Mini Manor Moodboard Services

I hope you've been enjoying our Blog-iversary celebrations! I've had a lot of fun writing up the posts this week!
We still have a bunch of posts for you. First up today is some exciting news for us . . . and hopefully for you . . .
In the last year I've received many requests for help from our amazing Mini Manor readers . . . everything from how high should I hang my chandelier . . . to  please design my room. :)

My starting point when I decorate rooms for myself is always a Moodboard. You've seen me use them here, here, and most recently here. I think moodboards are a great jumping off point . . . almost a shopping list of sorts. It's my way of making sure I stay on track, because once I'm in the store I turn into a crow ("oh, something shiny").  It keeps me focused and helps me keep my room coordinated! Here's our guest room Plan:

Here's where we are in the plan . . . still some things to buy, like a light fixture for above the bed and a quilt to make up . . . but so far we've stuck pretty close to the plan. The curtains are the same and, the bed frame and side tables are the exact ones from the board.

When family and friends started asking for my help . . . we always started with a moodboard. Some people (like my mom) keeps a print out of hers in her purse, so she can always pull it out and reference it when she's ready to buy something. And when she does buy something . . . she cross's it off the picture . . . like a picture shopping list! My mom recently scored 14 yards of green fabric off of me, (it was $1 a yard at Jo-Ann Fabrics). She wanted to make curtains out of them, but didn't want just a green and white room, so we added navy to the mix! I Love the way it's turning out!

One for Kris, She wanted to accessorize herself and just wanted the basic bones of the room. Her hubby is tall like mine and she wanted a chaise for him. Their living room was tiny so we added two cubes instead of a coffee table to offer more versatility. And when their nephew's come over they can move the cubes and give them some extra room to play.

This one was for my sister who has, a dog, cats, fish at one point a rabbit. She's an animal lover and a lover of natural woods. Here's the moodboard I put together for her . . . A little bit funky just like her.

 We're now offering custom moodboards for $25!
This is something I've wanted to offer for a while . . . and honestly we've been doing this for about 6 months now for readers who've emailed and requested design advice.
Here's how it works:
~Send me a photo of your room.
~A general design direction . . . or colors you like.
~And what your looking to use the room for . . . for example if you have kids . . . . or pets or like to entertain a lot.
~Any Questions or requests you have are more then welcome also.
 Within a week I'll email you a JPEG of your finished moodboard just like the ones above.

I'm so excited to have launched our Moodboard Services! It took me a long time to feel comfortable enough to offer a service through Mini Manor, but it feels so good to make it available to everyone!
