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!

i just fell in love with these images blogger emma lamb put together (below) into a lovely mosaic and added to the sfgirlbybay flickr pool. just some crisp, clean and oh so stylish wintery decor. and, read more about this pretty garland she crocheted (above) on emma lamb’s blog, or find more of emma’s beautiful work in her etsy shop. this is my kind of fresh holiday decor! thanks for adding it emma!

i just felt inspired this friday by one of my flickr pals to create a little mosaic (choosing a few of my own flickr photos via mosaic maker on big huge labs). i hope y’all find some good incentives to go out and make something creative, too. have a great weekend and i’ll see you back here on monday!
