A Pinteresting August

Living Room Printable

We have had THE weirdest summer around here...cold days and lots of rain have rendered all the warm fuzzy summery sentiments on printables...useless. But I did find and love this one for August - especially because the burlap and yellow look match the living room so well! Love the simple, classy look. Here was my pinspiration. 

Bathroom Storage Cabinet

I pinned this one forever ago...and we didn't do a DIY version, but we did elect to scrap the totally impractical decorative towel holder that DID Hang over the toilet in Ryan's bathroom in favor of a similar looking storage cabinet - for both presence AND functionality. Here was my pinspiration.

Burger Buffet

Here's where I got the idea for our "burger buffet" we served when we had our family over for a cookout! Everyone gets to dress up the burger just the way they like it! Our buffet offered cheese, onion, green pepper, tomato, lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. We would have added mayo but we forgot to buy it.  Whoopsie.  Here was my pinspiration.

Back to School Quote

When I did a back to school mantel...and no one in our house was actually going back to school, I had to come up with an appropriate quote for my little white board. This was it! Here was my pinspiration.

Mantel Letters

I loved these letters so much - and fully intended to cover them in paper like the pin showed - but I ended up leaving mine the plain brown they came in. LOVED the final look. Here was my pinspiration.

Back to School Mantel

I was inspired by the cup of pencils, the quote on the chalkboard and the apple in this pin - which I used {in similar ways} on my own, as seen above. I wanted to use the books but ran out of room! :) Here was my pinspiration.

Stove Cleaning

There is a possibility that one evening, we had a little boiling-over situation on our stove. It was the first real mess like that since we got our ceramic top stove. We tried the cleaner that came with it and it didn't really help, so I did what anyone would do...checked Pinterest! Found a great list of things to try and after combining a few...it got cleaned! Here was my pinspiration.
