Here I was, bored and in a mood....

Nick, your timing is impeccable.

So it's like what Pinterest should have been, but now you don't even pin things, rather "save" them. I miss the simple days of Pinterest. It's so cluttered with garbage now.

Oooo. As a designer I've been making mood boards for over 15 years. But the software you're using is a total game changer! So much easier than the archaic software in using. I love how the links to the items are saved, and how you can add comments. I'll be downloading this immediately! Thanks for the video. Super helpful and informative for the novice and expert alike. 👍🏽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This video is posted just at the right time. I’m helping my aunt re-do her bathroom so she can age in her home. It will be helpful in helping her choose tile and fixtures.

Holy Cats!!! You can make swatches all together instead of saying you will remember, but in this case you can really remember!!!! It allows you to capture your creativity but adds the useful and logical bits that are also essential for making your vision come to life!

I love the pace you talk and how you get right to the information without blah blahing for hours ...

As an interior designer myself, I LOVE mood boards. They really help to envision what my client wants in their living spaces. Great explanation and video!

[SeaTurtle]

Short, but sweet. And thank you for keeping your videos focused on design and decor and not going off into other topics too much. A small amount is fine. 🙂

[RosCCkpg]

Really appreciate the informative yet gentle way of talking, thank you

[merinashakya]

I love how not a word is wasted in your videos.

[trishhykes]

Seriously perfect timing! I’ve been trying to put together a mood board and color palette for our living/dining space!!

[Mieleous]

The process of watching other people building mood boards is so satisfying ✨

Danke! This finally made me turn my loose thoughts into a plan, and hopefully into action for our guest room/home office. greetings from Germany

I love the beginning of this video and I love that sometimes you keep your mistakes in. Listen, no one is perfect and I love those subtle imperfections. Enjoying (and learning a lot) from your channel! :)

This video is EXTREMELY helpful - thank you! I'm getting ready to redecorate a 200+ squ. ft bedroom (which is currently a darker beige that looks brown) with one oddly-placed north facing window. I am rather hopeless when it comes to styling and home decor (and I can really only do things on a tight budget right now). Your channel has helped me so much and I am about to sign up for milanote to help this process. Thank you again - can't wait to watch future videos.

[MyFocusVaries]

Thank you! This tutorial changed my mood from from "cranky" to "happy", which is a better palette. I liked the idea of Milanote, but was too intimidated to even look at it. A tutorial is exactly what I needed!

[flowersafeheart]

This method looks so, so, so helpful. An improvement over just a Pinterest board or making a collage on Canva or a phone's collage feature for example or piecing together phone apps and free online tools that none of them do everything and aren't always set up user-friendly or quality and can have lots of ads and is a bunch of different tools instead of this more all-in-one method. And not everyone wants to have or learn Photoshop. So excited to try this!!!! So fun. It's always worth looking through comments on videos. Below a comment says PNG documents can more easily have backgrounds removed than JPEGs can - great to know!! There's probably many easy online or app tools to convert JPEG to PNG.

[oursimplestory]

Another awesome video Nick!! Love the other tools you recommended as well!!
