I joined Inspire Me Heather's Project Blogging a couple of weeks ago. The goal is to gather anonymous critique and suggestions for your blog. Here is one of the comments Heather forwarded me:
"I thought her blog was absolutely beautiful. Very readable. Nice sized photos. Good-looking sidebar. The only negative I saw was that she rarely posts. If a blogger doesn't post at least 2-3 times per week, I lose interest because I feel like the "relationship" I have with that blogger has been interrupted. Just my personal feeling!"
And it hit the nail right on the head! I started blogging in May 2008 for fun, and never felt the need to commit to the frequency of posts. But, over time the blogging grows on me, and I truly love it provides me with an outlet for creative thinking, writing, sharing and gathering feedback on design projects. In short, writing and reading blogs makes me...happy! So, one of my 2012's resolutions is to blog more often, say 2-3-posts-per-week type of often. Let see how long I can keep up. :-)
Now getting into the subject this post: I've started to plan our master bathroom renovation slated for March/April timeframe. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you will know how much I love the mood board, and here's another one. I find this exercise helps me visualize how the room might look like when different elements pooled together. It also helps organize the list of things I will need to buy (and for this room, it's a lo-ong list!).

Do you like the mood board? Is there anything you would suggest changing/improving?
Before I go about buying pretty things, I need to first make sure our contractor would approve the new layout. It involves knocking down a wall, removing a tub and its deck, relocating vent and toilet. This is the current layout of our bathroom...what was the builder thinking when they put the shower door right behind the door? Yes, they bumped into each other every frigging time we get in and out of the shower! And the massive tub deck is a joke...not only could we not use that space, it also quickly became such an eye sore.

This is what I will show to our contractor, and hopefully they will tell me everything is doable. Fingers crossed.
