First I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you guys for commenting on the piece I’ll never paint! Sometimes you can’t help but feel like you’re just talking and talking and it’s always so nice to have such great feedback! I’m working my way through the comments to reply back and visit you…give me a little time! 🙂
On another note, thank you for your response on the possibility of a furniture-only linky party. I know that Marian and Cassie host one already, but I simply just miss seeing all of your projects consistently…and I want to show them off. You can continue adding projects to our Flickr group, but we’re going to kick off our All Things Furniture Party next week…on Thursday!! I hope you’ll be there…you can link up as many furniture-related projects you’d like!
Until then…
Let me tell you something. It’s important.
Get on Pinterest. Now.
Although, it’s beyond addictive. It’s a creative/visual person’s virtual Candyland. I am really getting into now, and pinning everything from spinach pie to under-the-stair bed nooks.
One of my latest pinboards is my spot for keeping track of interesting and unique spaces.
Architectural elements, unique styling, or even a fun piece of furniture can take a room from ordinary to extraordinary.
A wall of shutters or reclaimed barn wood…well, that’s my kind of impact on a room. So, in all appropriateness and my love for the unique room, I’m enjoying compiling all of these ideas in once place.
My other faves? A board for Furniture Inspiration, Parties (with Ava’s birthday coming soon!), and Farmhouse Dining. I’ll probably be adding a Wish List soon, so I can keep up with the pieces I’d love to have for the dining room.
Are you on Pinterest?? If so, let me know so I can find you! And if not, well, get going sister. And come say hi!
We’ll be busy building the built in’s for the dining room today and tomorrow. What are you and yours up to this weekend??
There is a button on my blog http://dragonfliezcreationz.blogspot.com to follow me or you can look for Dragonfliez Creationz
Hugs!

Oh wow! I didn’t know you could add a button to your blog! How’d you do that?
Shaunna,
I recently started following your blog and I have to say I LOVE your style.
I hope one day I can have eye for decorating as you and incorporate in on my new blog!
Xo,
Kristin
Kristin, what a kind thing to say! You have an eye, by the way….I think we all do…just trust yourself and put things in your home you love and chances are, you’ll be happy with it! 🙂 Good luck with the new blog…it’s so much fun!

I LOVE Pinterest! I’ve been hearing about it everywhere and yesterday, I finally gave in and joined. It is a little addicting, but wonderful!
Pinterest is like crack. I love love love it. I used to have this horrible system of saving links in a folder on my laptop but now that I have pinterest I can go to my folder and glance or find what I was looking for instantly. Very helpful in wedding planning and in life in general. I seriously dream about it all day at work and now that I see the crate toy box, I shall have to pin it to my wall as well as all the other images. Thanks!
I L-O-V-E Pinterest! I joined like a month or 2 ago and I’ve gotten a little board crazy! And yes, it truly is addictive! I love it because I’m really scatterbrained so I was constantly bookmarking things I liked or things for inspiration. Did you know there is an i-phone app too! Now, I can take those ideas with me to go! Which helps a lot when I’m going to buy supplies!
I’m on my way to find you, I love pinning, although maybe spend a wee to much time on it 🙂
Enjoy your weekend
XO
Kristin
Hi Shaunna, I left a comment and somehow it didn’t take. Weird! So here it is, again. I love, love, love, Pinterest!! I’ve already been following you. Why does that sound creepy? haha Anyhoo, I did a post yesterday about wood pallets and all the images came from Pinterest. You should pop by and check it out. We have the same bed in our post. Love that bed!! We’re not up to much this weekend. My hubby has to work both days. So the girls and I are going to make a cake and cook him dinner Sunday. Hope you have a great weekend. And get on that dinning room so I can see it. heehee

*Sorry if you end up with a bunch of the same comment from me. It’s not working!!
Sorry you’re having trouble commenting, Catie!! That’s majorly frustrating….hopefully it’ll work out soon. That’s wonderful that you’re baking and cooking for your husband. Those things are so simple but mean so much…we’ll be doing some of the same for our daddy. 🙂
We’re trying to work on the dining room…just pretty slow going with 2 little ones. I hope to get them out today so Matt can get his build on. Have a good one!
🙂
shaunna
I have to tell you that I definitely pinned your new Dining Room design the other day…love it!
I’m trying very hard not to become addicted or spend too much time pinning yet, but it is VERY cool. I’ve found that its really helping me to define my personal style as I look at my boards and see what I keep coming back to. Happy pinning!

Absolutely love Pinterest for visual bookmarking! I’m elisabethparker 🙂
I am actually on Pinterest, and I am always the LAST person to get with the picture!!! 🙂 I love it!! And any time someone repins something of mine it makes my day 🙂 This week I’ve been doing all kinds of projects around the house hoping to impress my hubby when he gets back from his fishing trip in Canada this Sunday! Last night I finished sanding all the holes I had filled in on the knotty pine wood paneling in the basement and hopefully I can get another coat of primer on tomorrow!! I can’t wait to see your dining room when you guys are done with it! 🙂
That sounds exciting!! Good luck with all that work…send me a pic when it’s done!
🙂

I’m hooked on Pinterest too! It’s such a source of inspiration. I love the photos you pinned above, especially that first kitchen. Totally yummy. You can find me there at http://pinterest.com/ninnyshouse/.

LOVE pinterest! Discovered it via another blog on the web [Cameras and Chaos]. Better than any other bookmarking/filing system to keep everything organized and digitally tidy. I am slowly building boards.

Yup! I’m addicted to Pinning. I started following you.
I’m in love with Pinterest too. It’s so addictive. You can follow me there, I have a link on my blog also.
OOH I can already tell I am going to love your pins and boards! 🙂 I might need to repin some of these. Here’s my info if you want to follow me..

Pinterest is pretty much the greatest thing on earth (okay other than my hubby, baby, and dog..), but seriously I am quite addicted. Can’t wait to find you and see what you are pinning! Nothing like talking about Pinterest to actually get me to comment on here…oops.
Xo,
Mallory
Love Pinterest…Have the Iphone and Ipad app just so I can pin while I am watching TV, I stopped playing games on my phone and now “pin”. http://pinterest.com/aletchworth/
I’m on Pinterest! It’s my guilty pleasure!
I am not that computer savvy. Is Pinterest the same thing as Tumblr? I have seen both of these mentioned in blogland. But it seems the majority of blogs I viewed liked Pinterest. If I may ask you, how do I search for fellow bloggers in Pinterest?
Hey Sheila! You’ll just want to go to Pinterest.com, and type their names in the search box. You may have to request an invite first, and then you’ll be emailed with your account/login info. You’ll love it!
🙂

Oh, by the way, I love your haircut that is in your profile picture.
Aw, and thanks so much for that!!
LOVE pinterest. It’s definitely a time-suck, but have found such great inspiration for everything from fabric and furniture to food and clothes! I just started following your pins – cant wait to see all the things you love.
My pinterest is http://pinterest.com/atd527/
Excited about the furniture party next week! I just slipcovered my sofa!
Found you! I’m so glad you’re excited…I am too!! Can’t wait to see everyone’s work!

I love Pinterest. Totally addicted, thanks to my cousin. Betweend Pinterest and your blog, and some of the links of your blog, and searching craigslist to find my own project starters, I have become a computer hog. You have beautiful things, and as a mother to an Ava also, I know a beautiful family
God Bless!
I’m so glad to ‘find’ you on Pinterest!!! I have a ball with it. But I actually don’t consider it a time ‘waster’. I just think of it as ‘research’. Right?

I’m on pinterest, come on over! 🙂
I’m addicted to pinterest too. I love being able to catalog great decorating and other tips.
I LOOOOOVE Pinterest. Following you now. 🙂
I don’t know how I ever survived without Pinterest. It is sooooooooo much better than saving links, or file images and then never finding them again.
I am ALL about Pinterest. It’s even more addicting than reading home decor and DIY blogs! I used to keep so many tabs open in my internet browser because I didn’t want to forget about things, but now I simply pin them to one of my boards. Easy-peasy, and my computer thanks me! Come visit me at http://pinterest.com/procrastinating/.
Hi Shauna –
Did you figure out how to add a Pinterest ‘follow me’ button? If not, let me know. I’m following your pin boards now. You have some great inspiration photos.
You can find my boards at: http://pinterest.com/weekendhomie/
Best Wishes,
Crystal
Thanks for the link to this.. I just requested an invite. If I might offer something in return, I use Houzz a lot. I can’t remember the URL (it’s probably something ridiculously simple like Houzz.com) but I have the app on my iPad, and I love it.
For the record, no, I have no affiliation with it. One of my clients insisted I get the app when he discovered I finally got an iPad… He said I wouldn’t be able to live without it. I have to say, he was right. It made me start actually working on my house… Which I’d only been thinking of doing since we moved in here 5 years ago.
so glad you’re on pinterest … its my new favorite way to save things – and quit having to email links to myself!!! can’t wait to see the DR update … love befores/afters!! 🙂
here is the link to my pinterest boards…
