Today, I focused on a quick accessories change for a teen room. You know that moment when you look around and suddenly realize the 8 yr old that used to live in that bedroom is now 13...14...(how does that happen??) and needs an update! You already have a bed and dresser and this is not a major remodel, just a facelift. So, I did one for guy, one for a girl and kept it fairly simple. I gave them each a desk for homework and updated the old childs bedding with something a bit more sophisticated but still young and fun. Enjoy!

A Bonus Mood Board

Recently, I was challenged with creating a mood board for a small kitchen that has a door leading outside. I wanted to use the area by the door as a make-shift mudroom to hang an umbrella, jacket, bag, a place to take of your shoes real quick etc. The simple functions of a mudroom.

The space was to be young, fresh, mod, fun. All very good qualities of a room, don't you think? I pulled together some fun items to decorate the kitchen with mudroom area. My original intent was to paint the walls green. It's fresh, and lively. But it's also quite intense - not everyone can live with it. So I offered a 2nd option of a soft, dusty blue. In the end, I vote for the blue. A surprising choice for me.

The bench and hooks are for the mudroom area - a small sisal rug to place your shoes on and a chalkboard decal (soon to be in the shop, please feel free to contact me if you want one) to write lists and messages on.

The long strips of the white design on the left are our new Ironworks Mural decals. And you can see I also used our new Different Drummer text decal as well. I like this one with the art I found at Ikea. I think they make a nice collection to fill a large empty wall. The table is pub height and you can find those kinds of tables just about anywhere for less than $200 and the stools are Ikea - $50 each. An inexspensive way to spruce up a little kitchen with big color and design!

So, tell me, are you green or are you blue?

What is Mood Board Monday (MBM)? Well, I'm trying something new :) With MBM I hope to bring you inspiration with full room designs. They are not necessarily meant to be taken piece by piece and made into a room but as a place to start. A flexible design to add your personal style to. I hope along the way I will show you new pieces, new ideas and new sources for your home decor!

So tell me what you think. Would you like to see more mood boards? Do you have specific styles or rooms you would like to see?
