Pinterest: For All Things Beautiful

Taking cues from my mom, I've always been a fan of magazines like Country Living, Country Home, and Southern Living.  Not only would I read them, but I would love pointing out pictures I found particularly pleasing.  When Jason and I were dating, I liked to test him, "So how do you like this?"  He obviously did okay since we are still together.  A few years ago Jason bought be a photo album so I could cut pictures out of my magazines and store them there so when we bought a house together, I could pull decorating ideas from my cutouts.  I thought it was an incredibly thoughtful gift. 

A few weeks ago, I found out about the website Pinterest.  It's still a relatively new website, and you have to request membership and wait a few weeks until you get an invitation to join.  I have a feeling they are limiting members because of the bandwidth required to keep the website up and running.  Anyhoo, the website is basically a virtual version of the photo album idea Jason came up with a few years ago.  The concept is that you "pin" things that interest you.  For me, it's mostly beautiful pictures of houses.  You can create different boards (or albums) for different things (art, clothes, foods, basically anything you can think of.)  You can follow other people's boards and repin things they have posted and vice versa.  This blog does a good job giving a quick run through of what the website is all about.

So, I thought I would share a few of my boards (even if you aren't a member, I think you can still click on the links and see my pages):
