THE DESIGN CHASER

Pinterest | Picks & Peeks

9.25.2012

What I love about Pinterest is that it opens your eyes up to new things. Take me for example. I love interiors and design, but since I've been on Pinterest I've been able to expand on that, and find inspiration in other areas like graphic design and photography. Whenever I grab a dose of Pinterest I find something that takes my breath away, and what can be better than that? 

Curating these moodboards is an extension of pinning, and I love the process of choosing images around a theme, across different categories. Of course there are no rules, but it usually starts with a colour or an image and from there I generally choose from a selection of pins: interiors, flowers, graphic design, fashion and accessories, quotes and  photography.

Here are my latest moodboards. 

This moodboard was inspired by my recent birthday! 

This one started with a colour theme and words to live by: love what you do, do what you love. 

A motivating moodboard for a Monday morning! 


There was such a great response to this interview with Lindi Kingi, and my neon moodboard on Facebook, that I decided to team up with Lindi and run a little giveaway!

Neon yellow and grey is such a great combo!

Today's pinning princess is Deborah Moir, who I discovered fairly recently. You may know her from Instagram, where she has a huge following due to a constant stream of lovely photos, featuring her gorgeous home in Scotland. Luckily for us Pinterest addicts, Deborah is also now a pinner, and a very good one at that!

Here a couple of pins from Deborah's interior boards.

Judging by her personal style and collection of boards on Pinterest, you'd be forgiven for thinking Deborah was Scandinavian. She has completely mastered the art of achieving this aesthetic in her own home, which I find so inspiring. I can't get enough of the neutral palette, white painted floors and impeccable styling. The fact that she can maintain this incredible look with two young boys is even more astounding. I am in awe!

These pins are photos of Deborah's home.

I was delighted to hear that Deborah has a blog in the works. Due to launch soon, I'm sure it will be an instant hit! In the meantime, you can check out her Guest Posts on one of my favourite blogs A Merry Mishap.

  1. I am crazy about Pinterest, and you have some divine boards. Lindi was one of the first creative people I blogged about, she is so lovely, and so talented. It has been so great seeing her success spiral. I have to say the 'pink' board too, the girl in the dress on the steps... love that image. After reading your interview the other day I am now obsessed with ther neon tassel earrings, must get a pair. x

    1. Yes, do it! I have them in both pink and yellow neons (funny that) and love them! Isn't Lindi an angel? Super-talented. I saw that you are on Pinterest, but haven't yet had a proper look at your boards! I bet I'll love them! x x
