Design inspiration can come from many places. I like to use photos, sometimes. I don't mean photos of great interior design, though of course, that's inspiring too. No, I mean random photos of random things. I find a photo and try to come up with furnishings and decor inspired by the image. Here's one: "Vespa s50," by dawarwickphotography, via Creative Commons/Flickr.

I liked the colors -- blue, cream, orange, and black -- and thought they'd make a fun design exercise. The blue is basically Classic Blue (Pantone's 2020 color of the year). Here's the resulting concept board, with sources following:

Following up on yesterday's moodboard post -- if you're looking for art in that mood, I can help! I went to Minted and looked for prints to match. At least one fits a Valentine's theme, as well! (The Let's Grow Old Together print.) The prices shown are for one specific size; you can choose other sizes for other prices. (By the way, I will get an affiliate payment if you buy anything through these links.)

Perhaps it's obvious to use pink and red in a February mood board, but how about that green? Here in Georgia, we've had unseasonably warm weather recently, and this green is to show how close we are to spring. Green is a great foil to pink (and to purple!)

Here are a few links to where you can buy some of the items from the mood board, so you can put some of this February mood into your life! (I may receive affiliate payments from these links.)
