Olioboard will help me build a room around this bedspread from Target.

As I work to set up my new apartment (yes, it’s been five months and we’re no where NEAR up and running) it’s been almost impossible for me to figure out the pieces I want, the color scheme I eventually want to achieve, and so on.

A lot of our crafty friends use “mood boards” as a way to find the look they want for a room.  But the arranging and configuring is just too much for me. I’m simply too lazy to online shop and then worry about how to arrange the screengrabs in a way that helps me “see” the room.  I’ve actually thought to myself, “That’s one too many steps.  And now So You Think You Can Dance is on.”  And then I give up.

But!

Then I stumbled upon  Olioboard, which is a automatic mood board creator.  Now, I can just hunt for the pieces I’m interested in and it has all the necessary tools to easily arrange them into a vision. Amazing!  Someone has actually invented the very tool that addresses – and fixes – my shortcomings as a design freak.

I recently got this beautiful and ultra comfy comforter from Target, and have a dresser from Ikea to pair it with and now with Olioboard, I can figure out what lamps and other accessories also look good – all from the comfort of my couch!  I mean, can you even?  I’ll try to post the finished board soon.
