I have become increasingly bored with normal "store bought" things....thanks to Pinterest. I sometimes sit around and wonder how I ever came up with an idea before I discovered this phenomenal website. I suppose I drew my creativity from {gasp} magazines. Better Homes and Gardens, HGTV's Do It Yourself Magazine (one of my fave's), House Beautiful, Elle Decor...I could go on and on. I could not leave the grocery store without a new one. I honestly believe that this is what started my obsession with decorating. I remember looking at the enormous JCPenny Catalog as a little girl, dreaming about the things I would have when I had a real job and my own money. Funny how things have not changed that much now that I have a real job. I bought my first house in July 2010 and suddenly realized if I wanted my house to look even remotely close to my beloved magazines, I would have to do it myself. Thanks go Google, you can figure out how to do pretty much anything under the sun. One of my first....and favorite....projects was the headboard for my guest room. It is actually a fairly easy project...once I figured out how to hang it on the wall. That took a few trips to my local hardware store. {

So here is a picture of my very first one:
