DIY Inspiration Board

I didn’t have any major plans this weekend, the only thing I knew I wanted to do was spend some time reevaluating my goals. But, when I sat down to do actually do that, I couldn’t.

It was just too much.

It’s not that I don’t know what I want, or that I can’t see the big picture…

A list was just…boring.

So, I spent the weekend making a Pinterest board. Well, an inspiration board.

I printed images from Pinterest, prints that I plan to buy, inspirational images, motivational quotes, and tacked them to a giant cork board. This way as my dreams change and my goals are met, I change switch up what’s on my board.

I also added the Bannerie banner that I got in my Monarch Workshop goodie bag. Come on, YOU GOT THIS…fitting, right? How could I not?!

Happy Monday!

Pinspired.

I live on a college campus.

No, I am not in college.

I work in higher education as live-in professional. I won’t bore you with what that means (but please feel free to ask questions in the comments!), but I have a tiny apartment and while I can’t complain too much about it (#rentfree), I am not completely in love with it.

I mean, I don’t hate it.

I just don’t love it.

I want to love it.

Enter Pinterest. I am currently pinning images that I believe would make my apartment feel more like home. I want to start with my bedroom, because that’s where my desk is + so I spend most of my time there.

Follow Twenty Something Plus’s board Bedroom Wishlist on Pinterest.

Recently, I have across some boards that have just the feel + look that I am going for. The perfect pinspiration, if you will. If you aren’t following them, you should really check out these out!

And when all else fails, I just search through Apartment Thearpy.

I have expensive taste, but not so big a budget. I am thinking about DIYing a lot of projects for what I want in my space and sharing them. Also, some before + afters will be shared.
These Intagram photos of my place should hold you over until then. If not, you can always follow me on IG…

DIY: Two-Tone Chairs

This week I decided to tackle another DIY project from Pinterest. I have two old wooden chairs that were strictly for function, rather than aesthetics. I felt rather indifferent towards them, but after an Alt Summit and Better Homes and Gardens webinar session on color, I really wanted to take on something to make my apartment feel more like a reflection of me.

One thing of the many fabulous things that I took away from the session was that pink can be used as a neutral.

I had some left over paint from a Pinterest fail, so after exploring my Pinterest boards, I decided that these chairs had to happen.

I am happy with how they turned out, the only thing I’d change is the paint finish (I wish I’d had a glossier paint). But all things considering, for a $0 project, not half bad!
