Pinterest Love...

Have you hopped on the Pinterest bandwagon yet?   I have...big time. Overhead recently at our house: "Boys, stop asking about dinner, I'm pinning!"  I know, it's terrible, don't judge.  So when it came time to update the spring confirmed vendor page, I decided to try something new: I created a Pinterest board with images from each of our lovely vendors.  It's a pretty delicious feast of eye candy if I do say so myself.  Check it out:



I'll be updating the board as we add any new sellers to the mix so I do hope you'll follow along.  You can also follow the other Clover Market boards for plenty of ongoing design inspiration for the home.  And since I clearly enjoy Pinterest so much, I thought it might be nice to suggest a few design-related pinners that I enjoy following:

  • Blue Velvet Chair: a pinner focused on "creating the extraordinary from the ordinary through RE: cycling, RE: purposing, and RE: loving"
  • Brick House: love her dose of "modern design for frugal folks"
  • Canadian House and Home: by a landslide, my favorite design magazine
  • I'm always loving the finds from textile addicts Cloth and Kind and Co-Lab
  • Dec A Porter: interior design, decoration, and inspiration blogger
  • Of course I love pins from the creators of the wildly popular design blogs Decor8 and DesignSponge
  • Emily Hendersonfun finds from the host of Secrets From a Stylist
  • Erica Reitman Self-described as a "smartass design blogger who curses like a sailor, is addicted to Diet Coke, and can't stop watching bad reality TV".  I feel that.  Her blog is completely snarky and totally addictive.  
  • Katy Elliotta blogger currently renovating an old house in New England who focuses on the decoration and restoration of older houses
  • Joy Cho~Oh Joy: wildly popular designer, blogger, food enthusiast (and designer of the Clover market logo), Joy has an endless array of beautiful things popping up on her boards.
  • Layla Grace: from the LA-based retailer of furniture and decor
  • Lonny Magazine: who doesn't love Lonny Magazine which, by the way, is now getting ready to publish online monthly starting in May.  Yippee!
  • Making it Lovely ~ Nicole Balch: from the same-named design blog about living a stylish life and "transforming the so-so".  Right up my alley.
  • Poppytalk Handmade: From the Canadian design blog which collects inspiration and promotes emerging design talent.  I bow down.
  • SFGirlByBay: from San Francisco-based blogger Victoria Smith who is also a photographer, photo stylist, design junkie and "bona fine flea market queen"
  • West Elm: surprisingly good inspiration from the retailer of clean and simple
  • Young House Love: from the blogger who strives to "give thrifty homeowners the motivation and inspiration to turn their homes into places to love" 

And finally, I must give a shout out to joeyfivecents and hillaryocarroll who are most frequently busting me on Pinterest when I should be doing other important things.  Both have lovely pages which have been the source of many a repin.

  1. Thanks, Janet! Glad we can keep each other in check when we are losing track of important things like feeding our kids! Too much fun.
