Makin' it mid-century....

First of all, I recently realized I'm famous....or at least Pinterest famous...or at least someone pinned some photos from this ol' blog on Pinterest, which in my little world is famous....In any case, thank you guys so much, since I realized this my view stat has doubled...so gold star and a million virtual thank yous to whoever you are..now onto today's business.
I'm gonna keep this post short, as I'm typing this my husband is desperately trying to watch a strange movie about a "tall man" that kidnaps children...weird...and apparently my typing is distracting, since he keeps looking over at me every three seconds and sighing. Get. Over. It.

As you may or may not have heard, I'm kind of a big deal...or at least I'm assisting someone who is kind of a big deal...whatevs...I am assisting in the staging of a 1950s bungalow and to see why this makes me pee my pants check out this post. Anyways, while my mind has been focused on this, I've been scouring the internet for inspiration every chance I get, I've come across some pretty great mid-century spaces and thought I'd share...so enjoy..or don't...once again, whatevs...

Anyways, that's what I'm up to...that and having a seriously scarring movie watching experience...and answering every question to the screen as "yeah, you're going to die" or "yeah she's dead"...I wonder if that is less distracting than the typing to my husband...but seriously, it's on Netflix and called Tallman, don't check it out...
EDIT: So after watching the rest of this movie, it actually turned out to be a really good movie, even with all my yelling at the screen...so I retract my original statement, you SHOULD check it out...

Hmmm…That’s pinteresting…

First thing's first, I've had a few people complain about the comments section being difficult to leave comments, well all of you whining babies can relax because I fixed it, you no longer have to have an account or even a name (there's an anonymous option)...also, a little blogging tip for you, call your readers "whining babies," that'll really jack up your stats :)

Now onto the fun stuff...or maybe just fun for me, but whatevs...

If you know me at all, you probably know that I am completely addicted to Pinterest (and Instagram, facebook, and twitter...and any other social network), like if you give me some chocolate, a bottle of wine, and a computer you probably won’t hear from me for a few hours..or days…In fact, it’s gotten to the point where we actually have a “no laptop/tablet/phone” time at home, so that I don’t spend the hubby and I’s quality time pinning, instead we spend that precious time discussing the important issues in life, like last week's SNL… The biggest problem is that I spend so much time “pinning” but so little time doing. One of my main reasons with starting this blog was to set goals and keep myself accountable by documenting them here..(oh and to make lots of money so let me know if you're interested in becoming a sponsor:)...But I've failed miserably....One of my resolutions this year is to try new things. This is where Pinterest comes in. You see, if I spent some of the time I spend sitting on the computer pinning all of these great ideas, actually trying them, I would have accomplished a lot of fun projects over the past year. Here’s a few, I’m hoping to try, and will document along the way.

I've written about this before and still haven't accomplished this...I have been dying to paint our front door since the day we moved in, however there has been a long standing debate on color with the hubby…Hopefully, I will accomplish this….Probably, just in time to enjoy it for a month before we move again...Found here...

We have been wanting a new dining table for awhile now, and I am so excited about the idea of making our own, and even more excited about using an old door to make one…Found here...

Dip-dyed stool…I have no idea where I would put this or what use I would have for it (actually I have no use for it) but I want it anyways, and I want to make it myself…Found here...

I am extremely nervous about this one since I have very little art skills, but I think it could be awesome to make some DIY art for our home….Found here...

And this is just what my living room frames need....a little gold...Found here...

I want a new desk, this one's great...I want to make it...Found here...

Now I'm off to pin some more...where's my cork screw?...
