Spring has officially sprung -- and with it so has our love of bright colors. Oh wait.... we have that year round. 

This mood board uses bright colors to break the mold of what might be considered retro. Instead of a totally throw back style, we're fans of including retro elements -- hints of more muted colors (like the seafoam), groovy lines and streamlined styles. 

Until Friday, check out a few of our past mood boards! 

It's been a week since we posted our spring-inspired color schemes and the approaching warm weather is still at the front of our mind... 

It's been a busy month, and we've needed an extra bit of inspiration. For us, that means browsing Pinterest + design books + local art galleries. Putting together a mood board allows us to draw on an image we find inspiring and see where it takes us... and that was exactly our process for this "Peach in Paradise" mood board!

Where do you look for inspiration? Is there an image you want us to build a mood board around?

“Its not easy taking your own advice, accepting what you don't like hearing, & seeing the grey amongst the black & white.”

During an especially busy week, it's important to remember that everything isn't black and white. This mood board is inspired by the idea that when it comes to a design problem there's no right or wrong answer -- only different potential solutions.

In North Carolina, December is kind of a transitional time. 

It's not that it's still fall...but there are some leaves still on the trees, and the bite in the air is just starting to get intense.

Here's a mood board inspired by that move from the browns and taupes of fall to the cooler colors of winter.

Lately, I'm loving BIG visuals...

Sharp lines and color-blocking.

Bold hues and texture.

Dynamic, interesting patterns.

Here's a visual representation of where my mind is lately: 

Constantly focused on the wild risk and dare of running a business. 

Accentuated by bold color and pattern (in complementary combos, of course).

All topped off with a hint of sparkle.
