Dreaming of colour..

The ground has been covered in snow here for almost a week now, and it's funny how quickly you get used to everything being white and there being a distinct lack of colour. Don't get me wrong, snow is amazingly beautiful, especially when the light shines on it and it sparkles like crystals, but now it's turning to brown slush and I am really looking forward to spring and colour starting to arrive in my life.

For now my colour 'hit', as it were, and inspiration come from Pinterest, where I found this lovely image I used to create this colour palette/mini mood board for inspiration!

Dreaming of spring..

In the dead of winter when it's freezing cold and grey outside it's hard to imagine warmth and colour outside, and sometimes it's just nice to have some eye candy, so today I am sharing with you this little mood board I made..
