Inspiration Board: It’s the Little Things That Make a House a Home

We draw inspiration from design bloggers. Where do they draw their inspiration from? We asked Karla Swoveland from It’s the Little Things That Make a House a Home a few questions and from her answers, imagined what an inspiration board in her house might look like.

MHI: My favorite paint colors are… KS: From Benjamin Moore: “Wedgewood Gray”, “Templeton Gray”, and “Stratton Blue”. From the Lowe's Earth Elements Collection: “Dust Storm” and “Swoosh.” From Behr: “Cherry Tree” for the perfect red front door! We’re in love with Karla’s perfectly organized gift wrapping station, where she used Stratton Blue to pretty-up the peg board. Check out that post here, and see her home’s Cherry Tree red front door here.
