What does your inspiration look like?

April 25, 2011

inspiration

Posted 09/12

Do you have a small space or area in your home that displays photos, cards, or color pieces that make you smile? I love getting ideas from Decor8 or Creative Mint of different ways you can create an inspiration board….things that get you inspired or inspire creativity:) It doesn’t take much, but when you have visuals around your home to remind you of what you love, it can make a big difference in keeping a positive attitude in your life. My living room is full of pictures of my family and religious art, and my studio room is full of color:)….. and my fridge….loaded with cards and photos! 
What does your inspiration look like??

Hope you all had a Blessed Easter weekend! We are having a food, family, and fun hangover today! It was wonderful to have all of my family together. If only we lived in the same state:(

    I can’t wait to have an office space to fill with these types of things! 🙂

  5. I’ve been trying to put together a board in my closet office area. The only problem is, I’ve got so much stuff on it! I may need to edit it down! haha

  6. Christy says:

    I love these boards! I love seeing people’s inspiration boards, bulletin boards, whatever! I think they’re great insights into a person’s personality!

  7. Michaela says:

    I love spreading fabrics and color swatches out like that. The pictures above look so beautiful! Nothing like my desk the night before a design board is due (; hehe I’m redoing my desk area at home and my plan is to make a big bulletin board where I can pin up all my favorite designs, fabrics and colors!

  8. Anna Elder says:

    my desk is kinda cluttered with all kinds of stuff. ha. i’ve been meaning to get a cork board and start pinning away. but you know, pintrest works pretty well too! there are too many beautiful things on the internet! hope you had a wonderful Easter and a great 1st Easter with your new little one, Anna!! xo

  9. Martina says:

    Very inspirational – especially the first picture! Time to make a new board myself soon. Hope you’re having a wonderful easter with that cute bunny-baby Veronica Rose – and the rest of your loved ones!

  10. Nuha says:

    I’m always so envious of other bloggers inspiration boards. I have one, but I keep old cards, pictures, and reminders on it. i wish I had the guts to cut out pictures from my magazines, but I’m a bit too attached to them haha

  11. I’d love to have an inspiration board in my work area – must do it soon! xx

  12. Lori says:

    I love these inspiration boards. I unfortunately don’t have one, but this is a great idea 🙂

  13. i wish my home or inspiration space could look half as nice as these! love the grey and yellow!

  14. Right now I don’t really have the best of a creative space, but hopefully I will soon when we buy a house. I need it though! So I basically just turn to blogs for inspiration and it usually works 🙂

  15. stephanie says:

    all these are just breathtaking! why can’t i have this in my house!!! ; ) hope you had a great easter with your family!

  16. I love how organized and color coated these boards look! Mines a little bit of randomness! haha

    Glad you had such a great weekend with fam and are continuing it into today 😉

  17. Kate Lewis says:

    My studio is under construction so I’m gathering inspiration for my new inspiration board. Love the linen background in the second image!

  18. Hi Anna, thank you for this post! Congrats on your little baby girl! What a special time for you. Take care.

  19. both are very talented ladies! I always get ideas from them!

  20. Shea says:

    I don’t have an inspiration board or space, but I think it’s time that I did! My only problem is space!!

  21. I keep a lot on my computer as I’m rarely home these days, though I think I may start keeping inspiration boards for the parties I throw… Seriously, this post itself is an inspiration!

  22. Mine are all powerpoint photo boards but I’d LOVE a real life/real board I could touch – these are all lovely- especially love the pink and yellow!

  23. jessica says:

    i love inspiration boards!! i’ve actually been wanting to recover mine with some fun fabric… and find new and inspiration to change it up a little..

  24. Yay, what a great post! We need to surround ourselves with things we love. I’ve been thinking about how and where I can have this space in our first place, and I I need to actually do it! Fun fun : )

  25. This is lovely! I’m your newest follower!

  26. yes! I’ve just recently moved and I’ve been dying to re-establish a little corner of my own. These are so lovely

  27. NikkNaks says:

    This is just one more reason I need a 2 bedroom house. My craft stuff is jammed in bins, and clothes are busting from every seem of the house! I need to spread myself out and create an environment for creativity… thanks for the inspiration!

  28. i love this post! i am collecting inspiration for a table display next month and need to boost my inspiration/creativity.

    hope your weekend was great.

  29. it’s very similar over here too, we have a ton of insp pics, cut outs and memorabilia scattered around. feels more homey that way to me and i love how Sean incorporates his man-ness in it all as well. good balance for sure. adore the yellow & grey combo, gimme some o’ that! ♥

  30. WOW…I’m pretty sure things that inspire me look like *THAT*! I’m so glad there are so many ridiculously talented people in the blogging world to keep the fires of creativity at rip-roaring pace (c:

  31. Elissa says:

    these inspiration boards are great. mine is a bit scattered at the moment as i begin the long process of moving, but i’m hoping one day to have an inspiration board in the heart of my home that can be a constant reminder to be creative!

  32. thais. says:

    inspiration boards are definitely a push to creativity. love these ones. and happy you got to have a wonderful family time 😉

  33. Love these !! I’m always reworking my inspiration boards / wall. I used to hate posting photos on walls as it can look to jr high, but with washi tape to decorate the photos any surface can be a board !!
