where to go from here?

Last week in my Boot Camp class we had the assignment to make a moodboard that reflects what we want our blogs to be like. This is what I wrote as a little description of my board: The inspiration for my blog comes from my love of diy and renovation projects for our home as well as design and architecture in general. I would like to make the things I already like on my blog to stand out more and be more consistent with content as well as style. Also I want to make the overall look more cohesive.

I used only my own photos to create the board, the ones chosen reflect what I like most about this blog. This is mainly where I showcase the projects I do around our house, the occasional diy project as well as exploring the architecture and design around me and taking photos in general. Some of the photos I took just for the board some I pulled from my archives. It is pretty evident that I like whites and greys with a pop of color, mainly orange, here and there. Now I just (ha, ha!) have to pull those things together and incorporate it into the blog. Nothing easier than that right?

Here is last years moodboard I created exactly one year ago as a comparison. Colors, camera and having tools present is consistent. I am already curious about what next years moodboard will look like...

new york blogging your way meetup

Over the last four weeks I have been taking the Blogging Your Way e-course with Holly Becker from Decorate, Leslie Shewring from A Creative Mint and Thorsten Becker from Alternate Words. I signed up for the class on a whim and can highly recommend it. The course taught me so much about finding myself in the world of blogging and also provided much food for thought.

Yesterday was the last day of the course and today I met 5 of my fellow students at
Coffee Shop on Union Square. We talked about the class, what made us sign up, our goals, blogging and life in general. It was great meeting the people in person that I've already met online in the Blogging Your Way forum and being able to connect a face to the blogs they are writing.

What a great way to end this class!
