I can tell you that I either need some serious help with my time management skills today, or I just need more time, not sure which. :-) I'm sure there are many of you who can relate. Some days are just like that.

I wanted to get this mood board posted because I said I would. It was inspired by the fall leaf prints in the upper right hand corner (found at Ballards).

I actually did a true "mood" board, just grabbing items that I felt fit with the room I imagined. It was an interesting exercise since I'm used to doing a design board for a specific client and their room dimensions, personal preferences, and budget constraints. It definitely went more quickly! :-) Therefore, some items may be affordable and some are not, depending on your budget. That is one of the positives about mood boards though. They are a "room road map" that you can use to create your space, purchasing similar items using local, or internet, sources that you know fit your budget.

Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to get these mood boards to load larger in my posts, I would appreciate your advice. I've tried everything I know. If you want to see this board larger, just click on it.
