The Mood Board

Here is the "mood board", a tool designers use to convey mood, theme, ideas, concepts, etc. Amanda, my client, "got" it right away.By the end of the project, it should all make sense.

Amanda's Living Room


Here is the living room "before".Pretty nice just as it is. Amanda has a good sense of design, color, and scale. Of course, I'll have to HIDE that TV, even though it is new, handsome and not hideous (for my feelings on "hideously huge" TV's, check the previous project).

The Mantle Close Up


Here is the mantle up close. I intend to paint the walls on either side and above the fireplace the two colors of red on the mood board. Because there are WAY too many squares in the room, some circle and odd shapes are called for. Maybe the mirror?
