My life seems to be a series of projects, both professionally and personally. Though most of my work is spent guiding others through creative endeavors, often, when it comes to my own personal projects, it can be easy to flit around from one idea to the next. I find that my mind can quickly get cluttered with a sea of ideas - and with Pinterest, Instagram and a plethora of other visually-driven platforms, those inspirational images can be stored in a million places. When I start to feel overwhelmed, I harness the back to basics approach: a good old fashioned mood board. A mood board doesn’t need to be an editorial masterpiece - as evidenced below - a “copy & paste”, or “upload & place” does the trick!
As we embark on gutting a bathroom in our tiny A-frame cabin, I’ve sifted through my folders and put everything in one place. We’re striving for a clean and easy palette - walls will be shiplapped (even in the shower!), we’ll integrate unlacquered brass fixtures and a console-style sink. I’m especially excited about the sink… the stone top will be constructed with Vermont marble to include a wall-mounted faucet and I want to design a really tall backsplash, as shown above. Colors will be neutrals. Simple, slightly industrial and timeless.
I’m working with Lindebroeke Press to design some personal stationary. When my husband and I got married, I had some stationary made for our impending stack of thank you’s. It was SO fun and helpful. Above is the general direction for our collaboration.
