Thanks for all of your feedback on the lanterns. Nothing like having 50 friends to help you decorate your house :) I decided against them for now, but I’ll post more on that next week.
Now, onto something that stresses me out less than house decisions. . . Pinterest! It really is like therapy, isn’t it? What I love most about it is that if you do enough clicking, you can wander upon some really great portfolios that you’ve never seen—like this one from designer Nichole Loiacono. Her work was recently featured in Adore Magazine, but I somehow missed it.

Start pinning! I’m working on my own Pinterest page, trying to get it cleaned up a bit and cataloging photos of my projects and our last house.
I’ve read a lot of great information lately—including this post—on how to use Pinterest along with your blog. I’m still stumped about StumbleUpon, though. . . Do you understand it? Do I need to use it?
Alright, enough of my ramblings. Hope you all have a great weekend. Come back Monday and you’ll see some changes around here. Like that little teaser?
Welcome to my new sponsor, Windows by Melissa!
I recently stumbled across her work also, I love her rooms, I think the world is speaking to me when it comes to lucite lately, that first photo of the bench at the end of the table is awesome!!
Pinterest has become my newest addiction. Where else can you go for interiors, recipes, hair and fashion advice and book recommendations all in one place?!
omigosh – you are so cute! love that first room with the jan showers bench (lucite legs) to die for. sorry the lanterns didnt work out.
and in true stalker style – ive already ‘followed’ you on Pinterest :)

I’ve recently started to explore the world of Stumbledupon. For now, I find it confusing but I’ll let you know if I have an epiphany anytime soon. I’ve read several articles that claim Stumbledupon drives more than 50% of social media traffic (here’s one: http://www.psfk.com/2011/11/the-life-cycle-of-a-web-page-on-stumbleupon-infographic.html)so I’m intriqued.
LOVE pinterest! It is TOTAL therapy. And I know I’ve probably said it before, but I LOVE reading your blog! Happy Friday!
I use Pinterest for my blog often! It’s gotten a lot of hits because of Pinterest, actually!
As for SU…I don’t know. I don’t feel like it’s as user/blogger friendly as Pinterest, FB, Twitter, etc. I also don’t think it’s as affective. HOWEVER, I am a much smaller blog than you are, so maybe you’d have some luck!
xo,

Awesome bench with lucite legs!
I am a total Pinterest addict. I am doing some post on my wardrobe for 2012 and the colors I want to add and I found all kinds of goodies and this morning I made some fun purchases.Sometimes it is not harmless, like this morning it cost me some Cash,lol!! Here is the link to my boards

I think over 6,000 pins merits the title of addict!! lol One of my guilty pleasures. I am going to go and take a look at your boards!! Kathysue
Awww, thanks sooooo much for feature. I really appreciate it! Makes a girl feel good! You ain’t too shabby yourself!
I am so addicted to Pinterest. Michael calls it my “Bible” I am always going to pinterest for inspiration and resources. I am following you now too!
OMGoodness – thank you for introducing me to those rooms! I am in love – I am so drawn to those rooms. Def great inspiration for my master that I want to re-do.
What can I say but, “Wow… wow… wow.” Love this post and all the photos. I am definitely going to check it all out. I am a Pinterest-aholic… do they have therapy for that? Oh, and BTW…. LOVE that houndstooth rug… GIMME!
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

I love her work as well, it’s just such fun and creative spaces and I really adore the mix of pink and grey in the bedroom.
Oh, and I am 100% obsessed with pinterest. I’m sometimes embarrassed by how much time I can spend on there without even realizing it.
Love pinterest – and i like the new header on your blog! I did see one of those pictures somewhere… that’s the thing! I start clicking and sometimes I forget where I’ve been — haha! Thanks as always for the inspiration :o)
Love Pinterest also…and those rooms are all gorgeous. I have some window treatments Melissa did for me (I still need to install!) & they are so pretty and well-made.
Her work is fantastic-thank you so much for sharing! And Pinterest is absolutely my therapy :)
xoxo,
Carly
Emily, love your new header & photo of you! Very nice.

Gah Pinterest is my new favorite Internet toy. It has almost completely replaced my magazine addiction ( which was accompanied by page ripping out, saving, and hard copy design notebooks). So much easier and faster! Love the new look of the site, BTW!!
My name is Kristin & I am a Pinoholic. Pinterest has been great as a blog referral for my site & I try & try with Stumble Upon & can’t get into it…. { the new look is fab, btw }

Oh my goodness…that Houndstooth rug!! Love.
So nice to meet you just found your beautiful blog and so happy I did. I have enjoyed looking around and I’m now following you, wonderful to meet new friends. Hope you find a spare minute to visit and follow me sometime if you like. Sending you special wishes for a wonderful New Year I’m looking forward to keeping in touch in 2012.
Always Wendy
I love love love your blog! I have been visiting your site and am your newest follower. :)
I look forward to being (further) inspired by you through your pinterest board! :D

Love the new blog design Emily…..hope you are feeling good :) And my advice to you is back away from Pinterest….Lord I can get in and get real stuck!!!
Ack — I joined StumbleUpon because someone told me I needed to, but I have no idea how to use it. Pinterest and blogs eat up enough of my time!
Love the clean new blog look! and your profile pic is crazy gorgeous, of course!
And I, too, fell victim to a recent Overstock coupon code!! I had that lantern in my cart recently, too. Didn’t pull the trigger. Did you ever check out Smart Bargains? Not near the inventory, but some good finds every now and then. Their daily barrage of emails rivals overstock tho…so annoying (and enabling!)
I love that gallery wall on the white brick. The bright aqua in the pictures really pops!
I have no idea what stumbled upon is…I just made a facebook page for goodness sakes! There’s always something new coming along.
