It’s no big secret how totally and completely addicted I am to Pinterest. In fact, I talk about it so much that it’s surprising that I’m not a Klout influencer about it (/nerd talk). One thing that I love using Pinterest for is finding pictures of decor items or rooms for inspiration, and now that I’m finally in the new place, I’ve been pulling from my 1000+ pins (!!) to get my ideas in order. Here’s a sampling of what I’ve been looking at for my kitchen/living room.

I’ve already used the chevron pattern in my barstools, and the marigold in my awesomesauce desk chair (which I really need to get a better picture of).  I’ve got cute towels in that great coraly-retro red (is there a better name for that??) in my kitchen already, have started painting containers black for some desk organization, and am eyeballing that rug from UO to tie all the colors in. Unfortunately, I have vertical blinds — gag– so no chevron curtains are in order, but maybe a pretty marigold valance someday in the very far future. I’ll be trying in neutrals with my white/black desk, white wall file organizer, black (or white) framed print wall, hopefully a charcoal/black slipcover, and quite possibly a dark gray upholstered top to my hope chest like those gorgeous Bouji pieces.

So without further ado… my first big girl moodboard!
