Friday Pin

I've just discovered Pinterest ... and it appeals to my super-organised-retentive-hoarder instincts like nothing else I've discovered on the web. I love that as I've stopped buying magazines so much and started gathering my inspiration from all the lovely blogs out there I now have a digital version of the overstuffed file folder with torn out magazine pages.

And it's so much neater! No more piles of dog eared magazines waiting around for me to tear pages out, sort and file ... and then never look at ever again. I achieved it successfully for my wedding, but I had a deadline and once it was all done and dusted it was tossed without regret. Now I can safely throw out the two 55 litre plastic tubs stuffed full of magazines that I enjoyed and meant to process ... but haven't looked at for at least 6 years.

So ... after all that waffle if you're still reading, my plan is to post my favourite pin of the week regularly on a Friday to keep things interesting around here, seeing as renovation photo opportunities have been a bit few and far between!

I just love these gutter shelves, such a great idea for a nursery or playroom! Things are within easy reach and can easily be put away by kidlets without the books having to be specially balanced or stacked on top of each other.

You could also set them up so that they are at suitable heights for smalls of different ages ... board books at the bottom and picture books and novels away from baby fingers and crayons.
