My home, straight from the pages of Pinterest? Maybe not.

Pinterest, I love it but it depresses me.  It inspires me AND it overwhelms me.  Lately I’ve been trying not to look at it’s pages.  Is it real?  Are people really that creative?  Do they really have the time?  Do people really live like that?

I’ve seen a lot of Pinterest inspired blog posts lately where fellow bloggers and Pinterest junkies share with us some of their favorite, most dreamy, most coveted pins.  I love those blog posts.  I thought I might set out to do one myself but then I looked around my house and thought I’d instead share with you some of my Pinterest worthy decor.  Can you resist from pinning them yourselves?

First, the painfully creative Halloween decor my 8 yr old made.  Glasses with food coloring = Spooky Potions.  On the left we have “bluddy red” in the middle “gostly blue” and on the right “pumpkin feast,” at least that’s what the labels say they are…oh and there are pinecones with glitter.

 
Second we have “Halloween” drawings by my twin 5 yr old sons.  Plain computer paper, sharpie markers and Duct tape because we have a real problem keeping actual tape in the house.  My inclination was to say “no” but then I just went with “yes, it looks fabulous, thank you guys!”  Lord only knows how long these will be up in my kitchen.
Lastly, we have the laundry couch.  I promise you and my husband it’s not the same laundry you saw there yesterday, it’s a different load I swear.  As long as it’s folded I tell myself it doesn’t look so bad.  Thank heavens we have an extra loveseat just for laundry.  Isn’t it just the best idea ever!?
Of course I wish that my home looked like it was straight off the pages of Pinterest.  Maybe one day.
