Pinspiration

I often get asked how I come up with color palettes for the idea boards that I create. Often, I'll find a piece of artwork that I love like this print from Society6:

Then I pull colors from it to create an idea board like this one. But sometimes I use multiple images, often found via Pinterest and create a mood board:

It's so easy - I love using Pages to make them because it's really simple, but sometimes I use Photoshop too. You could also make them in Word. Creature Comforts is a favorite site for color inspiration as well. I love Ez's color inspiration daily series. (Be careful though, because her site can become addictive - I could get lost for hours!) xo, Lauren

P.S. You can find me on Pinterest (and sources for the above images) here.

Pinspiration No. 2: Warm Brights

I'm definitely noticing a color trend with a lot of my pins lately - I'm really attracted to these bright and fresh colors at the moment. I think I'm just so tired of the grays and browns and blahs outside. Makes me want to throw some hot pink on my walls and throw a bunch of pom poms around my house!
