Pinterest #1

Have you notice I'm posting more now? Funny thing... I got myself into a challenge with my friend to see which one of us will fail at posting. We have no parameters which is a bit of a problem for a challenge.

I thought today would be a great day to start showing some Pinterest love. Pinterest is a website where you can set up virtual boards and pin pictures to them. You can follow me here. When I joined, you had to have an invite to join. I don't know if that's still the case, but if you want to join, I can send you an invite.

I'm going to choose just five pictures to show off each time I do one of these posts.

My favorite thing about this first picture is the ledge that goes around the room with all those bottles. I have a love of bottles and I don't have enough. They currently line my kitchen counter but I do need to move them and I can't bear to pack them away. I can definitely visualize a ledge like this in our kitchenette. Then I can collect more bottles!

A few other loves: large windows, the chairs give a big pop of color with that red, the light fixture that totally just goes with this room.

 My pantry is tiny. This one is so beautiful. Using all glass jars makes it so uniform and allows all the color to show through. Plus it's easy to see what you might be low on. One downside to this would be that kids would not be allowed to touch until a certain age. I don't have a problem yet, but I can foresee chaos. But so very pretty.

 I usually am not a fan of pot racks because they always seem to be low and you feel like you have to duck every time you walk near it. This one hangs higher and in front of the window so it doubles as a window treatment. I don't think it'd ever be very practical for me (talk about hauling out a step stool every time I needed to use or put away a pot!) but I do like it.

 I have these pretty glass jars to store my herbs. The storage is a hassle. I love this sliding out, tiered cabinet! It keeps spices organized, out of the sunlight, and within reach.

This picture is of a bathroom, but this idea is for my kitchen. I just adore these wire baskets! I want many! I even have space chosen in my kitchen to hang them for my hand towels and wash cloths. No, they don't match and they aren't pretty, but I don't care! I could even have one for bibs and place mats.

So there you have it. Some of my Pinterest loves! It was hard to choose a starting place so I'll definitely be doing more of these posts in the future. Hope you enjoyed some pictures not taken by me! ;-)
