How Pinterest Can Make Apartment Life Better

Pinterest is all the rage when it comes to home and apartment projects. We at Cutter's Point wanted to put a DIY Apartment Fun Pinboard together of a few of our favorite DIY apartment ideas.

If you are unfamiliar with Pinterest, it is a virtual pinboard, that allows you to take any image from the internet and place it on a categorized pinboard. You can take any image from any website and add it to your collection. Let’s say you search Google for “Decorating Ideas" and you come across a website that has an idea you like, instead of doing it the old school way and bookmarking it, you can download the Pinterest bookmarklet, and add that decorating idea to your “Decorating Ideas" Pinterest board, to come back and view later.

Pinterest is also a great way for brides to plan their weddings. You can search Pinterest for "Wedding ideas on a budget" and you’ll get tons of images that match your search. When you click on an image, it will show you a how-to or where you can purchase what you are looking at.

Do you use Pinterest for other things? Let us know in the comments!

How Can You Help?

Sometimes it is hard to understand how tragic something is when we don’t get to see it first-hand. Luckily we have constant updates with social media to see these devastating tragedies like Hurricane Sandy. I always want to know what I can do to help the victims. Well, there is a group of organizers called “Occupy Sandy” who registered for a wedding on Amazon. The best part is no one is getting married; it is for us to buy much needed supplies for all who were affected by the hurricane. Check out the story HERE for more information. What a great way to help these incredible people who lost everything they have worked their whole lives for.
