A Birdlike Mood Board

Anne, from the blog Birdlike, has invited us to join a mood board party.  The inspiration for the mood board is actually a bird.  Apparently I have a lot in common with the Satin Bower bird because Anne tells us they like to decorate.  That and the fact that they are mostly green and have gorgeous blue eyes made it even more fun.

My plan is pretty self explanatory only I went a little heavier on the blue than our feathered friend here.  I used the natural elements (armoire, rug, bamboo, chair) to bring out the brown in addition to the chevron pillow.

  14. A gorgeous room that would be! I have never created a mood board. Since you create such beautiful ones, a suggestion would be to share with many of us, just how do you create a mood board?? :-)
