The moss wall

I had my first introduction to podcasts this week when I stumbled upon an interview with Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and Genevieve Gorder (interior designer and HGTV host) on After The Jump. Bonney started out the program with an ode to Genevieve by reminiscing about a certain episode of Trading Spaces where Gorder transformed a bedroom by adding moss to the wall. This got me thinking since this exact episode was the same spark for my obsession with design as it was for Bonney.

Fast forward 10+ years and I still think back to that moss wall and how it totally pushed you out of the box and opened your imagination. After that anything was possible. Over the past 6 months as we painstakingly wait for our house to be vacated by our renters I have been toying with the idea of adding sanded barn board to a feature wall in our living room; very trendy right now in all capacities but I love it. 

Stay tuned to see what we actually do, but whatever it is, the design will be rooted from a little moss wall installed over a decade ago.
