One of my goals for 2013 is to organize those areas of my home that I consider “rat’s nests.” The closets, junk drawers, etc. So, for inspiration, I turned to the one, the only, Pinterest. As I browsed storage ideas, organization tricks, “thrifty” home decor options, something happened. I started to feel…insecure. Inadequate. Less than. My home, not one square inch of it, looks anything like the pictures I see. It’s cluttered, dated, worn, scratched and definitely not a “Pin-Up” home. But you know what? It’s our home. And it’s full of love. It more than meets the needs of my little clan. So why, then, do I let a site like Pinterest make me feel dissatisfied?
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Why not bring a little reality to Pinterest? Why not pin images of real “storage” solutions in my own home? So maybe, just maybe, as another mom is browsing late at night, she’ll see a home that looks a bit like her own, and feel a little better. Or, she’ll say, “Wow, at least my house looks better than that!” I’m just here to help. 🙂 Enjoy! (Check out the entire board on Pinterest here.)
