Pinterest #21

Happy Friday! Ready for some Pinterest-provided eye candy? Let's begin.

Sometimes I play a game with Hubsey called "Guess What I Like In This Picture." I usually grill him about the Crate & Barrel catalog, so he was nice and prepared last night when I busted this image out. (For the record, I dig the beams and silver-trays-as-artwork. And the floors. Basically all of it.)


Now that my hair is getting Rapunzel-esque, I've been investigating real hairstyles to keep it out of my face while I work on my drafting final. This one is especially lovely:


We tried a new recipe over the weekend (since it's one of my goals to cook more this year), Thai chicken enchiladas. Not bad, but the sauce wasn't spicy enough for us:


This is a tutorial for making an iPad case out of some old fabric and a bubble envelope. I think a slightly smaller size would be good for a Kindle, too. If I try it, I'll be sure to let you know:


I found this kitchen makeover yesterday and it should be the #1 example people cite when sharing The Power of Paint. The only things they replaced were the appliances (whaaaat!), everything else just got a fresh coat:


So what neat-o stuff did you find on Pinterest this week? Or anywhere on the web, since I don't want to play favorites? Have any fun weekend plans? I have a bridal expo on Sunday at a historical venue, which I'm excited to see. I'll let you know how it goes!

  2. I also love those beams in that first photo! I'm also really into counter height tables as dining room tables and hope to have one someday.

    I blogged about a cocktail I pinned and tried!
