It turned out to be a snowy night. I have myself seated on the deep plum-colored velveteen couch in the room I call the East Wing. I can see the snow falling through lace curtains, mocking the beginnings of my “spring” cleaning and the wish to hang laundry on the clothesline. By morning the ground will be white…again.
But what’s the use of complaining about weather? There’s nothing we can do about it, so we might as well find some comfort in it. In the cozy cocoon of the East Wing I decided to conduct a review of my Pinterest boards. There’s stuff there I forgot all about and opening those links it made it feel like Christmas (especially with the snow falling outside!), unwrapping each treasure as if it were new.
I have a piano in my parlor that I don’t use much. What do you think of transforming it into something like this?

How about this display for my hand-poured beeswax taper candles?

Of course you can’t forget to pin some inspiring recipes. This Onion Fried Chicken recipe was a real winner with Husby and me. And it isn’t fried at all!

So tonight, as the wind blows and the ground is refreshed with yet another covering of cold, wet snow I’ll sit in my little East Wing, get re-inspired, and start fresh tomorrow.
I don’t obsessively pin things on Pinterest, but if you’d like to see what inspires me you can find my boards here.
