Sneak a Peek at The Decorative Accents That Inspire Me

by Sasha on October 20, 2011

BIrch Coffee Table with Decorative Scrollwork Top

I am a decorator because I couldn’t afford to do anything else.
I love pretty things,
I connect with them,
fall in love with them,
and instantly I’m consumed with an urge to showcase them.

I have a hard time explaining this obsession to people. But if you’ve ever felt the “I have to have this” about a painting, or a vase, or a pillow… you have an idea of what I mean.

Finding the right home for a pretty thing satisfies me, even if the “right home” isn’t my home. In a nutshell, that’s why I am a decorator. Without this creative outlet, I’d probably wind up a hoarder.

Whenever I come across an item that takes my breath away, I add it to my “Decorating Inspiration List” so that when the right home comes along, I can match it with the perfect accessory. Until now I’ve kept this list to myself. I guess it’s never occurred to me to share it, but that’s about to change…

Consider this my online decorating inspiration binder, my collection of pretty things that need a home, and it’s yours to enjoy.

Here are just a few of the items that made the cut, but there are a lot more. Click here to see the growing list.
