Newbie Decorating Q - Home Journal

OSUtiff

I have recently moved into a new home.  I really want to make it look nice, lived in, and well put together.  I have two kids and two dogs so I have to keep that in mind when picking out decor and arranging furniture.

 I guess my question is...(and it does kind of relate to the above ) do you keep a home journal for your decoration ideas, paint swatches, floor plans, etc?  What does this look like? How is it organized?  Is it worth even keeping something like this?

Note: I do keep a journal/notebook for household things such as warranties, meal planning menus, phone #'s, etc.  This would be different. Maybe I am just obsessed with binders. Totally possible.

Pinterest is about as close as I'll get to journaling about my house.

I used to keep an inspiration notebook, yes.  It was just magazine pages in sheet protectors.  MIL has something similar.  My mom puts her clippings in a decorative storage box.

Pinterest is the new way to do it.

I love me some Pinterest.  I guess I will just keep my boards as inspiration, that's a good idea. I don't know why I needed another binder to reference, and more stuff it would take me weeks to file!

Thanks!
