Where Designers get inspiration!!

Many times a client will ask after we've presented a design, "How did you come up with that?"

In all honesty, it comes in all forms, in all kinds of places.  It's something that speaks to you visually and emotionally and stays in your subconscious mind.  I'm getting ready to design my daughter's condo in Charleston and the orange/turquoise color combo has been speaking to me for some time now.  I've seen it in fashion, nature, jewelry and tabletop items, not to mention rooms designed by some  fabulous interior designers!

A Sharlena Bernard purse is breathtaking!  I think the interior color of a handbag is just as exciting as the outside.

 A room can really come to life based on something seen in nature or outdoors.  How about this boat in the water? I know, crazy huh?

This fun table setting is pretty unique and would add a fresh spark to a brunch or luncheon.

This necklace from fab.com is one of my daughter's favorites.  I knew she would love to be surrounded in these colors!

This dress just makes me happy!!  It would make me happier if I could look as good as this model :)

And finally, here are 3 photos of interiors that I absolutely love!!

This space is on my list of top favorites ever!!

Talk about an amazing room!!  Tobi Fairley gave me goosebumps with this one!!

This room should take away any fear of using color in your home.  It makes me smile just looking at it.

If I can't incorporate this into my home, my daugher will just have to live with it.  Poor thing........
