Inspiration Board: Living Room

As an artist before I even start sketching I find images that inspire me. I've been doing this for the house on a cool website called Pinterest, you can virtually pin images from websites in one place. Since I started this my mind has changed a few times on what to do in each room so who knows what the finished product will look like. For now I put this board together to show the feel that I want to have in the living room; French provincial mixed with rock n' roll (I can get that to work, I think...). We already have the lamp and chair to the right. We're getting crafty and recycling pieces to use throughout the house, finding pieces for cheap or free. My mom has already started upcycling pieces for us to use (but that's for another post).  

Picture Heavy: 1000 Words

I've neglected the blog long enough, I said I'd have an update by the weekend or early this week. Tuesday's still considered early week, isn't it?

It's been a good day, there's squash for a casserole tonight cooling in the kitchen, another half pot of coffee brewing, I swear coffee is slowly becoming a midday addiction and I'm giving my Google account a workout with several simultaneous picture and music uploads. I received my Google Music invite giving me instant access to all my music anywhere with a computer or smartphone, though that could be for another blog altogether. Slowly but surely my Facebook and Twitter are falling by the wayside and I'm going full Google. 

The meat of today's post is giving those reading a taste of what the house has to offer. I hope you enjoy and any advice is welcome. I'll try and take everyone on a virtual tour. 

The yard. Close enough to a white picket fence and I think it comes with 2.5 children.
