I love drawing upon the artistic vision of friends from differing disciplines to glean creative inspiration. Collaboration is more exciting and satisfying to me than just about anything, and I have so enjoyed the opportunities I’ve had to work with graphic designer Melody Hansen. Our first introduction was made through a mutual friend back when I was searching for someone to help me build this very blog, and our friendship has extended far beyond that project as we quickly found ourselves to be kindred spirits.

As if I didn’t already know that to be true, Melody has proven it in spades with her thoughtful and eclectic mood board for today’s installation of Oh Baby! I’m totally in love…

Melody has managed to capture so much of my two loves of travel and the art of the mix in the subtle details of her lovely mood board. From the hot air balloon mobile to the vintage world map and the Babar art print {traveling the world by whale} to the traditional rug and antique suitcases for a side table, the mix of “colonial adventurer” and “modern curator” is just delightful – totally on point to the adventure that awaits us with this little nugget!
For those of you who are searching for a graphic designer who is adept at understanding your vision and is an absolute joy to work with, you really must reach out to Melody. Thank you, my friend, for your thoughtfulness and for taking the time to put together such charming, wanderlust-filled feast of inspiration for us today! Oh the places we’ll go…
