Mmmm, Mood Boards: a house log
Ladies and gents, we have dreamed of this day. The day that our midnight coding tantrums and accidental hunger strikes would come to an end. That is right, we fiiiiinally figured out how to create a plain mood board gallery that you folks can browse by color or by room. Simply check out the new Mood Board tab up near our journal header:
We rounded up every last mood board that we have made in the last three years – which adds up to nearly 150 of them! – and whipped up (well, if you can call 50+ hours spent wrestling with code) a lively little browsing system for your perusal. Now you can find inspiration for your own home when it comes to color schemes, furniture placement, or simply have some accessorizing lively. Even if the furniture, accents, or art that we have chosen are no longer available, they are still useful guides for hunting down (or DIYing) something similar- and hopefully they are simply the spark that you need to get excited about your next home makeover. And of course we’d enjoy to see before & after pics along with a link to the mood board that inspired the transformation should that occur!
And this idea gallery will consistently be growing since we will be sure to add more mood boards to the mix as we continue to whip them up (the newest boards will consistently be displayed first). So go forth and search mood boards to your heart’s content, either by color or by room. Or you can choose to view every last one of them if you’ve got some time on your hands. We hope you have as much lively looking around as we had coding it celebrating its completion!
Simply follow this link (or visit the new Mood Boards tab under our header) and remember that you can click any mood board thumbnail for a bigger image and a link to the full source list. While it is not the most technologically advanced gallery, we hope it does the trick of making it a bit easier to digest all of those furniture and accessory riddled mood boards.
And we are planning something similar to wrangle all of the inspirational “afters” that we have featured thanks to readers and people that we have house crashed over the years too (simply picture one big database of Reader Redesigns, Design Dilemmas that have been solved, and House Crashings arranged by room and color for you to sift through). But for now we are simply trying to muster the energy to look at all of that HTML again. So stay tuned!
