What Inspires You?

Is it color that rules your world? Maybe it’s whimsical decor that drags a smile across your face. What inspires your decorating style?

Are you inspired by reinventing new things from old? By being green?

I am very much inspired to hunt down some old arched doors or windows after seeing this picture. What a wow-factor!

And this…this is the idea I have tossed around for years! They covered this refrigerator in chalkboard paint and covered the handles in jute twine. Exactly the inspiration I needed to resurrect my Frankenstein fridge.

So, what inspires you?

Have a wonderful week,

I am inspired by all the awesome blogs out there. I have done so many little projects and crafts due to the fact that I saw them on a blog. Oh and Pottery Barn is a huge inspiration. They have such great ideas that you can just make at home!

Blogs inspires me, I have done things I would have never done if I had been for blogs .
When I got married I got away from things I loved because husband didn't like it.
I loved French Country trying to get some areas of my house back to that.
Did you see Kimber's blog today, love those paints.
Also, did you see Rhoda's blog I had no idea about the Queen Of Hearts Antique Mall on Canton Rd.
I went there on Saturday and found my old Kitchen scale I had been looking for a long time for.

Your blog and many others give me inspiration. For some reason, it seems more "doable" than a decorating magazine article. I love every picture you have in this post!

Hi Misti :)

I'm inspired by so many things! It used to be magazines, but now blogs have taken over. I love so many different looks.... from all white to color everywhere. I think I'm somewhere in the middle, but I can change my mind in an instant to what thrills me. No matter what through, I always go back to what I love. It's nice to dream though ;)

xo,

love the chalkboard fridge! How practical and gorgeous at the same time.

Ballard Designs, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Nell Hills are a few of the companies that inspire me.

Happy Summer!
