I joined Pinterest.



I totally wasn't going to, but I caved. I figure it's as good a way as any to while away these blazing hot summer days. And my goodness, there are some pretty things out there on the internet. I had no idea.

Which brings me to my question for today: Is it possible to make my sort of cottage-y (if you squint really hard) 1970's ranch house in the desert look like this? Cuz that would really be swell.

i'm loving all the cottages you're posting. i totally think you could pull this off. grammy might need to come visit to help you, she is wonderful at cottage gardens, making a house look charming, etc! :)

If your house looks like that, can I come visit? :) I'm glad you joined... you have such fantastic taste! Pinterest has saved me from the hot West Texas heat too. Will fall ever come?

I'm in east Texas. I sweat just getting my mail every afternoon. Pinterest inspires me and passes the time. Love it!

Paint? Because certain areas of Arizona have these rules about how much lawn and shrubs and plants you are allowed to have...due to water restrictions...

Carla said...

Nope..not possible!
Charming cottage, though. :)

I've had to take a break from Pinterest because it's a time stealer. I couldn't help peeking at what you've been pinning...I'm a new fan. (And a new fan of your blog.)
