Creating Mood Boards with Nous Decor


Another interesting find during NYC Blog Tour with Modenus was Nous Decor, similar to Pinterest and Olioboard, it is a great tool for creating room concepts. 



Here is how it works: 

1. You can create a board from Scratch or use an inspiration photo to find similar objects

I chose this photo of an office from Atlanta Homes Magazine



Then you use the tool bar and search by color, size, price for items that are similar or even exact. You can also add your on pictures to the page. 


What is also cool it that adds the retail pricing for each item and a source. All of mine came from 1stdibs. 

Drevopodnik bookcases $8900


Vintage Scandinavian rug $3600


Italian Sputnik chandelier
$5600


Donald Sultan Art
$4500


1940's desk Chair
$4800


Lucite Desk
$3800





It totals up the price of the room as well. This room was $31,200. There is also a place to leave your boards for others to give you suggestions. 

What a great new tool! Give it a try at Nous Decor

Candlelight Tour

Here's a sneak peek of our Fredericksburg house that was in the Candlelight Tour this weekend! It was a month of installing furniture and a week of installing Christmas decorations. Down to the wire but we pulled it off. The whole Bridget Beari team was in full swing. 

The house was a total renovation with a new addition to the back. 

Sofa

This was the sofa we bought on 1stdibs that we had to drive to NYC to pick up and then reupholster.

Love this drapery fabric!
