I have the incredible honor of judging a fun contest being held by Olioboard and PoshTots called PoshTot’s Children’s Bedroom Design Contest!
Do you have the need to create a nursery for your new baby? Or is your toddler now growing into a big boy bed? Or do you just want to shop for some fun new additions to your child’s bedrooms? If you answer yes to any of these, this contest is for you (and believe me, it’s so easy to do!).
You get to create your OWN moodboard for your dream children’s bedroom and enter to win money to create it!!! What is a moodboard, you ask? A moodboard is a collage of products you create to show what you would put into a room. Now that there is an app for everything, there is a great website where you can create a moodboard online called, Olioboard. BELIEVE me when I say it is as easy as picking a chair you like and dragging it to a your board and voila! Then do it again for your pillows or mirrors or lighting, etc. You’ve created a moodboard.
If you haven’t heard of PoshTots yet, you MUST go over and check out their adorable nursery and children’s bedroom furniture and decor. With a new baby on the way and a three year old moving into a “big girl” room, founder Andrea Edmunds wanted inspiring, quality furnishings for her children. So she created PoshTots with her business partner.
So onto the contest. See all of the details below and get creating!!!
