The rattan chairs were part of a set of four l came across at the Sunday market but since l have nowhere to store, or USE for, FOUR chairs, (nor could l fit them in my car:-)) l went home without them..........
however.... l kept THINKING and THINKING about them... and yep you guessed it, after a couple of hours l caved and high tailed it back to the market....luckily for me (not so much him) the chairs still hadn't sold and he agreed to sell me just two....at the staggering price of $5.00 each, a deal was struck. If the weather EVER warms up again l'll be able to take them outside for a coat of spray paint:-))
l've seen so many gorgeous moodboards out there, and l do wonder what the creative process is for you gals....do you have them sorted in a day, or weeks, or are you like me and often take months.
Mine's kept under the couch where it's easy to access, that way l can add things as they come to hand. Once the board's fully covered and l run out of pins, l figure it MUST be finished, with maybe a few final adjustments..then pics are taken.....After that everything comes off, all ready for a fresh start :-))
Anything that inspires...as long as it can be pinned, hung, clipped or tied becomes a part of the process.
l also recently made some seed packets to store seeds from year to year.... poppies, sweet peas and cosmos are all easy to sow and generally require little more than a regular sprinkle of water once thrown onto the garden bed....and what a show they put on:-))
l sometimes wish l could create a moodboard only in shades of white, or pale pastels... or in a certain theme like the ones at the end of this post, but l just CAN'T do it...l think the word random comes to mind...haha!!
A simple watercolour card l painted in heart shaped sprigs of intertwined forget me nots and twigs of cherry blossom.
The discipline of an all white board.....AND desk accessories. Perfect isn't it...
Sweet bird themed moodboard. Both these lovely pics are from Irideeen.
Anyway....that's it for today, hope you have an awesome and inspiring weekend:-)

Bron.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your visit and lovely comment Melanie, hope you weekend is great:-))
DeleteHi Bron! Over the next few days I will be playing "catch Up" on all of the posts I've missed!! Love your mood board process!! I love that you complete it, take a photo of it, and then, start all over!! I, too, am random. The only thing that has helped me to be a bit organized is pinterest, otherwise.........
ReplyDeleteI love your chairs. What a bargain. I'm glad you made it back in time to find them sitting there waiting for you. I've made that fatal mistake, so many times, of walking away from a "find" that my heart tugged at, and then, found myself mourning my loss for days.
Love your idea of using your mood board to cover your TV for the photo. Your corner is lovely as all the other corners of your home that you have shared! xoxo
So lovely that you could stop by Shelly and thanks so much for your sweet comment...hope all your reno's are going well over there, though l'm certain everything is looking fabulous:-)) l know what you mean about leaving things behind and regretting it...l've done it time and again so it was nice to be lucky on this occasion and get the chairs. Have a wonderful weekend won't you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog...I am thrilled to have found yours...
ReplyDeleteI shall enjoy looking back through your past posts...
I am a fan of Pinterest, rather than mood boards, but like you, mine are quite random...I just love colour!
