This week as I pondered what to write, I realized quickly that I had a bit of writer's block... uh oh! Then it hit me... I just needed a little inspiration.
Like everyone else, inspiration plays a large role in what we do. We pour over magazines when they come into the office, soaking in every image, every new light fixture and room arrangement. While we like to think that most of our ideas are original, we cannot deny that inspiration is very important to us. I love to find something new and try to incorporate it in someones' home. The feeling of showing a client a brand new way of doing something is exhilarating! "Check this out! It's the latest trend! Here's how we can make it work for you..." I love to see what other designers are doing and how they are taking old ideas, changing them and making them new! Even an old way of doing things , when represented in a pleasing way, can seem new!
Enough chit chat! Here are some photos that inspired me this week!
Elle Decor, filmmaker Michael Bay's bathroom
I love the shower and tub enclosed together!
House Beautiful, Family Room
I love the striking blue!
Pottery Barn, American Classic Bedroom
This one inspired me to do round mirrors over my bed instead of art! What a fun idea!
Hooker Furniture, Six Drawer Mirrored Front Chest
This is just a fun piece! I even like the rug and the chaise... I'd take the dog, too! :)
House Beautiful, Family Room
The neutral tones and the calm blues make a peaceful room. And look, there's my 3 mirrors again!
Hooker Furniture, L'Inspiration Script Chest
Well, it's right there in the name! Inspiration!
House Beautiful, Designer Bedroom
What's not to love?! Settee in the window, mirrored cabinets, clean and fresh colors... looks like a dream!
House Beautiful, Classic Library Design
Let's face it, if you're going to have a library THIS is THE library to have!! LOADS of books, tufted sofa and good lighting! I'm ready to curl up with a good book just looking at it!
Pottery Barn, Farmhouse Outdoor Space
Last, but not least, something that reminds me of home. Family gathered together around a big table with God as the decorator...perfection!
Be inspired this week!
