{Mood Board Monday} Etsy Artwork

I am so excited to participate in my first Mood Board Monday link party with Sarah at Pewter+Sage.  I haven't created a mood board since college (and I am still a little new to making it on the computer) but I had a lot of fun creating this room for a pretend client with no budget!!

Sarah's challenge is to create a room around one of three unique pieces of art from creative Etsy artists. I choose to work with Carl Christensen's photo "Romance of Fall".

Isn't it beautiful?! I chose this piece of art because of the rustic feel with the trees and the beautiful colors of the autumn leaves.

For this board, I set out to create a rustic yet beautiful space with a modern color scheme. My color scheme was pulled directly from the photo- the yellow of the leaves, the gray of the sidewalk and the white wooden fence.  I also incorporated many rustic elements to bring the "nature" in.

• The art work, "Romance of Fall" is the star of this room. Everything is centered around this one piece.
• The dark charcoal gray paint, Benjamin Moore's Amherst Gray, makes the room feel cozy and modern.
• The Paloma Dining Table from Crate & Barrel is a simple and beautiful dining table with wood tones that warm up the room.
• The Slip Buttercream Side Chairs, also from Crate & Barrel, are on either end and tolix-like chairs fill the length of the table. The modern side chairs help to lighten up the space and  these 1934 Dining Chairs from Sundance feel somewhat like a chair in a farm house which I imagine is right on the other side of the fence in the photograph. 
• The "Birds Nest Chandelier" (Antique Bronze 5-light Pendant Chandelier from Overstock) is a modern take on a dining room chandelier. 
• A yellow bois print rug brings a pop of color into this rustic room.
• Light, airy curtains balance out the bolder, darker, colors, texture and fabrics.
• A cute little birdy on the Chickadee Yellow Dinner Plates from Crate & Barrel add a bit of whimsy to the table and tie in nicely with the Amber Luster Glassware from Pier 1. 
• and adding some fun Billy Button flowers in mason jars for a centerpiece on the table finishes off the room! 

I'm still learning when it comes to mood boards but I enjoyed putting this one together! Make sure you hop over to Sarah's blog and check out the other mood boards. They are all gorgeous!
