Hi, friends. This is Emma. Before we begin today's episode, I wanted to make sure that you know about a resource that we have been building for many years.

Did you know that we offer courses over lots of different subjects like podcasting, blogging, Instagram, photography,

and even a few smaller courses like one that our literary agent Lindsay wrote about how to pitch your book idea?

You can find all these options and more at courses.abutifulmess.com.

We only teach courses on subjects we or the other teachers we partner with have extensive experience in.

We want to help others grow and have success.

And we know firsthand the power of learning to make a living or even just a side income online through the creative talents that you probably already have.

We'd love to share all our best tips, tricks, secrets, and mistakes that we've made over the years so that you don't have to.

Our courses are always available so you don't have to sign up for a wait list or plan your year around when the materials are available.

It's ready when you are. And you get access to the entire course at once so you can work through it as quickly or as slowly as you need.

So if you've ever dreamed of starting your own podcast, blog, maybe you want to grow your Instagram or even pitch a book idea you have, go check out our courses.

Just go to courses.abutifulmess.com.

If you're listening to the AbutifulMess podcast this week we're teaching you how to define and develop your decor style and also how to make mood boards.

These skills can really help you on your quest to make your own cozy dream home. Laura is joining me this week. Hi Laura.

Hi everybody. So we are big mood board people so I'm really excited that you could join me on this episode and teach everyone how to do it.

In the show notes we will for sure show our mood board from our current homes because we I mean they've been on the blog before but they are like a big deal.

Would you say it's like one of the first big choices you make when you start a renovation?

Yeah and it hasn't always been like a physical mood board. I've done a lot of it in my head I think in the past and maybe that's also because like Pinterest was newer at the time so I wasn't going to like cut out magazines and make like a physical one.

But the more that like it became easier to get like stuff on a pin board then I think it's just so helpful to see everything all in one spot.

It's so easy to do even if you're not like a huge Photoshop expert or anything you know you can still do it with like the template app which I've done before.

It's just really easy to make a mood board these days. So first let's talk about developing your style. So Laura and I we've been friends a long time.

We met because our husbands were best friends they used to be in a band together and like tour around together and so I met her when I started dating Jeremy and we fell in love when she started we both started renovating our first homes together like we bought our first homes at the same time.
