mood boards.

hey everyone! i have a confession to make. i never thought mood boards were a necessary piece of the design process. well, let me restate my statement. for me, they really aren't still, meaning that i'm more of a "put together a space" than "design a space" kind of artist and designer. (if you get what i'm saying?) but...i do love the moodboards that so many of my favorite bloggers and designers put together. they intrigue me, they inspire me and they get me thinking!
