Do any of you go on Pinterest?

For all those who say that they are being ‘bombarded’ go to settings and turn off notifications.

Yes, for inspiration for my art projects.

Thank you, JaneJudge! Have managed to completely miss this somehow.

I've been trying to reorganise a house with too much stuff in it, and having looked at Pinterest, there are lots of ideas for interesting ways to store/organise things, and for different 'looks'. Haven't seen much online that I liked so far.

I was getting fed up with having half-baked ideas, but not quite knowing how to put them together. And it's inspired me, too.
Don't know how long it will last, though. We'll see... Oh dear - think I might be hooked, too!

I got fed up with being bombarded.

Exactly this.

Yes interiors hairstyles gardens

One if my friends inspired to start on Pinterest .
It's great .
It's also extremely addictive .
I csn spend hours pinning and have to limit myself .

I use it for ideas for my pre school room. They have some brilliant garden ideas as well.

Yes I love interest, I think that it has saved me a fortune, as I no longer buy magazines.

grandtanteJE65 any site that makes it a faff to log into (I’ll give ‘em a couple of tries) then dump them🤗

It’s pretty good for many things.The recipes are great especially the cooking for a crowd ones.Admittedly they are slanted towards the American market but are easily adapted to British measurements.

Houzz is very addictive too, it's worldwide but you can use the UK version.

what have you told me this for?

Like others I hate being bombarded.

The other problem with all the algorithms different sites use, they decide what to show you on what you have already looked at.

Like ebay, buy, say an electric kettle on ebay and every time yoo open it up it is offering youopportunties to buy electric kettle, but you have just bought one and are no longer interested in buying one.

About six months ago I was looking at new hairstyles online. In th end out of the blue my hairdresser suggested a change. i was delighted with it and haven't wanted to see any hairstyles since, but still half of the Pinterest suggestions are hair style sites. That is down from when they all were, but still is half to many.

I mostly use Pintrest for recipes, I can save and sort them by course.

It's easy to sink down the rabbit-hole with all the pretty pictures! I just opened mine to check... grey hair inspiration, knitting, recipes, fashion for over 50's, and simple drawings of animals (my grand-daughter loves to draw!)

I'm off to look at boat decor, not that I own one! Petra, beautiful galley!

Petra, your boat looks lovely 🥰 I’m interested though, did you start by getting obsessed with carpentry or have you always had a boat? 😂

Nope - I have given it up, as no matter how many times I have tried to log on, no log on ever works. I have tried to get someone to solve the problem, but if Pinterest has any moderators they apparently just sit on their hands.

I love Pinterest, I’m like you by the sounds of it JaneJudge, I’m always pinching plans from it for my garden, there are some simple and stylish ideas - I’ve been down quite a few woodshed, trellis and raised bed rabbit holes. Not to mention tiaras, I do love a glittery tiara.

more boats

biglouis, could you post some photos of your antiques?

This is the galley in my last boat.

So, Mollygo, did you use any of the helpful tips in decorating your stately home...

I’m still saving up to buy it, but I learned a lot about ceiling roses and linenfold panelling, also a fair bit about replacing cast iron door furniture, none of which are needed in my unstately pile.

I look at Pinterest way too much, it’s a wonder I get anything else done.

I have the app and have used it but it really gets on my nerves with bombardment daily of things nothing to do with crafts or art,things that don’t interest me, things like Royal gossip celebrities gossip etc etc Not interested in these often malicious gossips

I don't post but do have boards for fashion, decorating, gardening, crafts, food and drink. Mainly I use them to hold onto things I've found that interest me but haven't got around to trying yet.

I have 2 followers 🙄 😂but I don't follow anyone.

I use it to research textile and garden design. I quite like the random suggestions on my home page in an amusing way. I don’t post any photos of my creations, but enjoy having pinboards.

I have never really got to grips with how Pinterest works. i find it all very confusing.
