Have you ever wondered what your home would look like if you opened up your floor plan or had different flooring? Well if you’re like us and are interested in home remodeling then you will appreciate this site we’ve found! The Make Room is a site offered by Urban Barn, a Canadian home décor store founded in 1990, that allows you to design your room featuring their furniture and accessories.

The Make Room is an interactive online room decorating program that allows you to easily customize your space, there are a variety or programmed rooms or you can enter the dimensions of your room. After you’ve selected the size of your room, you can arrange windows and doors accordingly and select your desired flooring-be warned, there are a lot of options! From there you can select different furniture and styles offered from the Urban Barn. There are a variety of different products and styles to suite everyone’s taste; in fact it took us more than fifteen minutes to select a coffee table!

What we found most helpful about this site is the capability to email your designs to friends, print out your different room layouts, and save you creations online with a complete list of furniture that is used. The site allows you to decorate room after room, to determine which style best suites you and your family’s needs.

That’s right, we’ve hopped on the Pinterest Bandwagon.

Do you love reading home magazines or going window shopping? Then Pinterest is the perfect website for you! Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social media sites that is gaining popularity due to the ability to view thousands of images within categories that suit your interests. In other words, it is an online community for individuals to pin, organize, inspire and dream about all of their favorite subjects.

Pinterest is an online bulletin board concept where users create a profile for free and “pin” images or blog posts to their “boards” to refer to at a later time. It was initially created in 2010 as a place to store recipes, inspiration for arts & crafts, interior decorating and more; today there are more than 17 million users. Pinterest is also a great tool for businesses to share their products and services, that’s why Renewal Remodels and Additions is now featured on Pinterest. We created a page to display our previous and current projects, upon approval of the homeowner, for our customers to view and share with friends. In doing so, we have come to love Pinterest and wanted to share a few tips to get your started on the ever so popular website. Warning: Pinterest can become extremely addictive, and time consuming!

 First we would like to introduce you to a few basic Pinterest Terms:

  • Board: you will create a board, title and categorize it according to the content you wish to store on that board. Users can create multiple boards for different topics, such as: kitchen, dining rooms, etc.
  • Pin: A pin is the term used to describe the image you are storing on a board. It can be an image added from the internet or an image uploaded from your computer.
  • Re-pin: Users can “re-pin”- or store another user’s pin onto their board.
  • Pin It Button: This is an icon that you will want to download onto your internet browser, this button will allow you to store an image you find on the internet onto one of your boards.
  • Followers: As you start pinning and repining you will gain followers, these can be friends or people who admire your style (there are privacy settings to monitor followers).

Now that you have all the essentials, it’s time to join Pinterest and enter a world of creativity and inspiration at your fingertips. After you’ve created your account make sure to visit the Renewal Remodels & Additions page:
