What I'm Loving Wednesday and Oh, How Pinteresting

Today, for the first time, I'm linking up with The Vintage Apple for Oh, How Pinteresting and have included a little What I'm Loving Wednesday as well.  

I'm loving that College Football season is almost here; Jeff and I are so ready!  I've mentioned before, our whole courtship occurred over college football season; it really is our favorite time of year.  I got our football season mantle almost put up today; here's a picture from last year.

I'm loving these game day outfits from Ellie Crimson and trying not to buy every single houndstooth thing I see in the stores.  I miss being able to find Alabama attire on a whim!

For one final Alabama-themed love, I'm loving that our dear friends from Tuscaloosa  Gordo are coming to visit us tomorrow!  I know technology has pros and cons, but one great pro for me is the ease of keeping up with our Alabama framily.  I can't wait to spend the next few days with Scott, Kaye and the kiddos.  

Because Jeff and I are trying to get rooms set up to do foster care, most of my pinning searches these days revolves around "Shared Bedrooms" and "Refinish Furniture."

I love the orderliness of this room; I'm not totally in love with it, but like the functionality and clean lines!  

I would love to make a fabric covered cork board to use as a head board of sorts behind their beds.  Trying to make the rooms gender neutral as well as inviting has proven difficult for me.  

I really want to redo the chest of drawers we have a fun color like the bottom piece, but with the stained wood top similar to the top piece.  I'm not sure if kids would enjoy it so much, though.  We're trying to make decisions.  I love that look, though!
