{ Moodboard - truly inspiring! }

As I've told you before; I love to get inspired by moodbords. Usually I make them on a table and take pictures of it, but this time I've made one using a canvas so I can have it over my desk. I used pins and tape to put everything on its place, this way I can easily change the moodboard if I want it to look different.

I've attached a wire to the canvas, so I can hang stuff that I find inspiring as well. The wire actually makes the moodboard more interesting I think.

Usually when I make a moodboard I follow a color scheme, but that isn't necessary of course. There are no rules when it comes to moodboards. It's just FUN and very inspiring!

I will probably fill it up gradually as I find more inspiring photos etc. But I think this is a good start.

Do you ever make moodboards? Do you put them up on the wall like this?

{ My new feminine home office! }

I've done some changes in my home office again, and this time I wanted it to be more feminine and bright. This is how it turned out...

An easy way to get a feminine look in your home office is to add feminine stationery with girly colors and patterns. Or you can even make a moodboard like I have done here with inspirational photos from magazines and other inspirational objects you love. 

Decorative notebooks and boxes will help the surface of your desk get even more romantic and feminine.

An old wooden crate for my favorite magazine is a nice thing to have in reach if I need inspiration.

As I told you in my previous "10 home office tips" post, flowers are a must in your office! They make it extra pleasant and they bring beauty and character to your room.

You can see more pictures of my home office here.

If you wonder how it used to look like, you can view it here.

{ 3rd of Advent and moodboard! }

I have made a little Advent-moodboard for you this Sunday. For me advent is purple, so I put together some purple paper, and some other things that reminds me of Advent...

How do you decorate during Advent? Do you use other colors than for Christmas?

Wish you a lovely 3rd of Advent!

I have now registered my blog at Bloggurat.

{ Christmas mood board }

On Friday I was a guest blogger on the lovely blog Heart Handmade. Claire wanted me to share some ideas on how I make my mood boards, so I gave a few tips. I want to share them with you as well, so here is my Christmas mood board and some few tips on how you can make your own...

There are no rules of course on how you can make a mood board. Many prefer to have them on the wall where they collect all the inspiring things / pictures they find over the years, or you can for example collect your inspirational finds in a book. It's up to you!

What I like to do when I need to find inspiration, is to make a mood board on my dining table and take pictures of them. (This way I can practice on my photography as well)

I like them to have a colour theme, so the first thing I do is to find everything that I have in the colours that I want to make a mood board out of, and I place them around a frame that I make out paper.

Sometimes I paint or make drawings that I add to the mood board if I feel that something is missing.

Just try to think of everything that you can use to make the result you want. Get creative!

You can see two of my earlier mood boards here and here.

{ Mood board }

Hello to YOU, hello FRIDAY and hello PURPLE!

I felt like making a mood board again because it's so much FUN and it really let your creativity flow. This time I made one in purple, black, grey and white, because these are the colors I heart the most right now.

I'm really exited today, because I'm going to a concert with Jack Johnson at the Hollywood Bowl tonight! The concert is outdoors and you can bring your own picnic basket with food and wine if you like (and we will!). I've been there a couple of times before and the place is amazing. You should definitely go there if you're ever in LA.

What do you think?

What are you going to do this weekend? I hope you will enjoy it whatever you're going to do.
