mood board homework

I'm taking an interior design class on Wednesday nights. It's really fun to be in the classroom again! Tonight we are presenting mood boards based on another students mood board form last week. The girl I got had an inspiration board for a bedroom with white as the main color with splashes of color in furniture and accessories.. right up my alley. I put together this board using some shabby chic white photos and presenting pool blue, grass green and hot pink as the three main splashes of color. There are some yummy peonies, a pool blue alarm clock, some bright nesting tables and a print of my pink crosshatch heart design.
It was fun to cut and paste for real since I've been doing mood boards digitally for a while.

Lauren Moffatt inspired room

My friend and amazing designer Lauren Moffatt has a fabulous Fall line out!!..
Her inspiration was a grandmother's closet.. I love it! I have such nice memories of going to my grandmother's house and just wanting to dive into the chests of clothes she had and transport myself to a different time and a glamorous place.
Using inspiration from Lauren's designs and her theme, I put together a room that I think grandma would approve of.

Michael Kors

We went to a wedding on Friday night at Tribeca rooftop. It was a gorgeous venue and fabulous night for Paul Barry and Gemma Burgess, the author of The Dating Detox. The unfortunate free hour I had before my hair appointment at my friend's fab salon Whittemore House led my into one of my favorites, Michael Kors. A couple of these lovely items above have a new owner.. moi.
Wouldn't it be fun to turn this outfit into a room?.. Aren't you lucky? I did...
1. Michael Kors Vertical Zebra-Print Dress
2. Michael Kors Charlton Tote, Gold
3. Michael Kors Two-Tone Jet Set Watch, Horn/Gold
4. Michael Kors Perky Wedge Sandal, Camel


Combining textures, prints and shades of the same color creates a fun and interesting room that is still easy on the eye..
1. Yummy tan zebra cowhide pillows
2. A glamorous square horn mirror
3. The chic Sofia settee at Ballard Designs
4. A textured sisal rug
5. Bit o' bling in the gold pouf from Lillie a shop
6. A fun Jamie Young classic drum shade in cork on a glass jar lamp, both from from Layla Grayce.
.. and that my friends is an outfit made into a room. It was a fun exercise. It reminded my of the thinking out of the box projects we did at F.I.T. in my college days.
