You know I always see these wonderful articles in different home decorating magazines talking about mood boards, but never seemed to have the pizazz to throw one together. I can look at things and know if they look good or crap but I just can't tweak things so that they look how I have envisioned.
So then along comes Lisa over at Life as we know it and creates this awesome mood board challenge. Here's a little exerpt from her blog to explain the challenge.
So, what is a mood board? A mood board is a visual representation
of all the things that you love, dream about owning, or perhaps just
inspire you. It can represent a mood, an atmosphere or a feeling...and
in the case of Mood Board Monday...a theme.
How does Mood Board Monday work? Each Monday, I will launch the
new theme on the Life as we know it blog. Mood Board Monday is only
limited by your imagination, and the themes can be interpreted across
many blogging genres. You're encouraged to create your own inspirational
mood boards based on the current theme for your own blog; then add your
blog post's link to the bottom of the relevant post here. I will also
share the following week's theme so that you can prepare your posts
ahead of time and schedule them. Let's get inspired!
So here goes nothing - Week 1 - Floral.
Those that know me know I'm not a girly girl. I'm not into pretty floral or floaty materials or anything and that's what I think of when I see the word floral. What I do currently have a penchant for is bright, out there florals with bold colors. I'd love a bedroom theme like that, so what I can't have in real life, I'll mood board instead.
