Design Boards

I’ve heard lots of recommendations about using the PicMonkey app for creating style or mood boards when designing a space. Since we have moved into the new house and have quite a few remodeling plans I thought I should get more organized with my ideas and help narrow down what we want.

PicMonkey App

The app is quite user friendly and it didn’t take me but a few minutes to get going assembling design boards for the kids bedrooms and the master bathroom. I’m only using the free features within the app at this point.

Jacob’s bedroom – excited to add the vintage family trunk and old school maps we got at a garage sale awhile back – eventually he will have blackout drapes as well

When finding pictures of furniture or other pieces I already own I used Pinterest to search for similar pieces. From there I screenshot and crop the photos so they are ready to be added to the board. Then I can add in the pieces I’m debating on like the drapes for their rooms and see which combinations I like the best. 

Georgia’s Bedroom – we already have all the pieces but needed black out curtains as her room is west facing

I could see this also being a helpful way to go about planning a party, holiday decor, flower gardens or landscaping, inspirational items – many different options. It has been really fun getting a visual of what a room could look like!

Master Bathroom

Hi! I’m Emily Saladino and I am excited to be sharing ideas on lifestyle, homemaking, child rearing and spiritual growth. My husband, Josh, and I have 3 kids that we are raising in western Michigan where I am originally from. We aren’t in our forever home yet – in the process of searching and praying for the perfect piece of land or existing house that just speaks to us – out in the country with space to roam. Both of us are Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and I work part time to stay home with the kids the majority of the week. I enjoy decorating, fashion, cooking and overall management of our home – striving to make it healthy, happy and slowing down the pace of life. Hopefully this page can be a place of inspiration and add value to your day
