I adore design. When I say that – I mean coming up with the colors, concepts, floral designs and small details. I love it! Being able to do so for a living is more than a dream come true. I am inspired at the most random of things. Sometimes its my client- I want to know about my client, what they do for fun, how they dress, where they work and more. Other times it is from something I see in nature, while shopping or a random picture. So where do you get your inspiration?

Here are a few ideas of places to get inspired.

Local Book Store – it can be over-welming, but it could be the perfect place to be inspired.
Favorite Store – you already like it. Why not be inspired there.
Home Goods – MY FAVORITE! For me, it only takes one piece of glass or art to be inspired for a design or theme. Home Goods has so many fantastic things!
Nature - Go to your local park, a country field or even a zoo. Nature is all around us and is perfect for inspiration.

So the next time you need to be inspired, think outside of the box.  Your inspiration is right in front of you.
