Hi there friends! One of my goals for the next year is to give you more diversification when it comes to design. To give you more ideas outside my own 4 walls. The easiest way to do that is to create looks with mood boards and direct links to sources. Mood boards can be incredibly helpful for focusing in on a look; the furnishings, fabrics, woods, hues, balance of textures, art, etc…It also keeps you on track because you have a visual. Honestly, I wish I did this for every room in my house when we moved in, it would have saved me a ton of time & money! It is also a good tool to keep your house feeling cohesive.

What inspired this Sophisticated Scandinavian look is 2 fold, 1. I think it’s incredibly easy to live with in general, no matter what phase you are in your life 2. I am currently tweaking my own living room and if I was starting from scratch I would do something like this…
Right now I am loving velvet sofas, leather, raw wood tones and natural elements. The sources range from moderate to low in price in order to stretch the budget. If I had to choose a color for the walls I would go with a shade of white.

I have been contemplating them for a while and going to take the plunge. I just finished my first one with a wonderful gal who is redoing her basement. It went really well and I LOVED the process. So…keep an eye out for my big announcement, especially if it is something you might be interested in.
Have a happy day!
I have always loved your design style and ideas and especially like this Scandinavian look.
I was wondering if you could share how you make a mood board. I am trying to pull ideas together for redoing my living room and want to have some kind of a plan. Many thanks!
Thank you Carolyn! You can try any software editing programs like Photoshop or you can try Ollie Boards. There are a good amount of websites that walk you through it. Good luck! Jen
This is a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing! As always you are so talented!

Would be very interested in an e-consult as soon as you are ready (hopefully soon!)
I do love all of your ideas! I am Scandinavian and really could connect with what you did. Thanks for sharing.
