Macaroon Chic

I just wanted to point readers in the direction of Holly Decor8’s latest wheeze.  Send her a picture of a mood board you’ve made by June 11th and you could be in line for a fabulous prize. 

I thought I’d use the opportunity to create the mood board I need to help me progress further with the living/dining room.

So this afternoon while the Minx was napping I spent a very happy hour or so playing with scissors and magazines. Here’s my work in progress.  My inspirations so far are Vanessa Bruno’s Paris apartment (natch); Laduree macaroons and Hotel Costes compilation albums. 

I’m liking the colours of the above but it all feels much too bridesmaid-y at the moment and needs to be much more grounded and edgier and funkier. 

The Husband has just walked in, seen this and announced ‘it’s quite girly’, so I guess it needs a bit of work.
