How Your Pinterest Board Becomes A Project Brief

We love Pinterest boards. Give us the images you’ve been saving, and we’ll use them to develop a project brief: a detailed write-up that describes your house in words before I start designing it.

At Den & Burrow, we use Claude to analyze your Pinterest board. We’re looking for trends and patterns across your selections, including things you may have chosen subconsciously. You don’t have to have a name for everything you like. The images give us something concrete to work from.

Read your house before we design it

We take those patterns and put them into a written description. That’s the project brief. It gathers what we see in your selections into one document that we can review with you.

That review matters to me. We’ve interpreted the images, but you’re the person who needs to agree with the description of the house. We go through the brief together so you can tell us whether it reflects what you want.

Once you’ve reviewed and approved that document, I start designing. The Pinterest board gives us the inspiration; the approved brief gives me a description of the house to design.
