Pins

Photos by Mette Helena Rasmussen via things i like, things i love

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest and to this minute I’m still not sure how I feel about it.  Honestly one second I like it and love that it’s a really easy way to organize photos I find, especially when I want to quickly reference them later on. On the flip side I feel conflicted about all the pins and repins losing photographer credits along the way—I am still up in the air about using photos from photographers, even with crediting them and linking to their site.  I have talked about it to great lengths with three of my photographer friends and I still don’t know how I feel about it (for the record, all three said the same thing—giving credit and linking to their site, if they have one, is great).

Either way, Pinterest is very easy to use, has a pretty good iPhone app (not perfect but pretty good), and remains on my list of things I’m trying out (much like twitter where I was a late adopter but really love it!)… and now that that’s out of the way, here are a few of my pins from this week.

The below photos I’ve seen before (Domino Magazine maybe?) and are two that I have always loved. Sheepskin throws?  Even after being a vegetarian for seven years (I eat meat now), I still want some.  Really want.

Color

I have a fear of color, as is apparent by our house and my wardrobe.  I love color but mostly when used with restraint and as we are finishing up things in the bathroom, I keep thinking about how white it is in there… we need color.  So in response to my phobia, here’s some color-therapy for the week in hopes that this weekend I can slowly start adding just a little bit of color around the house.  Just a wee-bit… easing into the idea ever so slowly.

Photos by Earl Carter

The top photo is by Damian Russell, while the bottom two are by Earl Carter.  Both are great photographers and I recommend checking them out!  If you really want to see some color, check out Earl Carter’s images section… bold.

Have a great weekend!

Shelves, Take Two

Photo by Eric Piasecki

My hands-down, least favorite room in our house is the living room, which we also refer to as the crap-factory. It is the finest collection of our worst decisions.  Onto shelves.  I’m tossing around the idea of doing something similar to the shelves from DWR that I love but cannot afford, but I also love the idea of metal library shelves on the wall.  The white shelves from this picture and the black ones here are still my favorite but I’m also really loving these:

Then there’s the opposite end of the dollar-and-energy spectrum but equally intriguing low plywood set:
