Urban Grace Interiors {the blog} bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Erika and this is my blog.  You might have come here from my old blog- if so please update your feed or bookmark the new site... I promise it'll be much better than the old blog.  If you are new around here welcome!  I'm so glad you are here.  A little background on me: I am a new mom to a precious little girl, a designer, a wife, and the mother of two rescued dogs (Penelope & Paisley).  I am passionate about design, and I also enjoy gardening, good pens, art, photography, antiques, traveling, and rescued animals. 

If you are curious about my design business, Urban Grace Interiors, you can click that link above titled "Portfolio" that will take you to official website.  This blog is just my daily ramblings... some of which are design related, and some of which are not.  I hope you like what you find here... I aim to inspire.

 

 

we pin

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Posted in pinterest

Hello and Happy New Year!

Did you have a wonderful holiday?  I do hope so.

Someone asked in a previous post if we are on Pinterest.  Of course we are, we love pinterest. I’ll link each of our names to our pinterest pages, in the event you want to follow us.

(If you have no idea what I’m talking about… Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board.  An awesome site for people to organize ideas and images they find online.  If you aren’t a member you need to find a friend who is and they will send you an invitation.  Beware, it’s addictive.)

and our beloved intern, Anne Scott, who is the Pinterest Queen.

Are you on pinterest?  Leave us a link in the comment section so we can follow you!

January 3, 2012 - 3:10 pm Lauren@BaylorSays... - Oh I totally follow you. And I always remember you saying that you never go back and look at your own pins, so when I see a good one I think "oh no! she's not going to remember that!" :-) http://pinterest.com/baylorsays/ I'm trying to be more exciting and upload my own stuff instead of just re-pinning. Happy New Year!

January 3, 2012 - 5:07 pm bevy - Um, yeah, you weren't kidding about Anne Scott being the pinterest queen! Over 3000 pins? Wow! I'd spend a day going through her pins! (Yes, I would go through all of them because I'm that detailed oriented, haha.) I'm kind of a weird pinner. I pin as if they're charging me money per pin. I mean, there's lots of cool things to pin, but I always ask, do I really need it? (yes, can we talk about clutter issues here?)

December 15, 2011 - 3:01 pm paige - love the lists!!

December 15, 2011 - 3:16 pm Krissy - Love the lists. And prayers to Wendy and her family for their very sad loss! Dogs are part of our families and what a tragic way to lose part of your family. I teared up a bit reading her story. So, so sad.

December 15, 2011 - 3:52 pm Jenny P - So happy to see all the Facebook posts! How do you guys make those cool little photo collage things? What software/website do you use? Thanks!

December 15, 2011 - 3:59 pm GRACE HAPPENS - forwarding your lists over to the hubs right now:) congrats to the winners! my heart goes out to wendy.

December 15, 2011 - 4:36 pm coastalmom - Many thoughts for Wendy at the loss of her dog. Such a sad and tragic loss. Leigh Ann you are doing an awesome job on the FB updates. I'm loving the project pictures and the pink office Christmas tree.

December 15, 2011 - 4:41 pm JWK - My list just got a little longer!! Hugs to Wendy and her girls.

December 15, 2011 - 4:54 pm Emily M. - So, so sad! Tough stuff. :( Love the wish lists! however, I am curious to know why in the wide world is that camera strap 168 bones!?

December 15, 2011 - 6:01 pm Anne W - Wait, I thought the giveaway closed today???!!! I thought I had 6 more hours!! :( I was trying to come up with a really good answer because I really wanted to win!!!

December 15, 2011 - 7:07 pm Shelley - AWESOME LISTS! And my prayers to Wendy. So terrible and during the holidays. God Bless her and her family.

December 15, 2011 - 8:43 pm Dee - Those Steve Madden boots are at TJ Maxx. Love them!

December 16, 2011 - 8:14 am hnorman - could you explain E on Allison's list? is that Samford Hall?

December 16, 2011 - 10:01 am hush - There is a great deal to be had on the Moon and Lola monogram necklace (Leigh Ann's item J) - if you buy it direct through the Moon and Lola website, use code REALDEAL for an approximate $9 discount. It was featured in this month's Real Simple mag. I got a small one for myself in tortoise shell with gold chain. ;) Will be a great Valentine's Day gift.

December 16, 2011 - 11:55 am Whitney - I'm overwhelmed by how much I would like to have all of these things. ALL of them!

December 17, 2011 - 8:10 am Kelley - Ladies! As always, thanks for the inspiration! How I love Marcel the Shell! {hugs} to Wendy and her family.

December 18, 2011 - 10:50 pm Brandy - Do you have any clever, fun ways to display Christmas cards?

December 22, 2011 - 1:43 pm Jennifer - Wow. Some of the stuff I saw on the society6 site was pretty offensive.

December 30, 2011 - 7:53 am Muraca Design - Love the selections. Huge fan of Marcel the Shell!! And love the vintage picks. On a heartfelt note.. so sorry for Wendy's tragic loss. This holiday season we discovered our 10 year old dog only has a few months left. Dogs are family.

January 4, 2012 - 11:03 am Wendy - Thanks to everyone for their kind comments. The picture of the girl and the black dog now hangs in my daughter's room. It is a sweet reminder of our little guy who we dearly love and miss.
