I was sitting innocently watching a TV show when suddenly the hubby popped around the corner (he had been downstairs watching a football game) and said:

Hubby: “You have to start planning out the kitchen you want!!”

Me:

Hubby: “I want to move the wall soon and we’ll have to pick up some filler tile until we actually do the kitchen” (he wants to do a bunch of prep work first before the BIG RENO–which is still at least a year out).

Me: “Umm, ok” 🙂 hehe my FUN FUN FUN!!!

2 minutes later I’m on Pinterest (best thing EVVVaaaa!!) showing him a bunch of ideas I’d already pinned based on a fab Style at Home IKEA kitchen.  While neither this amount of cabinetry nor the bicycle hanging from the ceiling would work in our space, I loved the vibe.

After looking at a million photos, hubby wanted to see it all together because unfortunately for him, he can’t see “the vision” I have in my head.  In there… *gazes inward* …well….the finished kitchen looks AahMazinG!! woot woot!

Soooo….I start a search of websites I could utilize to build a board of ideas so he could see the direction I wanted to go.

Criteria:

1. must be able to upload photos from my computer (I found some that you could only use from their gallery/sources 😦   What’s the point of that?!)
2. able to import pins from Pinterest  (the ultimate in my mind!)
3. ability to layer photos
4. easy to use

I new what I wanted had to be out there.  I had seen beautifully laid out mood boards that others had created…..I wanted that too!  But where was it?

After a bit of Google, I came across Sampleboard and the fun began!

(see fun below)

Yeah, Hubby cringed because he knows me  hahahahaa!!
