Pre-Pinterest Picture Post

June 16, 2011 by Chris

Ahhhhh, Pinterest. How I love thee. But here’s the problem. How do I pin pictures that I found months/years ago that are in my files? I put them in a post. That’s how. It’s not illegal to do that, is it? Edited: Pinterest now has an option where you can upload pictures from your files. YIPPEE!

If nothing else, I thought it might be fun to share some of my inspiration files with you. And believe me—there are many. Back in PP (that’s pre-Pinterest days, mind you), I would simply save a picture I liked and label with a hint as to where I got it. Yeah…that didn’t last long. I ended up just saving. I have no idea what the sources are for these, and I thought maybe you could help. If you know a source for them, will you share in the comments? That’d be real nice.

This bedroom. My son’s room inspiration. Masculine without being stuffy. Replace the ties with an arsenal of Nerf guns, and it’s so his room. Someday.

The trim! Trimwork does wonders to any space—even one as gorgeous as this one was already. Love it.

wow the lightning the walls the colors

You know how I feel about my neutrals. Those doors are absolutely stunning. And the trim on the curtains? Swoon.

I’m pretty sure this is my idol, Phoebe Howard. In my dreams, she would design my entire home. Along with Erika. Oh, and a little bit of Candice, of course.

Well, hello. Ahem. Allow myself to introduce..my..self. My name is Chris! And I’m a blogger! I got into blogging after spending months reading all the inspiration that is found in blogland. I thought to myself, “Self, I can do this. I might have something to offer too!” And so it began...

    How do I sign up for Pinterest?? I took a look at the iPhone App, but it said I had to “request an invite” and I haven’t heard anything back yet….I want to join Pinterest!!!

    I love Pinterest too! I have been pinning madly the past few days! What a resource of inspiration! You can upload photos to your boards directly in Pinterest. I’ve done that with a whole slew of them that I’ve saved on my hard drive.

      Oh, Pam. That’s great to know! I’ll go look into it now. Thank you for just adding to my addiction. 🙂

    Lovely images! That bedroom is quite gorgeous. I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I love it, but spend WAY too much time on it! I pin in bed, I pin in line at stores- I pin all the time. Sigh…

    I love your pins. You have a taste for rustic elegance.
    Do I follow you on pinterest? I clicked your link but it didn’t work ( I’ll try again in a sec ).
    I’m @ http://pinterest.com/flawed/

      I just did it, Lesley. Try again? I hope it works for you! Rustic elegance–I like that. 🙂

      That’s awesome, Salmeen! I have quite the obsession, so prepare yourself. 🙂

    It is possible to upload pictures from your computer without having to include them in a blog post. I have done a few but it definitely takes longer. I think you simply go to your account and choose add a pin then upload and pin it. I have enjoyed having an account – the amount of beautiful pictures and inspiration is amazing!

      Thanks, Stacy. Just figured that out. 🙂 It’s not quite as quick, but it’ll help with my PILES of pictures I’d like to include!

    Pinterest has now made it so you can pin images from your computer files.

    My inspiration file is getting quite large, too. I am really going to have to play around more with Pinterest!

    I’m loving Pinterest. It can be way too addicting though. You can search around for hours. LOL! When I get home, I’m going to become a follower of yours. I have a Pinterest account, but I can’t get on at work. Boo!!! You should be able to search for me under “Jen @ The Decor Scene”. Thanks for sharing your pins and I can’t wait to see the rest of your pins. 🙂

    I have had the same dilemma…wondering how to get those saved photos on Pinterest. I may have to try this! So, if you see a blog post full of pics on my site, you’ll know I got the idea from you! I just hope the sources identify their pics! Thanks!

    This may be dumb but what IS Pinterest?

      Go to Pinterest.com, Jackie. It’s a WEALTH of inspiration pictures!

    The very first picture you posted is from a Country Living issue from about 2004-2005… I have that page (and the pages showing the other rooms in the house) in my old-school magazine tear-out pile! I still love that entire house!

    Google Tin Eye reverse image search – you can upload a picture and it will tell you all the places it’s on the internet.

    You can also go to Facebook and find the Pinterest page and hit “like”. This allows you to post on their wall. I simply posted a request for an invite on this page and within 30 seconds I had an invite from a member. (Although I had been waiting for MONTHS from Pinterest to answer my request for an invite from their website!) I was up and running fast! Hope this helps!

    PS I was looking for information on the barley twist twin beds??? Any one know if these are reproductions – and if so – who makes them?
