These are all so gorgeous. Once we decide to buy a house, having a nice open kitchen is going to be on the top of my list. I like bright colors in a kitchen. It makes it more comfortable and friendly.
I got the chickies last week. Thank you! There's so cute and perfect for Easter.
Yay! I am so glad you like the chickies! I adore a bright kitchen. I used to have a yellow kitchen and I loved it. In my new house I went with a very light blue, but the kitchen opens up to the family room and that room is yellow. I also used pops of yellow in the kitchen like the light fixture and our old fashioned phone.
Basic blogger etiquette involves crediting photo sources. Simply saying "all via pinterest" is lazy and dishonest. Your blog is a joke. The pictures are pretty but posts like this are lazy and do nothing but destroy any credibility you could hope to have.
Yes, I was being lazy. It's true. But the link takes you to my Pinterest board where every single one of these pictures are linked. Could I have had a link under each photo? Sure. But I think having a link to the links is just fine.
You think wrong. How would you feel if someone posted YOUR original work and in order for YOU to get credit for it, people had to search through a massive pinboard and match up pictures? What you did was lazy, rude, and conveniently very self serving. You lost a long time reader and I sincerely hope you lose more. There are plenty of legitimate unlazy bloggers writing better, less lazy, and more original content that I would rather support.
I spend a lot of time pinning things and this post was, in addition to being lovely to look at and inspirational, was also a way to advertise my Home Decor pinboard. Hence why I linked to it and not each picture individually. As for someone posting my original work and having it linked back to pinterest, I have no problem with that. I subscribe to the theory that once I put something up on the world wide web it is fine for anyone to use. I am very free and open about my information because I believe if you put it out there then it will come back to you.
I also think it is silly to always directly link back to where I found things. For example, the first photo of the maps was uploaded by the user to pinterst. The second photo was from Apartment Therapy who got it from Elle Decor who got it from pointclickhome.com. There is NO LINK from Elle Decor to pointclickhome. So if Elle Decor isn't always linking directly back to things, why should I? Why should I link to Apartment Therapy? They are just doing what I did- reposting a gorgeous photograph.
The third link was a dead link. No reason to post it. The fourth was to a blog that got that photo from some place else- no link. And so on and so forth.
I know all about linking sources. I usually do. For example when I use an image from My Vintage Vogue, I link it. But in this day and age, it is getting harder and harder to find an original source. If major magazines aren't doing it then this little blogger isn't doing it either.
And I agree with you: there are plenty of better bloggers than I- goodness knows I follow over 200!
