Making a (pinterest) dream house a reality

I've been pinning to an Architecture & Artifacts Pinterest board for years, and it's up to 16,365 pins!

For me, Pinterest has always been a digital version of flipping through glossy magazines tearing out recipes that sound tasty, articles that seem interesting, or beautiful buildings 🏫🏢, images or artwork, and saving them.  

Now I have a SPRUCE UP Board devoted to Flipping Houses, and it includes all the ideas, designs, or colors we may apply to Minty or future flips.

My Architecture & Artifacts board includes gargoyles , 

buildings  

of all kinds, and eras,

or bits of buildings and  

And a wide assortment of "Artifacts"

Here's my first attempt:

and my second

 

The only limitation to the tool that I found is that you can only apply existing products or colors.  This means for instance, I couldn't really replicate the natural wood strips I wanted to try by the front door.
