My entry for Moodboard Monday

November 8, 2010 in Beige, Exotic, Living room, Mood Board, Natural

Sarah over at Pewter + Sage is hosting these fun moodboard challenges on certain Mondays, where she gives us a few pieces of furniture or photos to work from. Here’s the image I decided to use as inspiration, a photo by Helen Norman, and my moodboard:

1 moodboard inspiration plantation style

Looking at this picture I immediately thought gray velvet sofa and brass coffee table. Magnifying glasses always makes me think of biology, hence the anatomy art. I also summed up the architecture postcard in the photo, with an Eiffel Tower print. Here’s how I would use it:

*

Sofa, zebra pillow, ikat pillows, coffee table, sidetables, table lamps, mirror, artwork

I picked flask green table lamps to inject some color, and repeated the color in the green and blue ikat pillows. After creating so many color palettes I have concluded that every room should have at least 2 accent colors, so I threw in some fuchsia. So that’s it, a layered botanical chic living room.

This was so much fun, I will definitely join Sara’s moodboard Mondays again, you should too! If you don’t have a photo editing program you can use Polyvore for free =)

POTTERY BARN

A coastal vignette of candles and corals. At first I thought the tabletop was filled with sand, which would be a bit inconvenient.. then I realized it’s a table  runner.. =)
