I've mentioned Pintrest before and my home design posts would be a loss without this fabulous discovery. For those of you that have not joined the Pintrest craze, Pintrest is a virtual pin board that lets you save ideas in one easy to navigate location. It's the clean, clutter free, organized, categorized rendition of cutting pictures from magazines and pinning them to a cork board. Awesome for Type A personalities like myself. See a living room you love on HGTV.com, Pin it. See a cake recipe that would be perfect for your son'a birthday party in a few months, Pin it. See a way to make a DIY version of the wreath you saw at Pottery Barn, Pin it. It saves a picture from the site and links you directly to the page where you found the amazing idea. You can even follow friends ideas to enhance your creativity. Pin it and refer back to it.
I have boards from Living Room to Bathrooms, Recipes to Kiddo. I even got my husband on the bandwagon as he frequently finds items to Pin to my account. It has made our anal-retentive power point presentation a cinch to organize and a way to share and criticize discuss ideas with one another.
Our trip to the design center in just over a week will consist of picking out the flooring, tiles, cabinetry, ect. Here are some examples we're using to show so that we can help narrow down our ideas and decide what we can do with what they have to offer. Makes an otherwise overwhelming situation so simple!
