the following Saturday] I have been pinning away at some ideas to use at my house to make things a little less clutter-y.

I am doing something similar to this with little tiny jars and all my spices under my kitchen cabinets . Instead of using magnets I am using Velcro.

I am putting tension rods INSIDE my cabinets to organize casserole dishes & lids (hopefully - if I can find tension rods that size, any ideas?)

I never quite got around to finishing the paint job on the backs of my white chairs in the dining room, so I may use this idea of pillow cases with some ribbon tied around.

I have a bookcase in my dining room - simply because I have no where else to store it. So I really, really want to add curtains to a few of the shelves to hide the books, kind of how the curtain pictured above hides bins

EVERYthing looks better on a tray :) so I plan on making a few to stick in the bedroom and living room

great idea for using inside of cabinet doors for storage!

a plethora of busyness

well, it's August.


school starts in 23 days.

I apologize in advance for prbly being a little MIA this week.

Random-osity.

random posts today.

1) I dyed a strip of my sister's hair purple this weekend. You already know this is you follow me on Twitter

After

I am incredibly jealous of the purple-ness. Now I can't do this kind of thing since I have a big-girl job and all, but in college I would have been SO there. Also, isn't my sister gorgeous?

2) I added a bookshelf to the bottom of my blog featuring books I've read. I like it. A lot.

3) I have been working on Hopey's bachelorette veil and I am pretty pumped about it. It is accented with purple, Jolly Rogers and little footballs. Needless to say, it's awesome.

taking it for a test drive

4) My brother-in-law made some pretty awesome cornhole boards for himself this weekend. I am impressed.

5) I am really excited about all the cool decorations I want to make when Fall rolls around. Thanks Pinterest for making me want to buy out Michaels and A.C. Moore craft stores...

6) I am going to be doing some mad, crazy cleaning and organizing this weekend to prepare our house for Michelle and Eric's baby shower next weekend. My cabinets are getting reorganized, Sawyer's closet is getting purged of his outgrown clothes and everything is getting scrubbed within an inch of its life.

I plan on using this tension rod method to organize my casserole dishes in my cabinets
