Meg has totally lost herself on Pinterest from time to time, where time is money and money is time and OH MY GOD where did the afternoon go?
Meg could spending HOURS pinning food, beverages, decor, places she needs to visit! And why not add more craft projects to her list? (Bwahahahaha!). Which is why she tries NOT to log on a lot, because HOLY CRAP does she ever have a long list of stuff she’ll never get done now. Will she really do that cool craft project where you can decoupage a poem onto a candle? (She hopes so, that sounds fun). Will she make a skinny margarita as seen in the Cocktails board? YESYESYES!
Anyway, Meg has discovered the internet is her best friend in re-doing her master bedroom suite. Remember how she just went furniture shopping and was discouraged?
She finally found a few websites and realized she could pin all the stuff she was buying, (or thinking about buying) and start to get an image of how the pieces would look together. Which kind of jazzed her, and in turn, made her buy more stuff.
Want to see what she has put together so far?
Meg found a brick and mortar store (Ethan Allen) to purchase her bed:
The sales person matched the wood to her antique maple bedroom set, and then Meg picked this cool material for the headboard called “Sparkle Ivory”. Just a touch of twinkle, just like Meg?
Then she went crazy for pillows for various parts of the house:
She saw this vintage Beacon blanket and thought it would really spiff up her sofa:
Now she is going to have an addiction for Beacon blankets. She loves how they look Southwest but you can throw them over anything!
She scored these nightstands from Joss and Main:
And she already had these cool mirrors from Ballard Designs:
Seeing them all up in one place makes things seem much more organized. Meg is happy she is not all Les Miserables and things are coming together! Thoughts, peeps?

Oh my, all I can say is La De Freakin Da! Snazzy!!!
Hi. I’m Jen and I am a Pinterest addict. It’s been two hours since I was last on Pinterest.
I’ve used Pinterest boards a few times to plan a room design and it always helps me organize my thoughts and plans, as well as compare prices across websites. Love it.
I’m so addicted to Pinterest. I have it open while I make my grocery list because lately everything I cook is a Pinterest recipe.
I like your Non-Castle decor so far!
I can’t wait to lie down on that bed when I visit. You ARE going to give me the master suite, aren’t you?

OK, so Pinterest…It is like the last thing on my list of million things I want to do, so my Pinterest board has about ten things and is sorely neglected.
But your pictures. TO DIE FOR. I love both of the pillows so much. I love, love, the Ballard mirrors. And right now, brown/blue/gray are my absolute favorite colors to work with. I need to send you some pics of my bedroom and living room.
IF ONLY I HAD ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. I’d keep this economy going.

I like a touch of twinkle in my life too.
I’m glad you’re getting your crib together, Texas Meg.
Touch of twinkle. I like that. Could be the name of a nice design blog? Or a name for a Pinterest Board. Maybe you need to add just one other board to your collection of boards? lol.
I am still resisting joining Pinterest. BUT I do use other people’s boards for inspiration. Very useful indeed. The other day i found a board dedicated to white dress shirts. OMG! I am forever looking for a perfect white shirt so that was both a blessing and a curse…
Forgot to say: Looking very very good! I would not be able to leave that bedroom if that were MINE!
Lin, you are right. I need a twinkle board to the collection! Twinkle cheers me up.
