inspiration instigates change! My Park Avenue apartment was inspired by the restful hues of a wheat field at different times of day —but especially that perfect moment when the sun is setting in the distance and the roots take on an aubergine glow. The color radiates to the tip of the wheat, which shines with a golden sparkle. Likewise, I suffused the rooms with rich golds, warm grays, and sultry purples accented with touches of sparkle for a dramatic exclamation.
ABOVE are highlights from the inspiration board that helped hone my look and keep me focused while shopping for everything from wallpaper (a Thibault pheasant print) to faucets (Shelton Mindel’s crystal orbs for Waterworks). An inspiration board is essential for guiding not only your decor—but also your life. You can put anything there: a pretty picture; a grouping of things that, when put together, somehow makes a new and touching moment for you every time you see it; a photograph of Michelle Obama or Hillary Rodham or a skinny bitch in a bikini that inspires you to pass over those potato chips in favor of a healthier snack that helps you achieve a weight goal. Your inspiration board can grow and change. You can take things down or put them back up. I like to hang mine in a location that I pass often throughout the day, walking by at different times and in different moods to see how it makes me feel.
BELOW are a few inspiring things that I found while on-line shopping (one of my favorite sports).
Naturally, they're all about nature.
