So...I'm Basically A Professional Designer Now

So, my friend, Brenna, approached me and asked if I would make her a mood board for ideas/inspiration for her bedroom. I was thrilled, so of course I said yes.

I had her send me a couple pictures of what she currently has in her bedroom and for her to explain what kinds of styles she likes. The above pictures are what she currently has and she is wanting to keep her bedding, so the color scheme was going to need to center around the yellow and neutrals. In addition, she said that she doesn't want it to look too matchy, but more eclectic.

After several hours I had come up with the mood board below. She once mentioned that she really liked the look for the iron head and footboard. I went matchy on the nightstands and lamps because it gives it some balance. The chest of drawers (assuming the top is an espresso/black color) gives a somewhat eclectic feel and the little yellow chair is just adorable. The fleur de lis represents Louisville so I had to include that.

 What do you think? Is the yellow chair too much? Have you ever used olioboard.com to come up with a mood board for you or a friend to actually use when redecorating?

Guess what???

You're in luck because my old roomie, Beth (designer of this blog) has decided to giveaway a custom blog design to one lucky reader!

Beth and I go wayyyy back! She's a graphic designer and has a ton of experience with website design. Although she's new to the blogging world, I asked her to make me a custom blog layout and it took her two days to figure out how to install and create everything for it. She's a pro! She does this for a living!

If you're new to the blogging world and don't want to pay for a custom layout quite yet, she makes and sells premade designs at a decent rate. Say you want a custom design, she works with you to achieve your dream design. I am NOT the easiest person to work with, but she pushed through it and produced this awesome design.

To enter to win a free custom blog design from Beth, use the giveaway tool below. In the meantime, check out her portfolio (which is still in progress) here.

Please note that you can earn an automatic $10 credit to use on any of Beth's services for just blogging about this! (And you earn 10 entries on top of that).

The winner will be verified and emailed the day after the end of the giveaway.
