I’m so excited to be participating in sfgirlbybay’s pin-it-forward. I put together a little something about what home means to me … and hundreds of other bloggers are writing about this topic also.
Be sure to visit Brandi at Not Your Average Ordinary, who wrote about what home means to her yesterday.
Check back tomorrow to see what home means to Alely at Oh Sweetlee Me.
Below is a little preview of the inspiration that I’ve gathered on my board at pinterest. Be sure to visit to see the rest of what inspires me when creating a home.
The most important thing about home: my family. Home is where my family is.
Home is cozy and warm … A little messy …
A lot of color.
A place where we can relax, eat, play.
My home is a work in progress. But I dream of a colorful mix of new and vintage furniture and decor; our own artwork displayed; and organization. Oh, how I long to be organized …
See my entire inspiration board here.
I am in the process of printing photographs and organizing some artwork to hang on a big, empty wall in our living room. We have lived in this house for a year now, but I haven’t done a ton of decorating yet.
I really want to hang some of my own photographs and some other art that I have made or collected. I have been looking for some inspiration in displaying artwork. I really want to have this wall be full of family photographs, fine art prints of my own, and other collected artwork. So, I have been browsing for some flickr inspiration for a few weeks – and then sfgirlbybay posted an series of ideas earlier this week – so I decided to collect my favorites all in one spot here. (Go check out her post, she has many more ideas – I just narrowed it down to my favorites)
I love the vintage photos in black frames (and how fun is that pink chair?)
I adore this eclectic bunch of artwork hung over the sofa. I like how they grouped the frames really close together (and can you see the anthropologie mug on the shelf behind the couch? I am obsessed, apparently)
This picture shows a fun collection of artwork and accessories on shelves … I like how this group of accessories includes some framed doilies and other objects … I bet I have some cool collected objects or crocheted items that I could include on my wall …
Love all the paintings in mismatched frames:
LOVE this collection of vintage photos in matching black frames (from domino):
Lots of pattern and contrast in the monochromatic collection here (also from domino):
There is a ton of ideas in these pictures. I can’t wait to get started. I’ve already had a few of my images printed, and I have some great ideas for other accessories to frame and hang on the wall. I will post pictures of my art wall as soon as it is done!
