I get in crazy ruts when I look at pinterest too long! The best feeling is when I truly let myself play and not care how it turns out, or what anyone else thinks. My personal voice is in there somewhere!!! Thanks for reminding me of this and for reaffirming that we are allowed to be-and should be- different!!!

It was so great to meet you in person at SNAP. You are even more craptastic than I thought you were!!!

So often we are able to take our own spin on someone else’s amazing idea! I live how you see something like this and them it makes you look at things in a different light, just like lif, huh?!
Great lamps and post!! Pretty sure we had a set growing up, figures now I can appreciate the look!!!

Great score for $8! I also love how you arranged those flowers and the photo with the flowers in the foreground and lamps in the background. You must have some AWESOME thrifting haunts where you live.

My dilemma is simply that I truly love many, many different styles and colors and patterns…I can pin five radically different rooms and love and want to live in each of them! However, the longer I look for inspiration, the more I discover what makes my style unique and original, and the less copycatting that I think I do. Sometimes I look back over pins or blogs I used to like and realized that they don’t truly express my uniqueness and individuality.
Sometimes you just have to give yourself permission to like what you really like, too. I’ve always loved gold, but when brushed silver was “in” I felt like I didn’t have permission to like it…I’m realizing now that I just need to stay true to my own tastes and not worry about what other people might think 🙂

It may not be any type of style but it is my style and thats what matters. I have always said to surround yourself with the people you love and the things that you love and what makes you happy. My home hugs me like a warm comfy blanket on a cold night, it is unique and different just like me. Love your blog Mandi, you are such a sweetie, hugs Tobey

As I peruse pinterest, magazines, home decor show, etc….. I often think to myself that is “too perfect” or “too trendy” for me. This was a great reminder, that although I am neither perfect nor trendy, I can be inspired. Thanks!!!

Even though I’m not crafty, I do look for inspiration in posts and writing styles but want to make sure I keep my own voice. 🙂
