Creating a Vignette with a Storyline

A translation tool I use from time to time is a worksheet I created called “The Style Mashup.” In it, I take you through the process of describing some of your favorite things and thinking about how you’d represent those in terms of color, pattern, materials, etc.

The purpose of the tool is to help you define your style in a way that’s completely opposite of putting yourself into a singular style category (such as “farmhouse,” “boho,” “hollywood glam,” etc).
