Sunshine and Song Inspiration

All the cold, gloomy weather has gotten us in the mood to dream a little into the warmer days!

We recently saw a room designed around a SONG. What an adorable idea. 
We've seen inspiration from fashion, family, travels ... but a song. We loved the theme.

So we decided to inspire YOU a little during this cold winter with some SUNSHINE.

Prints, Canvases, or Shower Curtains to start off a great song anyone??

Yellow is such a happy color that we have used in design before, 
and love the happy effect it gives on the space:

Anything goes! From a coffee cup, to a sunburst mirror. 
Each little touch brings in a few rays of sunshine ;)

Having a happy interior will make you feel warm and cozy, even when skies are gray ;)

What song would inspire YOU?

Traci "with an I"




A different type of post today as I take a break from client projects and think 
about the essence of being unique. My parents decided to spell my name differently
 and as I thought it was a pain growing up and correcting the spelling constantly, 
I have learned that I truly love the fact that it is different... so am I.

During a spell of "googling" myself (hey, we have to do it:), I stumbled across the 
blog "Traci with an I" and I laughed as I recounted my task of repeating this at 
every new Starbucks I go in. Who wants to spend the morning staring at a cup 
with your name spelled wrong??? Duh.



And then I was asked this common question during an interview last week-

"What is your philosophy on Design and Life?"

Smirking and pondering this question while I was getting ready and spritzing myself
with my favorite perfume, Coco Mademoiselle, my answer was perfectly clear.


That goes for design... that goes for life.

Dare to be different, Friends. You'll like it-

Top 5 Design and Inspiration Websites and Blogs

Do you find yourself surfing the web for ideas, inspiration, 
or trends about interior design?

What about if you are building a new home or renovating a space?
 Need some ideas to help you along?

We have 5 favorite websites that we LOVE to utilize to their fullest capabilities. 
Step into our world and check them out!

1. Houzz : 
This is a website that allows professionals to create portfolios and upload images of their work. Anyone can go on Houzz and create "idea books" and add any photos that they like to their account. You can search with any keyword such as "sectional" or "white kitchen" and Houzz will show you any and every photo that has to do with that keyword. 



Many people may already be very familiar with this website ;) This website almost acts like another "search engine" in which you can literally search for anything you'd like and then "repin" photos to your "boards" that you create. Anyone can upload images to pinterest from online or your own computer.



DecorPad is a source for decorating, renovating, and home building. Anyone can upload images to their different categories and that makes these photos searchable to the web, giving everyone new ideas and inspiration!


While this is also a great magazine, their website is a great resource for any questions, tips and trends that may be going on in the world. There are many articles and photo galleries to search and browse.


Also another magazine that gives even more information and articles online. This website trends more to the DIY person and gives many tips and ideas for homemade design ideas.

Check these websites out and you might just find yourself 
ready to start your own project!!
