Sometimes random links on people's blogs can lead to such happy places. From the Decor8 site, I saw a link to All the Luck in the World. It's in another language, but the pictures were worth clicking through. I wish I would've found this site prior to the Mood Board Contest. I definitely could've used some of the images to inspire a room design. For now, I'll dream about one day using them to create a happy space in my own home.

Mood Board Contest Voting
The good news is the next phase of the the Mood Board Contest is upon us. Now it's time to vote! The bad news is that of the 118 entries, Shelley, Jessica, and I were not among the 23 finalists. Boo! Oh well. I think most of the finalists' designs were completely deserving. And for the three of us, it wasn't about who won or lost that mattered, just that we had fun. I think we all did.
With that said, you have until June 26 (I think?) to vote for your favorites. I still need to look a little more closely at all 23, but so far, I'm digging these:

I'm in the Mood for Mood Board Entries!
Today was the final day to enter mood boards for the Decor8/Amy Butler Mood Board Contest. Since this was such a fast turnaround, Shelley, Jessica, and I used this contest as our third craft challenge. Shelley and Jessica, given their design educations, jobs, and backgrounds, entered the contest as pros. I, being only an amateur crafter, entered as a non-pro. The entries are rolling in and you can check them out here. There are some very, very cool ones!
As for our three, I think they mostly speak for themselves. Shelley and I both did outdoor spaces, and Jessica did a cute girly room. If any of us get selected as finalists (and I'm hoping that at least one of us does!), I'll be sure to let everyone know as your votes will be needed.
