Remember a couple of weeks ago I told you about my One Kings Lane mood board that I entered into their "The Build Your Perfect Room" contest? Well, yesterday, to my surprise, this tweet was sent to my attention from OlioBoard: Me? Hooray! I was so honored! I mean, of course, I love my selections but it's flattering to hear that you did to! Here's a look at the final mood board: So, what do you love about this board?  

This post is WAY over due. Now am I surprised? Not at all. I'm fortunate to wear several hats - Realtor, mother, wife, decorator, home renovator, furniture re-modeler and I think party planning has temporarily been added to my list.
