Pre-Friday Pinspiration No.1: Subtle Colors in Design

June 14, 2013

Have I mentioned how much I’m grateful for Pinterest? As much as it can become a time consuming vortex, I still find it to be one of the best tools on the Internet. Because before it, my closets and shelves were buried with a bunch of magazine pages that I’ve ripped out for inspiration, but organizing them turned into an overwhelming mess instead of inspirational. Don’t get me wrong, I still have my binders that I’ve started since the 90’s (I get a good laugh and at the same time cringe when I look at some of the furniture and decorating styles that were trending back then…mostly dark/traditional, country or cottage chic or rustic…), but thanks to pinterest, it helps keep my inspiration clippings mess at bay and in a categorically organized way that truly inspires me at a quick glance. ALSO, I’ve finally managed how much time I spend on there – no more than a 30 minutes a week, thanks to my iPhone. Hopefully you’re inspired by some of my favorite pins this week. You can follow my boards right here for more inspiration.
