Pinterest

I want to take a moment to talk about a website I discovered. Hopefully this will offer you all up a little something new to add to your lives. That website is called Pinterest.

I discovered this little beauty of a website via a glowing recommendation (here) from a blog I follow called Young House Love. (YHL is deserving of it's own post, but that will be for another day...)

Basically, Pinterest provides digital bulletin boards that you can 'curate' by pinning photographs. You can brows a collection of pictures uploaded by other Pinterest users, add them to your boards and add annotations. You can follow friends boards or any other boards you admire. A very simple idea that is incredibly addicting.

My particular weakness is pinning photographs of beautiful home interiors. Here are some examples from my 'For The Home' Board.

Basically a wonderful place to daydream about my future zillion dollar mansion.

However, there are also lots of links to fashion, art photography, silly sayings, wise quotes, vacation photography, hair styles, and tutorials on various crafts and home improvement projects. (Keep your eyes peeled for some Pinterest-inspired home improvement projects in the near future).

Basically it is a place to go to be inspired. Inspired to spruce up a room in your apartment or inspired to try wearing your hair in a different style.

It is a place to help define your style and spy on some other style points-of-view.

Found via friend's Pinterest board.

Also it is just some fun eye candy that can be consumed in a fun little ten minute coffee break from checking your e-mail.
