The $5 DIY Mood Board | Beauty on a Budget

June 6, 2016 · In: DIY

$5 DIY Mood Board | House of Valentina
If you think all beautiful things cost a lot, forget it, ‘Cause I’m about to make a liar out of you.  (Respectfully, of course!)

Start by buying a wood board for $5 at the hardware store and paint it with whatever color you want the background to be.  (I had some black paint on hand but spray paint, acrylic, whatever you’ve got will work!)

Next, gather up your favorite magazine tears sheets, old photos, new photos, fabric scraps, paint swatches… basically anything that will get your mood going right for the week or even for an upcoming project!  If you want to splash out and buy two boards, you can double the impact with almost no extra money or effort!

Here is a little video to show you the board before!

Comment BLACK & I’ll send you the links!! Eeekkk!!! 👏🏽 

I read the most amazing article about how BLACK is a grounding color, not just for a room but for us! I just felt like my life just made that much more sense!! I felt like screaming yeeessssss!!! (I did it inside! Ok, I let out a little yeah, baby!!) but seriously. BLACK. The one color that never goes out of style, is always chic, feels fabulous to wear & live it. God. It’s just SO good!!! 

Love you all and hope you are having the best day everrr! XxV

29 years ago… these were the days I used to dream 29 years ago… these were the days I used to dream of! 

Today is yesterday’s dream! (Or a lot of yesterdays ago!) haha I used to play this song and dream of all the days we’d have together and the life we’d make, ones filled with a home, a family, little mornings out, drives through quaint downtown streets, antiques shopping. It was never a flashy dream. A simple one that felt like the most beautiful thing I could imagine if I closed my eyes and dreamed up my wildest fantasies!
