Jill's Playground: Home Pics

Hello. My name is Jill. and I'm a pinterestaholic. I check it for a few minutes daily. And for a few hours every time I work a night shift. I love it. Years and years ago, back at Utah State University (go aggies!) I wanted to major in interior design. I did for a couple years until I started to have to actually put in some major effort. Then I got scared I'd end up working retail at RC Willey (not that there's anything wrong with that) so I switched my major to something even more useless. But that is another story... The point is... I love to make things pretty. Especially since I have been stuck inside these wall all day for 6 years as a mostly stay at home mommy. What is the point of all of this? Well... I'm a little obsessed with decorating our home also. I'm limited by funds. I'm also severely limited by 3 kids 6 and under. but I try. I thought I'd put pictures of my efforts.

So... enough talk. Time to peer into my windows and see what the Shields' home looks like.

Our Front Room

It's hard to get a good picture of the colors in this room. The orange looks brighter than it is because of my flash but if I take the flash off, there is too much backlight from the windows.

our eating area

our kitchen I recently repainted and have not put up any window treatments yet. We also would really love some granite countertops and a tile backsplash. hmmmm someday.

My new plate wall. LOVE!

This is Mason's room that I recently repainted. (I learned how to paint flawless stripes on.... you guessed it... Pinterest!) He loves it!

The kids bath in the basement

Our room
Please ignore the bent curtain rod. Thats what you get when you have 3 little terrors! As a matter of fact, I had my own 3 little ones plus 4 of their friends here and I banished them to the basement so I could get some pics without naked barbies and light sabers in the background!
