Today was a rare occasion; I got to stroll around some decor blogs.

It reminded me of how much I used to love looking for inspiration in decor magazines, books and blogs. I loved finding that perfect picture or decorating idea and saying to myself, “now, that is me.” I am not artistic myself, but good at finding what I like. I would take that fabulous look and …..someday incorporate it into my space.

Then the same thing happened to me that happens to most women when they grow-up. I share this home with a man who loves status quo décor. I do not have that absolutely unique house I dreamed of (suburbia works for us.) My time is spent running and caring for this company, our home and the four offspring that live in it. While I love all of the above mentioned, my décor inspiration has been temporary off somewhere.

It’s time to go back to basics, my loyal black book.

When I was young and got my first apartment I had no idea what I liked and what style defined me. I was buying things right and left forming a random collection “temporary” of things in a room. Nothing fit. So I started a décor journal. I bought a big black book and when I saw something I absolutely loved I cut it out and posted it. Over the years styles have changed and so have I, but if you look through my book you will still see me and the definition of my style. (Also, keeps me focused when shopping.)

As parents and/or business owners our passions get temporarily set aside for busy family schedules and bottom lines. My passion is decor with simple ways to make your home unique to you and it’s time to rekindle!

Over the next few days Parrish (the amazing design artist and article writer for this blog) and I will be reinventing the look of this Blog. You will also start to see my most recent clippings of inspiration, new stimulating products and continue to find articles of great simple décor ideas.
