inspiration day!

I have come to really enjoy days like these when I share things that inspire me! No, really....I get giddy! Today, I thought it would be fun for us to share these inspirations together and see what creative ideas we come up with! Sounds fun, right? So, pour yourself a cup of coffee and get cozy with your computer and a sketchbook and lets get inspired!



I thought I'd share what I find inspiring about these photos and then you could share what's inspiring you in the comments section! I can't wait to hear all of your ideas!






1. This makes me want to create unique and "home-y" pillows for our couch! Sometimes the handmade touch makes a house feel like a home. :)





2. I can't get over the colors in this room....how are they so beautifully bright and also soft! Plus that mantle?!?! ....adorable.








3. This dishrag is a work of art! It inspires me to make even the most mundane and "every day" things into something beautiful...








4. I really want to make this DIY! How cute is that?! I'm inspired to share more DIY's with all of you too!








5. This makes me feel so warm....I love the feeling of vintage style photography.









6. This is simply beautiful! I must make a new fabric book soon...or perhaps a journal?!





7. How pretty is this?....I'm toying with the idea of creating my own jewelry! What do you think?






8. This color combination.....stunning.







9. This inspires me to draw in my sketchbook....it's been months!







10. Darling! I want to create artwork that is simple, authentic, and from the heart....like this!









11. Now this is cute! I want to make a banner like this for my studio...only maybe spell something out with it!









12. This is so soft and lovely....I want to play with photography again!








Thanks for having your coffee with me and getting inspired together! I can't wait to make a "post-it-note-list" of projects to start! Dont' forget to share your favorite photos and ideas in the comments....I can't wait! Thanks for making my day so happy :)


happy wednesday!

Oh, love that pillow! We're moving, so I'm brainstorming ways to make our new space fresh with our old things... but I might just have to have my lovely seamstress friend make me something like that!

Beautiful things. Thanks for sharing, Molly!

The flower ring is adorable, I bet you could put the flower on other things too like purses, necklaces, or dishtowels. I love the colors in #8, they make me want make my world more colorful and create things in that kitchen! I also love those frames in #10, they are like sunshine vintage.
