Pinterest Challenge

I noticed some bloggers have been challenging themselves to actually complete a project inspired by something they saw on Pinterest. I decided to give it a go. My sister-in-law has a passport with many, many stamps in it and she often sends fun and interesting postcards to my son. We needed a place to display them and when I saw this alphabet board on Pinterest, I had to replicate it.



I think it's super cute! I put it in the mudroom so we could all enjoy looking at the postcards. The metal pan was $9.99 from Autozone. We used a $3.99 can of brake cleaner to clean off the grease. Matt hung it with a couple of screws. Ta da!! Now all I need is more magnets.

Decorating and design

I'm working on accessorizing our family room and dining room. My focus has been the open shelving in the tv armoire and the cabinet above the buffet. Here's what I've got so far.

A dusting of lilies

The flowers have been amazing this year! Hundreds of lilies. I'm so pleased that last year's landscaping project turned out so well. The iceberg roses have exploded as well.
