Today is a brand new day with sunshine peeking out behind the clouds, my living room was flooded with sunshine this morning that did make my heart leap a bit.
SO, I feel like I did kind of misspeak given the rainy day yesterday because I really can't say when creativity, the desire to move outside, and/or the feeling of sedation will suddenly set in. And, even when I am shut indoors I do still find myself designing inside and shifting things around from here to there.
Yesterday, during an acupuncture treatment I was redesigning a client's space----blah, blah, blah.
Each day in any given moment has it's varying degrees of motivation.
And, lucky us, we can emerge and cocoon ourselves in many, many ways throughout this entire winter season.
If you aren't outside in the thick of it, take some time to decipher what is truly inspiring to you--
I picked up a bunch of design books recently and LOVE sifting through.
This perfect curvy photo has shaken down to my core; way out of my simple, squared off design box::

I don't even think I need to breathe a word more.
Except to say, while you're considering what really does it for you, also simmer on how you really will and wish to use and relate to your space. How will you most likely spend time in it? Seriously.
What kind of spaces do you need to really get you out into it~ lounging, cooking, playing, hosting, growing a larger edible garden to harvest from or simply a small space for herbs, native grassy meadow or grove of trees. Maybe a singular shade tree is all you know. These are your basic building blocks to start from.
I do find that the two naturally intermingle and come together simultaneously.
Being inspired always taps into how YOU can make it your own, exactly how you need it.
Dream on....
