You're listening to the Beautiful Mess Podcast. This week we're talking about how and why

it's helpful to create a mood board for your whole home.

We also answer a reader question about whether to embrace or avoid trends.

This episode is sponsored by Grove Collaborative.

We'll talk more about them later in this episode.

I'm excited about this episode because it's about making mood boards,

which is one of my favorite things ever in my whole life to do.

Have you made mood boards for your home?

Yeah, I usually do it.

I usually do exactly what I think you're going to say not to do in this episode,

which is, and I think part of it is,

so I make them room by room at the moment and the reason is because I've lived in my home now for about five years and so the majority of it's done but I am about to redo what we usually call Trey's music room

but now I like to troll him and I call it my podcast room.

Nice. Well I mean who's using it more and for what?

I mean, probably still he uses it more.

Plus, also, I like use all his equipment to record our podcasts.

So I'm really a guest in the room, but since I am in his music room a lot more, I've noticed that it could use a little more furnishing and like the chair that I sit in and that he sits in is not super comfortable.

It doesn't have any curtains on the windows,

which I actually think would improve the sound quality

as well as the look of the room.

And like, you know, when the sun gets you...

You'll sleep in there, remember?
