I probably shouldn’t, but I do love it when I find a new thing to waste time with online.
I remember when I first discovered Pinterest. I was in the final few weeks of a very dull job where I was supposed to be managing a team packing up files ready for an office closure.
The files were already packed and the team didn’t need any management, so I sat at my desk trying to look busy. Pinterest was my saviour and I became evangelical about it.
Roll on nearly a decade and I have just discovered a new and equally enjoyable online time-waster, at(mine).com
To be honest, at(mine) probably would not exist without Pinterest. It has quite clearly taken much from it in terms of ideas, styling and ease of use.
But whilst I have wearied of Pinterest’s colonisation by “brands”, tedious bolted-on “monetisation” and ruthlessly promoted “picked for you” pins, at(mine) is still too new a baby to be similarly corrupted (yet).
Actually, it is still in “private beta” (i.e. not-quite-finished) phase, and you can join by invitation only – just like when Pinterest started.
at(mine) is a simple idea: an online community for home and design fans. You can upload and share photos of your home under categories generally arranged by room, and follow, like and comment on other people’s pictures. Oh, and you can also tag products and link to shops’ websites, should you so wish.
at(mine)’s styling is wonderfully simple and clean and it’s ease of use puts social media giants like Facebook to utter shame. And no, I’m not being paid to promote it – I just really like it!
Best of all, there are lots of beautiful photographs of inspiring interiors to ogle.
For anyone obsessed with interiors it is heaven on stilts.
I’ve uploaded a few pictures of my own humble abode, some of which I’ve shared here. You can find me on at(mine) here and explore a wider range of other users photographs here.
If anyone would like to join, message me with your email address via my contact page – I have five invitations to offer, although I’m not sure exactly what the criteria are for acceptance.
Go on – come on over to at(mine)! ♥
It sounds lovely, but I already spend far, far too much time on Pinterest… I’ll look forward to updates from you, and for the full launch. I’m sure you have loads of other people who would leap at such a lovely invitation!
I’ve been resisting so far in a desperate attempt to conserve some time – but I fear this won’t last much longer – I’ve seen so many lovely spaces already! Lovely to read your thoughts x
I’m a member from the beginning and I love it. I would not want to miss it!
I love it too! It’s like being able to wander around lots of beautiful homes. Bliss!
