Hello, friends! Where do you find inspiration and ideas? I find it on blogs, pinterest, instagram, magazines, books, and more. There’s so much creativity and talent floating around the web and I’m constantly in awe of what I see.
Today I’m starting a new series where I’ll be sharing things that have inspired me or caught my eye in the past week or so. I’m calling it “The A-List”. Not very original, I know, but Angie’s List was already taken and I didn’t want any problems with trademark infringement!
Anyway, here are some things that caught my eye recently! Please visit each site and pin from there.
Favorite Blogs
My dear friend Laurie at Vinyetetc, is so talented as a photographer and stylist. And she has the most amazing collection of cool vintage items. I always love what she posts, and recently she shared a clever idea for making round labels like the one on the gorgeous green bottle in the photo below.
Hop over to her blog and see her simple tutorial here → DIY – round labels on vintage bottles
Jamie at anderson + grant has taken on the huge challenge of renovating a fixer upper. She recently shared the reveal of her living room makeover and it’s stunning. You won’t believe how this room used to look. It doesn’t even look like the same space!

I’m always on the lookout for beautiful paint colors and this one from Juniper Home is stunning! They used Benjamin Moore Caldwell Green in this mudroom/laundry room project and it’s so pretty.

What I’m reading:
One of my goals for this year is to read more. I enjoy it so much and am vowing to make more time for it. I just finished reading “Where the Crawdads Sing” and loved it.
And I’m always trying to find ways to keep the house and myself organized. I started reading “Decluttering at the Speed of Light” last year and need to reread it and get back on the decluttering and organizing train.

Fabulous Finds:
New and useful products always make me happy. Here are a couple that I’ve seen recently:
Peel and Stick Paint Samples
These peel and stick paint samples are such a great idea. You order the sample and stick it to your wall to get an idea of how it would look in your space, with your lighting. It’s like painting a sample but involves no paint or brushes. Many colors are available and they’re removable! They come in 12″ x 12″ sizes and in sets of 6. Various sets are available and they’re made with 2 coats of real paint.
Sustainable Swaps
Are you trying to use more sustainable items in your day to day living? I’ve put together over 30 items that you can use in your home and day to day life that are earth-friendly and create less waste. See my recommendations here: Sustainable Lifestyle Picks
