Guest Posting at Primitive and Proper Today and My First Attempt at a Mood Board

Hello my dears, how are you?

Did you catch that lost hour of sleep? It is so wonderful to be lighter later again.

This weekend I un-hung, sanded, painted and re-hung some doors. I really like how they turned out even though 3 out of the seven don't close properly...ooops! :)

Today I will be at Primitive and Proper talking about one of my favorite things: Chocolate!!!

Please come join us and see this wonderful color series that Cassie has graciously asked me to participate in. There are lots of inspirations from some wonderful and talented guests.

Also I have been playing around with mood boards this weekend in an attempt to join Anne at Bird/Like for her bird inspired design board linky party.

Here is the in the inspirational bird from her website,

and here is my mood board inspired by the colors of the Satin Bowerbird.

I was aiming at an eclectic and comfortable bedroom, not sure I achieved that, but it was very fun trying my hand at this! I pulled the greens, blues and yellows from the inspiration bird while using a neutral background.

If you have never done a mood board and do not have the photo editing software, Olioboard was very easy to use and they have LOTS of fun things to use.

Thank you Anne for sharing this with me and thanks for hosting the party!

With all that went on this weekend, my heart just ached for those experiencing all the devastation in Japan. I watched in horror as homes, towns, and lives were just washed away. My thoughts and prayers are with those that are affected by this and I hope that loved ones are rescued and pray that, in time, lives can be mended back together again.
