                    Inspiration

Since starting my blog, I have realized how much I enjoy taking pictures. Here a few things around my house that I love and that inspire my design.

Crowns




French Zinc Pots
I can't seem to get enough of them!

Nests, eggs, and shells
nature does it best






Old silver
never polish

I love this old toy train stop sign!


This old typewriter is one of the first things I bought to sell, but decided to keep.


Architectural elements are my passion.
That's a whole other post!


Old glass bottles

I really love when they change color.


Old clocks, locker baskets
the rustier the better!



Hydrangeas are my favorite!
  beautiful dried as well



I have an obsession with French documents.
I have used them in several projects
including candles, pillows, mirrors and even my business card.




French document fabric from Ballard Design


These are a few of my favorite things.
What inspires you?

  1. Oh Sandra,
    I love your photos! They are so beautiful. I can see why you love taking them, your really great at it! My passions are anything with creamy white or gray - blue chippy paint, paired with mercury glass or vintage lamps and chandeliers.
    I love your blog!
    Take care.
    Sincerely,
    Melinda
