Pinterest Organization

Something I definitely recommend that you do is organize your Pinterest boards. I used to have about 10-12 boards that I was constantly pinning to. Then when it came down to projects, I felt like everything was just too crazy. 

For example, if I felt like sewing, I would go into my "DIY" board. Well, it had about 500 pins of everything DIY. Not as easy to scroll through, plus it was like a mind overload because I wanted to make everything I pinned! Then I would end up not being able to make a decision, therefore just pinning more stuff (ha).

So I spent a couple hours organizing everything, which was totally worth it.

Here is how it worked for me:

1. Go through some of your boards and find things that can be grouped together on a smaller basis. Write down their categories like: Sewing, Painting, Knitting, Scrapbooking, etc. 

If you're like me with 500 pins on one board, just go through one at a time to decide how to split it up.

2. Creat the new boards. I like to give fun names sometimes - for my sewing board I have "Oh, Brother" because my machine is a Brother machine...ha, cheesy I know (thanks to my boyfriend for that one).

3. Go back and open your board that has all the pins. 

4. Wait - realize that you don't have to repin everything! Hover over your pin and click on the pencil that is on the top right corner. That is "edit" and it will give you the option to change the board. 

5. Choose the board you would like it to be on, then click "save changes".

6. Repeat 4 and 5. Yes, it is that easy.

Want/hope/dream to build a house one day?

Organize those boards too! Instead of having one board with everything possible, break it up!

I broke my boards into:

1. Entry Way - not many, but there's a few good ones to repin

2. Furniture - for all the random furniture that I love and can't afford

3. In my Dreams - to post bedroom ideas and decor that I love

4. Happy Closets - to post closet organizing and plans

5. Home Office - for all the office and desk ideas

6. Home Exteriors - to see all the homes with beautiful exteriors

7. Floor Plans - to pin all floor plans that I like

8. John and Jane - bathroom ideas and organization

9. Living Room - any and all living room ideas, including fireplaces :)

10. Kitchen - I even post dishes on here!

11. Outdoors - for yards, gardens, pools, and flowers

12. Warshin' Clothes Room - to post all laundry and mud room ideas

I'm telling ya, even though I'm nowhere near building a house I know this will help one day! 

Organized boards can definitely take away that overwhelming feeling. 

Try it, I promise it's worth it!
