Mood Board

Images from the UK editions of Elle Deco, Vogue, House & Garden and Homes & Gardens with a few of my photos thrown in.

I don't normally like to blog about the same things on this blog and on Living Gorgeously but I thought readers here might like to see the 'mood board' I put together for February trends over on Gorgeously.

I used to put mood boards together the old-fashioned way - with scissors and glue or sticky tape - and found them invaluable in focusing and informing the buying process.

Unfortunately since she's been walking the Minx and scissors and glue don't really mix, so I haven't made a mood board for some time.

It then occurred to me to do it online (er doh!), so I spent a happy afternoon today cutting things out of magazines and choosing images that worked well together and illustrated the trends I was reading about.  I find it really fascinating how you can start doing this and realise that magazine after magazine and advert after advert is focusing on the same trends.

All I need to do now is find some money to buy more stock in.

It's ages since I've done something like this - but you've inspired me! will also make me chuck out all my old mags once I'm finished with them...double result...

I agree with Flibbertygibbet - I need to do something like this so I can put my millions of mags in the recycle bin. It's a sickness really, isn't it? Thanks for sharing this.

Stylish mood board. I have a mood fridge just now, in lieu of any walls or table space for pinboard or pages.
