Procrastination is the name of the game today. I could be cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, baking something, and accomplishing many many other productive things while the kids are napping. But instead I am wasting away the precious naptime hours on Pinterest. Pinterest... you may be thinking... what's that? My friends, let me tell you-- Pinter-YES! If you want to waste away the precious productive hours of your day to find totally inspiring pictures, recipes, and DIY ideas then you will request an invite immediately and start pinning away... It is totally addicting... but oh so much fun. Today I bring you a plethora of ways you could incorporate stripes into your home... all courtesy of Pinterest... of course.
Let's start with more striped curtains. These ones are a bit more subtle than the ones I just made...
How about stripes on a throw pillow or two? Check out the pink ones in this kitchen :)
How about a striped couch... if you're feeling a bit more daring.
I LOVE striped area rugs. I think they look amazing... however, they can be pretty pricey. I found the one in Caleb's room for $15 at Ikea one day a few years back, but haven't seen them there since. If anyone ever finds a great deal on striped area rugs... let me know!
I would love to find a black and white one like this...
But I guess if you're on a really tight budget you could always paint stripes on your floor :)
Or on your ceiling...
Or the walls. I love the striped walls in these nurseries. If you don't know what to put up on the walls... just add some stripes!
And how about this entryway...
And there you have it... the best stripes in all of Pinterest-land. The links to all of these images came from here. Should you decide to take the plunge and join Pinterest... feel free to follow me... you should do it... I know you want to.
Anyone else out there like stripes as much as I do? Are you bold enough to paint them on your walls... or do you like your stripes in small doses on a throw pillow? Do share!!

I am a small dose girl with a real longing to be brave enough to be bold with them. I'm a little scared how much time I am about to spend on this new site :)
i find it addicting... and with every picture i wish my home looked as picture ready and perfect :) i love the striped area rugs too. and i am itching to make some of those book shelves in the boys room.
I have also always been a fan of bold stripes. I'd TOTALLY paint stripes on my walls! :)
I've heard a lot about this "pinterest" business... just not sure I can add anymore 'time-wasters' to my busy life. But who knows... the curiosity might just get the best of me :)
