Posted in My Life | Photography
After I professed my love for pinterest.com on Facebook, I had a lot of people ask me what it is and why it is so great. I was surprised by how many people didn’t know about it and so I thought I should share the news with all of you. Warning: You may become addicted.
Pinterest is a website where you can organize images of things you like into different categories (or themed boards).
Here’s a screenshot of one my boards full of images with ideas on how to display images in your home:
You can pin any image that you find online or upload from your hard drive. You can also follow boards that you find interesting and new pins from those boards will pop up on your “home screen”. If you see something you like, you can simply “re-pin it” to your own board.
If you are planning a wedding, pinterest makes it SO easy to keep your ideas organized and help you envision how everything will look together. It also makes it super easy to find clever and unique ideas to make your wedding feel personalized.
Here’s a screenshot of a wedding board:
On my last post I mentioned I was working on renovating the kitchen a little and pinterest.com has been a huge help! You can go see what my kitchen board looks like and I will be posting photos of our new kitchen soon. (I’ve been anxiously awaiting the handyman who’s coming to hang some lights and the microwave in about 2 weeks from now).
After you check out pinterest.com, let me know what you think and I look forward to following your boards and great ideas! Once you are there, you will see that you can leave comments on pins, “tag” friends, like pins, share it on facebook, twitter, etc. It is super simple to use and oh-so-much fun!
Happy pinning :)
