finally...big girl room underway

So here is the inspiration behind the big girl room I have planned for miss A. We are going to make our own headboard (finally decided this the other night after going back and forth between 2 beds that I liked but didn't LOVE love). The headboard thing will allow me to also play with some fun graphic fabrics. And also tack something else to do on my list! J O Y. So I'm planning on mixing some fun fabrics with a vintage feel to the room. I have bought that bookcase in the upper middle right in the collage for one wall and the twin bed will go on another. I've had a hard time committing to one idea, theme or color scheme thus far - so you are seeing it here. This is my committment, aqua, pink and what I call "wedding green" or pms 367. It's the color I used on my wedding invitation, the color I painted my kitchen...and so forth. Apparently I dig that color. There is a chair at pottery barn right now I'm considering that is similar to the one in the nursery that I like. And I like this green so much I think it's going to be the added color (maybe with some navy) to BBB's room. But first things first. What do you think?

just pin it!

Found my new addiction last night. Pinterest. Last week I ignored my friend Julie's request to join out of ignorance and simply because I didn't think I had enough time for any new website in my life. I was wrong. And then I saw someone mention it on good ole FB. So I quickly checked it out on my super fast new computer. And I was instantly hooked. I do my own cataloging of things I find on the internet for inspiration/ideas/projects - but my system is horrible! just a whole bunch of saved images. Half of the stuff I save I can then no longer remember where it was from, least of all, find it again. I also bookmark sites to my favorites, but that is a mess and takes forever to find things, too. Pinning is where it's at. You can pin it, then pick a board to put it on, and then it saves the link and everything. It's all neat and organized. And if you have good taste, you can proudly look upon all your little pinned items with joy! Until you do it, I don't think I can explain it thoroughly. Send me a shout if you need an invitation. Not sure how exclusive this site is, but it's what the cool kids are doing these days. Here are a few things I've pinned for example. You can follow me (like twitter) - I'm TwoPunksPaper on both. Only 24 hours ago I didn't know what I was missing and today on my phone I was bummed that I hadn't had the app loaded and ready to go so I could pin on the go as well! Do you pin?

so check it out.

This cute diddy I repinned from Jules. I could totally make this for AB's room.

This scarf looks fun and summery! Love it - just not sure how fun-lovin' houston is for scarf wearing in the humidity!

This is my inspiration for AB's new room. This could be a whole post on it's own. Don't expect this to be the finish product though - just a little inspiration. From the Quadrille fabrics site. I'm obsessed. Haven't closed this website page all week. B/c apparently I fear it will combust.

This is a gorgeous and simple bouquet. Love the use of the succulents. Hens and Chicks? Can't remember what type, but my neighbor has some and this might have just put the fire in my pants to go steal a few "chicks" one late night...
