all about the rug

As far as my first attempt at a moodboard for my portfolio, I feel like this room accurately represents myself as a person. I enjoyed creating this room much more than I originally thought I would and doing so didn't feel like work at all. (I think that's a really good sign for the future). This design was based entirely on the rug above after I fell in love with it. The bright colors in the rug sung to me, so it was practically begging to be sourced. Though there wasn't much green in the rug, the anthropologie arm chair inspired me; I realized that bringing sea foam into the mix was necessary to complete this fun space. To pack a final punch of personality, adding flowers, succulents, and an ampersand tied everything together nicely.

So without further ado, I present to you the first of many moodboards I will be creating:

What do you think? I'm stoked for the future and am looking forward to keeping up my creative juices in 2017. I can't wait to compare this moodboard with the one I create at the end of the year to this one to see how much I've progressed.
