Inspiration...Pinterest style

Oh hey...it's me, popping back into the blog scene after a long hiatus. I'm in the midst of a spring cleaning kick...or perhaps it's more like a strong desire to simplify our life, including the unnecessary things that have accumulated in our house.

I have a large pile of clothes, shoes and accessories waiting for our next fashion swap.

And my dining room is full of unwanted, outgrown items that I'm hoping to donate and/or sell.

I cannot really explain it, but when things are orderly, I am much more at peace. Content in my surroundings, and better able to enjoy the life we've built together.

As I work to purge the unnecessary clutter, I have a clean slate for new inspiration...and that's where Pinterest comes in. In the past few months, I've been pinning DIY projects I'd like to tackle to spruce up our abode. Simple, artistic, functional projects that bring me joy. I cannot wait to try my hand at these (and would love to hear about any DIY projects you have been inspired by):
