Pinterest DIY ideas

You know what Wednesday means....another Pinterest inspired post.

Linking up with Michelle over at The Vintage Apple.

Today's pinterest will be a little different.

Monday will be my beautiful Momma's birthday...and I've already told her not to read this post, because I am blogging about what I should get/make her.

See my mom never wants or needs anything...she always likes anything you get her, but she would rather us spend our money on things we need or want.

She's a good momma like that.

Anyway...my mom LOVES to make stuff, she's crafty, that one...and she has really been having the "Let's go to old antique stores that smell real bad and the floors creek and weird old creepy dolls just stare at you as you walk by and see if we can find something to makeover"

Don't get me wrong, I do love old things and making them into new things, but sometimes I'd rather go to Target or something where things are already in the state you want to purchase them.

Some of my mom's latest ideas have come from this show which she absolutely loves...Junk Gypsy. It's on HGTV..and it's pretty cool what these ladies come up with. They did Miranda and Blake's wedding reception and from the pictures and what I heard...it was amaze-balls. 

With all that being said...here are some Pinterest finds, I think would be easy for Moi to make...and super cute.

These may be just more for me...I do always do that, buy my mom something...and get it for me too.

Mason Jar wine glasses

Picture frames...who couldn't use more picture frames, right?

I've pretty much decided that I'm making these chairs...you buy the kit at Home Depot and you can paint them whatever color you want...my mom is always looking for some fun outdoor chairs.

Ali Dee from Texas Women

Maybe a rustic book shelf...

My Mom loves her coffee...

I think these are a good start...what are some good ideas??

Channeling Martha

I realized that after I posted all my new year's resolutions...I decided I had more.

I mean, it's ok if you have like 20 or so resolutions, right?

New Year...a year to do whatever your little heart desires...that's the way I look at it.

So, what does my heart desire you may ask...besides Matthew McConaughey or just a tall, God-fearing, OSU LOVING, Two-stepping, southern man??

(if you know of one, please send him my way)

Well...it's pinterest.

Yes, my heart desires to FINALLY make all those DIY projects I have in my board. Mainly the ones where I re-do my bedroom.

I have been wanting to re-do my bedroom for quite sometime now, actually I never really decorated when I moved in. I have lived in my house now for 4 years. You would think at some point I would have decorated my room.

I guess it's hard, because I still rent...yes, I know..I am just throwing money into the air...I think maybe this could be the year I buy a house?? You never know.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand...my bedroom and pinterest.

Here are a few bedrooms I have pinned

I like classic and feminine.

Things that I want:

An upholstered headboard.

An Anthropologie duvet

So, since one of my main resolutions is to save a little cha-ching, cha-ching...I've taken to pinterest...

in hopes to make these

Custom headboard

my very own version of an anthropogie duvet

A ruffled lamp shade?

Throw pillows

I am going to channel my inner Martha...not the Martha that goes to jail, but the Martha that sews and cooks and stuff.

Also, I will probably end up recruiting my mom and maybe try and convince my nana to drive up here...I need all the help I can get with le sewing machine.

Wish me luck ladies!

T.G.I.F

T.G.I.F. is all I have to say!

Do y'all remember how back in the day, like way back in the day...when T.G.I.F. didn't mean getting off work for a couple of days and having the weekend to sleep in, if your lucky, but it meant Friday night TV? You know what I'm talking about. See, I like to say I was an 80's kid...but really, I was just made in the 80's, 1984 to be exact but I grew up in the 90's. You follow me?

T.G.I.F to me, as a 90's kid, meant Friday night TV line up(this is probably where my love for TV started, just sayin')

Full house anyone? Uncle Jesse...hot Uncle Jesse!

Oh, the Hawaii episode, my favorite.

How about a little, "Did I dooo that?" from Urkle



Everyone loves Suzanne Somers, right?



Who didn't have a crush on Cory's best friend Shawn?



Seriously, those were the days. Not a care in the world...just kick back and watch good quality tv that always had some lead character have a moral conflict but it was solved at the end of thirty minutes. If only life were that simple.

Now in 2011, little Michelle sells alligator bags for 40,000 dollars a piece, who would have thought about that? Uncle Jesse is still as hot as always.

In other news, I have been wanting a new phone cover...something along these lines



and I almost order me one until I stumbled across this find on pinterest

A DIY phone cover...since I have been feeling pretty craft these days, I thought no problem...I can so make me one. Well, let me just tell you...trying to cut paper around those little bitty holes on your phone is a pain in the ass.

However, I did follow through with it and this is my outcome

Not to bad, if I do say so myself.

That is all...I'm off to actually do so work

OSU has a game this weekend, so GOOOO POKES!!!!

Oh Monday, why do you come so soon.

Hey girls! Hope the weekend was great for all of you. Mine was very productive, well that is after a Friday night spent in bed medicated on wine and ibuprofen .

I think the wine made everything better.

I have started running again getting ready for an upcoming 5k and also gearing up to start training for my first half-marathon.

Well, I have no idea what I did...maybe I am just so out of shape, but I have seriously hurt my back. I think a combination of running and my bad posture I now have from having a desk job are all factors in my back being jacked up.

Therefore I spent Friday night drinking some wine and laying on a heating pad(that didn't work but maybe I didn't realize that because of the wine) and watching bridezillas.

Exciting, right?

All you runners out there, any and all advice is welcome in getting over my back injury and just any running advice is welcome all together.

Saturday I actually did something useful with my time.

Shopping

It's what I do best, well what my mom and I do best.

Afterwards,I decided to actually put my countless hours spent on Pinterest to use and with the help of my mom, we made one of my "pins".

This OSU wreath, well it wasn't titled an OSU wreath, but that's what I decided it should be

I think it turned out pretty dang good, if you ask me.

See, my time spent not working or cleaning or sleeping or running is actually productive.

Yay, for Pinterest.

Oh, one more thing. I was asked to bring an appetizer to a baby shower on Saturday, I said I would help with a few things. I have no clue what to bring. Any of you ladies have some great appetizer recipes or could be a dessert or just whatever you think is good for a baby shower...any and all ideas are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks loves!
