monday’s mosaic mood: winter wonderland.
this monday’s mosaic mood is all about winter white. from cool gray whites, to warmer creamier tones, they all make me feel cozy and content. this top mosaic mood was inspired by the lovely reindeer image from CharmingLiisa. you know how i love white, and i loved every one of these beautiful images gathered mostly via flickr group pools, like a lovely one i recently discovered called Whites, Cream , DECOR!
this second mosaic’s mood was inspired by the pop of the white rabbit against the vintage looking wallpaper in the center image by lbv5000. i really like the contrast that creates.
i also always like white as the simple blank canvas for the basis of your decor, but then i really get inspired when it’s layered with other white furnishings, fabrics, and textiles, like a fuzzy flokati rug, or a stunning collection of white pottery, or even a simple rustic, yet elegant stool with a white crocheted cover (like the one you see in this next mosaic from wood & wool stool). i love all the different textures it creates, and yet also allows for you to brighten things up come springtime when you may like to add more color. viva winter whites!

monday’s mosaic mood: black & white & gray all over.
one of the things i love about flickr, or photography in general, is that a single image can inspire all kinds of interior decor ideas. when i saw this flickr image from reflect / refract (center), it made me feel all wintery and think of beautiful warm rooms decorated in shades of grays, black and white, so i put together a sort of inspiration or mood board, in the form of a mosaic.
i found many of these images from members of the h ♥ m e and sfgirlbybay pools on flickr, as well as my old domino deco files. as i’ve mentioned before, that’s why i feature a lot of photography on the blog — to hopefully jump start your creativity and promote a new way for you to look at the world. any simple image can inspire a whole new look, or color scheme.
this is another mosaic i created inspired by karina’s beautiful black & white image (center). i found some of these photos from anna at door sixteen, who always has a wonderful source of collected black & white decor images in her flickr photostream, as well as kirsten from SimplyGrove, souvenirs du passé récent and ivy style33, who also have some lovely images added to the h ♥ m e and sfgirlbybay pools. to make your own inspirational mosaic boards, visit big huge labs.
