In early spring I begin venturing outside to some of my favorite stores, not just to bring home that fabulous new  table lamp- but to glean from the stores vast array of design ideas for my home.

I look and try to learn from their displays – hoping to find an ideas I can  incorporate in my home.

Things that Inspire me-

• Chic displays I can use as inspiration for design ideas.
• How they group pictures, books, and architectural elements.
• New color combinations.
• Use of linens.
• Unusual use of everyday items.

I used this idea at home in my Master bedroom.

This gave me a wonderful idea of what I could do to my Dinning Room chandelier, by just making a few adjustments I will have just about the same effect.

I find after a long day of “window shopping” my shopping bag  is over flowing… with ideas that is.

Plus it’s lots of fun, doesn’t cost anything….well, unless you get a little tempted. Happy shopping.

Where do you find inspiration?
