Ack, I couldn't resist leaving one last post before we leave. I was searching, in vain, for the air conditioner receipt today - I need to mail a rebate claim before we go - and noticed that my tearsheets lately seem to have a black and white theme. It must be a "palette cleanser" (to use the fashion designer phrase for a clean, neutral palette in between seasons), although I haven't been keeping track of fashion trends lately so I don't know if it's just my own taste or if it's an actual trend. So Bebe and I dropped everything to make an inspiration board, just for old time's sake.
Since I don't have a studio, the closet door in the bedroom often functions as design board for me. I can attach everything with magnets, which is actually more convenient than the t-pins we always used on bulletin boards at work. The door to the right of my "board" is
Bebe's room.
Ok, now I really have to go find that receipt. See you in August!
Have a lovely time with your family; are you leaving the inspiration board (it's lovely) as a little gift for when you get back? By then you may have moved on to wild, bright colors! At any rate, safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the black + white theme. I noticed my stash of black + white fabric has doubled in size over the past 6 months. Maybe it is time to make a small quilt for Baby J. Have a safe trip!
ReplyDeletehave a good time with your family.... and i'm sorry about your grandma.
ReplyDeletewe will waiting for you...
XD
I luff it...
ReplyDeleteI think the black and white theme is one of the things going on for fall fashions...tho it seems to depend on where you look...the latest Elle.. I often seem to subconciously pick up on trends, not sure how it works, but ive been in love with arm warmers and un attatched sleeves for a while now and it turns out a lot of the fall lines have some variation on that....
ReplyDeleteanyway, look forward to your return :)
I love the collage of ideas on your door... looks wonderful.
ReplyDeletecheers, gracia
