Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday!

Yeah. I'm still just as obsessed with Pinterest. When I get some time (oh, and money!) I really want to re-do my living room. Currently, the accent colors are rust orange and dark red. I'm wanting something lighter and fresher. I just need to swap out the accessories and mantel decor mostly.

Here are some pins that are inspiring me!

I love the beachy feel and the pale aqua, green and white. Can't wait to get working on it! I love Pinterest for projects like this. In the past I would make word documents with inspiration photos or have bookmarks everywhere. This is so much better and so much more fun!

What are you pinning? Are you obsessed like me?!

Thinking Ahead and Loving Pinterest

Okay, so I know I'm a planner but this might be a little much even for me. I'm already thinking about Lila's first birthday party and she's not even 5 months old! I don't even know if she's going to have much more than just a family birthday either. But regardless, it's fun to gather ideas and think about it.

Pinterest is great for gathering ideas for tons of stuff, but I especially see its utility in planning kids parties, baby showers and weddings. I also love it for ideas for future photo sessions for Lila. Follow me on Pinterest! Maybe I'll keep up with it more that way!

If I were truly planning Lila's 1st birthday today I think I'd do kind of a vintage-y theme. Her room is so bright and most of her clothes are vibrant too, so I think a party with softer colors would be a fun change.

Here are some of my recent pins for ideas for her 1st birthday:
