Where does the time go

We have been so busy here on Grant St. Working on the little boys room, cannot tell you how much I dislike painting. Hope to have pictures up soon of his baseball room~


And can I tell how much I dislike the fact that a couple of my favorite magazines are out of print. I am so hard up I peruse the Pottery Barn catalog for inspiration. I just received the fall catalog in the mail and they have added Vintage Style as one of their decorating categories. Some cute things and ideas check it out........


Love the graphics in this room.
Cute little take on some burlap roast bags~

I love this bar it look like a work bench of my Dad's. Makes me think of an idea~

I love love this idea of the photos clipped to twine. I have this on my to do list for today. I am going to try in my living room and bedroom.

Where do you find your inspiration??

    With so many magazines that have closed I really love looking at blogs for inspiration. I noticed all the cute things in PB though this time.

    I go to blogs now for inspiration, not to mention there are ways to get that look for so much less, I don't know how people afford Pottery barn...love the stuff just not the prices! Time flies when you are having fun! XO

    I sooo know what you mean about the magazines...but like Tara said...blogs have become the place to go to be inspired. Love the twine with the photos...after our move...I'm gonna borrow that idea.

    Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! I think we have ALOT in common - I often find myself flipping through the PB catalog for inspiration. I just recently discovered Canadian House & Home and I highly recommend it for a monthly subscription. I also blogged about it! When/where are you going to do monthly flea-tique sales???

    I really love all the new Pottery Barn stuff. I bought the hanging cheese and bread board and a beautiful crystal carafe for wine. I really like the pillows wish I had room:)

    Lately I've been getting all the inspiration I need from Blogs....pretty soon I'm afraid that magazines will be obsolete if everyone keeps writing such cool blogs!
