Very Pinterest-ing


Sometimes surfing in webs and blogs, and who knows what else, I find very interesting products and designs that maybe I would like to use in future projects. Sometimes I found them when I am searching for another things and then I try to save the picture, but where? Until when? How?
 
With Pinterest is really easy to keep all my ideas and designs that I found everyday and at the same time organise it, so I can go to my library whenever I want, categorize them and share it with other people. And what is better, people can search from another Pinterest libraries and share products.

Pin an item when you are browsing is quick and easy as you have the option of have a "Pin It" button on your browsing window. Once you enter in you Pinterest space every single image o video have been kept in the Board that you choose. Some boards are already available but you can create as much as you need. 
When browsing on boards from other members you have 2 options if you are interested in an item. First you can just "like" the picture and will be kept in your profile as that, or maybe you can "Repin It", that is, add it to one of your own boards.

Well, I leave here some of my last "pins" I have made these days, specially every time I found a nice lampPin It!

W+W = we never know the Worth of Water till the well is dry

Looking for a smart, sustainable and compact toilet and washbasin for a tiny bathroom project, I found this idea from Roca called W+W.
 

W+W  Washbasin + Water closet, as its name says, is the combination of a washbasin and WC. A part of the simple clean lines and small dimensions, is really the water saving system that makes this design a reference for future designs.

Roca is a Spanish multinational sanitary company. With over a century in the bathrooms business, is one of the  leading companies developing and innovating in sanitary ware industries. 


 


Water from the washbasin goes through a filtering system that separates big waste from water. Later, that water passes into a little treatment tank to purified before going to the water closet.


I strongly recommend to watch the video below to understand how the water saving system works.
