Creativity is everything to me. I recently caught part of a great interview with Herbie Hancock who was collaborating with Sting on a remake of the song “Sister Moon”. They decided to work with an artist from South Africa. They really loved what he was coming up with and when they started trying to join with his guitar part they struggled a little at first. Herbie Hancock said, “we really needed to own it not just work with it.” I so connected with that. They really went there with the music and ended up with a great version of the song.
I just love doing that myself. If I am stuck I walk away from the computer or whatever it is that I am using to create my vision. I put on some music and sit back close my eyes and let the music guide me through my thoughts and visions. I love that moment when it all comes together!
For those of you who are stuck on coming up with a vision for your room, do your favorite relaxing thing and you won’t believe how your clear your visions can become. You will see the piece in the room that really matters. You start to work with that for inspiration or maybe see a new piece to include in the room.

Here are a few of my favorite designer rooms that I love to use for inspiration
Barbara Barry – Baker Furniture
Love her style – elegant and beautiful, in this photo it is even shown through the artwork!
I just recently read a great description of who he is a Style Compass, I think that states it right on. He knows how to mix it up well and with such style!
Tobi Fairley – House Beautiful
My latest favorite designer. I find her use of color very original and done with such elegance!
Happy Decorating!
