I take a similar three-step approach. I pin anything and everything I love, then go through a few rounds of paring down to what I really love. Finally, I repin everything to group items either by type or by their proximity to one another in the design. (That last step may be a little OCD and unnecessary.) On a related note, I really wish Pinterest would allow you to reorganize pins in a board.

I concur with Karen about editing and keeping boards up to date. You don’t think about it unless you have an obscene number of pins and you deliberately set out to pare it down, then realize a number of older pins no longer make the cut.
Great tips for pinpointing your personal style and how to apply it. Perfectly timed as Ive been slowly working on my kitchen and I was just thinking about how I would bring it all together to finish it off. Time to do a mental mood board from all of my pins.

I realized this recently when we were getting ready to update our master bedroom. I kept looking at the insane amount of photo’s I pinned, and the first thing that stood out to me was that they all had layered white curtains. And I really like that look! But when I was trying to find a starting point, it was challenging. These are some great tips that I will definitely use for future room updates!

Great advice Mandi. I also recommend curating pinterest boards ruthlessly. In my own own boards I’ve seen how my style has evolved over time and I remove the pictures I no longer find inspiring. I also use Microsoft OneNote to import images and write more detailed descriptions of what I love so much about a certain space. The mindfulness of documenting the color scheme, materials, lighting, patterns, etc has really helped me understand my tastes better.
