Do you enjoy Pinterest?

I got lost on Pinterest tonight looking for a cozy chair for reading and relaxing. This is the one on my wish list from Grandin Road.

Very pretty and comfy looking.

I recently signed up for Pinterest because I happened to be looking for information on care of a houseplant and found it on Pinterest. I really like the site. I have since added other houseplants to my list and get daily updated information including pictures on plant care.

@simplyfriends To answer your question, no, I really don't enjoy going on Pinterest. My daughters love it as do many friends and family. For me, it's too overwhelming and I don't like having to log in every time I just want to look at something.

But, the chair is really pretty.

@cjm61 I never log in. I just google Pinterest and browse through the site. I guess once you log in they'll keep asking you.

@simplyfriends Really? You never have to log in? I never go directly to Pinterest. I google something and get taken to Pinterest. After I browse a page or two there's a pop-up that says to view more I have to log in.

@cjm61

I never have to log into Pinterest either but it's because I signed up for info on plant care as I mentioned above so I get emails pretty much on a daily basis focused on my plant care and for other plants or topics I might be interested in including pictures.

I only get so far too and the site asks me to login/join.

So nope, not a fan. Didn't join. Never use it.

I've never mastered how to use it efficiently, but every once in awhile I will browse thru it. I can see how folks end up spending hours on it! It's interesting for sure!

I love that chair and setting....what a great place to spend a rainy day with a great book!

I enjoy scrolling through Pinterest, but it's easy to forget yourself in it. I've enjoyed seeing everything from sewing tips to pixie hairstyle pictures. I usually open it through emails and I don't have to sign in to access it.

I find it to be a valuable resource. I don't use it for browsing or socializing of any kind, but I have dozens of categories set up to keep things like recipes, crochet projects, etc. I'll make specific boards like "Easter 2023" so I can organize all my menu items, etc. I think I'd be lost without it.

If you have your browser save your login you won't have to deal with signing in each time to visit.

I have almost the same chair and hassock.

I have never been on Pinterest. The chair looks very comfortable.

I had a beautiful, expensive similar chair in wide-wale rust corduroy. After a few years I got tired of tripping over the ottoman. It was always in the way. Got rid of it and got a cozy recliner.

It was fun when I first joined but it lost it's charm and now I only go there every few weeks.

I've had the app for years, but I rarely access it. I just fine it cumbersome to use. There are better platforms. I enjoy using Houzz for all things house 😉

I hate Pinterest. The search function is almost useless and there are way too many duplicates. Then, when you finally find something that interests you, you have to dig down and down and down to find the original post only to discover it's a product from Denmark in 2011 and is no longer available. Blechh!

I do like Pinterest and have for as long as it's been a thing----can get lost in it for hours sometimes. Have found some really awesome stuff and it has helped me with a few decorating things. I like the recipes but have to admit--more often than not, they looked way better than they tasted, altho I do have a few recipes I still use. I like the arts and crafts----have found lots of things there. Would not buy anything off any of these social media sites tho---am not on Facebook or twitter or instagram---or the others----but for info I think it is great.

I love pinterest. I have several of saved catagories. Found my current hairdo there. There are endless recipes, cooking hints and tips. Found my tatoo there.

I can spend hours just browsing.

As for signing in. I joined when they started and I have never had to sign in again. If and when I have had to for whatever reason I just sign in through Google. Just a couple of clicks and Im in.

Honestly, I can't figure it out. There was a red icon with a white 'p' in the center so I got in that way. It must have determined things I like, so all I get are:

Floor plans of houses

Fattening recipes

Garden and planter ideas

Bow making tips

So for the last five years, that's all I look at out there. Many hours have been wasted.

**Should add I have six feet of ribbon on the table next to my chair and I've never successfully made a bow yet**
