Pinteresting...

In the lead up to the summer holiday season, I've recently been refreshing & re-arranging a lot of furnishings in a group of self-catered holiday apartments located in le Grand Bornand. The apartments are spacious and light and comfortable; they just needed a spot of re-vamping and with next to no budget I've had to get inventive. I've found lots of inspiring stuff on the web & as it's sale time at the moment, lots of bargains to be had online also. Pinterest is a great source of inspiration; basically it's an online pin-board/mood board and a bit like flicking through your favorite magazines. It's also very dangerous as I do find I can waste hours looking at other people's pin-boards and adding images to my own. Each board is saved under a category and you then give your board a name; It's a brilliant way to keep all the stuff you see and like and want to keep 'on file' as it were, all in 1 place and neatly ordered to boot. 


While you're waiting to be invited to join Pinterest , have a look at these in the meantime. These are just a few of my favorites...
