People often ask me what inspires me when designing interiors.
L to R: Lisa w/ Hamptontoes, Elizabeth w/ Pretty Pink Tulips, Ashley w/ Asha, Sue w/ the Zhush & Carolyn w/ The Buzz
A homeowner's wardrobe can be a strong indicator as to the type of style championed. Is the home inhabited by one who dresses elegantly and timeless, is it one who loves a modern day take on classics, perhaps the individual loves some splashes of glamour and fun in their ensembles, do they dress in neutral with bold accessories or maybe the homeowner dresses with a bohemian sense of style?
Last night I had some fun "stepping out" for a couple of hours to join some lovely blogging buddies for a fashion show. We attended the Carlisle & Per Se Fashion Show in Greenwich sponsored by Connecticut Cottages and Gardens http://www.ctcandg.com/. Carolyn of http://thebuzz.dianejameshome.com/ modeled fashions with her lovely sister and mother...they were fabulous!
The evening reminded me that fashion (just one of my many influences) and interior design are closely related. What inspires you when pulling together an interior space?
Reading what inspires other designers like you always gets my creative juices going... It was such fun to see you last night!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I am like you it can come from anywhere. I think it is because we creative types are always creating in our minds, I know my brain hardly ever turns off the creative button. I must say what four gorgeous ladies!!! How fun to have met them all, lucky ladies,Happy weekend, KATHYSUE
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, thanks for sharing what inspires you...
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful how you've all become so close because of blogging. You make me want to live on the East Coast!
Have the best weekend!

What a true line up of beauties! Absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteAs for inspiration, it usually color or a fabric that begins the process for me. A very cool object of piece of art can be very inspiring as well :)
Looks like you already had a great start to the weekend XOXO, Kelly
I would have loved sliding up into the group for a follow along in the fun. I know it was a blast!

ReplyDeleteI wished I could have been there but then again standing next to all your beauty queens- Hmmm, stiff competition!
