Pinterest is a visual-thinkers dream.
This virtual pin-board is a smorgasboard of visual design inspiration. You will find everything from architecture, design, colour, fashion, food, crafts . . . Anything and everything beautiful, delicious, creative and crafty.
You can re-pin Pins from other people's boards onto boards that you create, or you can surf the web and pin pictures and links as you go.
Each Pin is made up of a photo that leads back to the original source website. Found a backsplash you love? Pin It. Add it to your Dream Kitchen board where you'll be able to see it along side the cabinets you love and the flooring you crave. And when your contractor asks you where you found it, you'll be able to click the link to take you back to the supplier's website. Genius.
You can start a board for each project, each room, each obsession.
Start by following a handful of boards created by others, add the Pin It button to your browser's tool bar and Pin away.
You can check out my Pinboards to get you started!
