New Home Shopping

I both love and hate moving.  Hate for the obvious reasons....packing, cleaning, hauling things (basically labor in general)
BUT I LOVE shopping for a new home.  Deciding the new set up of your bedroom.....new ideas to decorate....pinning things to your Pinterest board....
Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel, Ikea, Pottery Barn....all these catalogs are like pornography for me. My heart literally starts racing faster as I thumb through the pages and ideas start jumping at me.
My hands are sweating just typing this.

I thought I would share some ideas and things that I'm currently loving.

Bathroom  


                                    L to R:  Owl Container - ModCloth {here}
                                                 Owl Bath Mat - ModCloth {here}
                                                 Shower Caddy - ModCloth {here}
                                                 Owl Toothbrush Tree - ModCloth {here}
                                                 Falling Petals Shower Curtain - Macy's {here}
                                                Acrylic Lipstick Organizer - The Container Store {here}

Some of these I have actually already bought....and yes I clearly have an obsession with owls.  I just love quirky little things to make your bathroom fun and organized. 

Pillows


         L to R:    Loving Room Pillow - ModCloth {here}
                                                      Hello Pillow - ModCloth {here}
                                                      Sloth Pillow - ModCloth {here}
                                                      Inspired Pillow - ModCloth {here}
                                                      Wandering Star Pillow - Anthropologie {here}
                                                      Feline Pillow - ModCloth {here}

I'm a sucker for a decorative pillow.  Pretty ones, funny ones....you name it.  Love.


Bedroom

 L to R:     Memorable Style Frame - ModCloth {here}
                                                Beach Radio - Anthropologie {here}
                                                Touching Memories Frame - ModCloth {here}
                                                Pomdelion Bouquet - Anthropologie {here}

I love little accents in the bedroom.  Fun kitschy things.  I like the idea of a vintage radio on a vanity next to fun little pom pom flowers.  Unique.  Things people notice that make your bedroom different. 

Lighting/Candles


                                     L to R:   Sweet Almond and Macaroon Candle - Jo Malone {here}
                                                  Peony and Blush Suede Candle - Jo Malone {here}
                                                  Just Picked Candle Tins - Anthropologie {here}
                                                  Peach Cilantro Twist Candle - Bath and Body Works {here}
                                                  Capri Blue Swirled Jar Candle - Anthropologie {here}
                                                  Rosette Glow String Lights - Target {here}
                                                  PS Maskros Light - Ikea {here}
                                                  Kristaller Light - Ikea {here}

I love candles.  They are so relaxing.  I have about a billion candles at any one time and I'll just turn off the lights and watch a movie with the candles and it's seriously like heaven.  Also.....chandeliers.....I mean...is there anything more cozy or romantic?

I'm also pinning ideas like crazy on Pinterest.  If you're a Pinterest lover....you can follow me and share all your amazing decorating ideas with me....I need them!

pinterest

awhile back I joined from what here on out will be referred to as "time vortex" but formally known as


for those who aren't enlighted pinterest aka the time vortex is a site where you can "pin" things from the world wide web that you like for others to see.  There are some amazing DIYs, for the home items, and recipes!

The problem that I have with it is this: each time I get on the time vortex I leave feeling one of these three things...
1. extreme hunger
2. the unstoppable urge to shop
3. a deep need to redecorate my room/move/buy a mansion

Plus I will start looking at 10 am and when I'm done....it's getting dark out (hence the time vortex)

let me give you some examples...
after spending a lot of some time on the site this evening I came to the following conclusions...

I absolutely must make these homemade twix bars as soon as humanly possible or I will never eat anything ever again!


(I won't even get started on the thousands upon thousands of pumpkin recipes starting to appear....or the number of times I've almost licked my computer screen)

buying this dress and this coat and these shoes will change my life and make it undeniably perfect and I will never have any problems!




And lastly I will have to start packing immediately so I can live in this house


 with these wonderful things inside...


and my children will have an amazing life too because they'll have this


so to sum it all up...the time vortex nee pinterest will make you want to get an entirely different life.

*just a precautionary tale...a person pinned a picture of an  Asian baby on Pinterest with the caption "want" and pinned it to their "For the Home" board...Who are the proper authorities to alert about this?
