An Inspiration Piece!




I find when I am tackling the decorating of a new space, I always start with an inspiration piece . . . maybe a piece of artwork or a pillow. It is amazing how a room can come together from one inspirational item. In our beach house renovation, two pillows inspired my color choices for our living room area. When I found this lovely taupe linen Sanibel pillow by Tourmaline Home, I knew that accent pillow had the "feel" I was looking for in our space. The wall paint color was picked up from a throw pillow we used to carry at By the Sea . . . a perfect tranquil aqua shade. These two pillows became our renovated living room and dining space colors. In our new master bedroom, I found a pair of curtains I loved before we even started renovating. The whole room . . . paint color, linens, and accessories, all came from this pair of curtains. A guest bedroom started with a tropical piece of artwork. Everyone probably has their own way of tackling decorating or redecorating, but for me, starting small with an inspiration piece or two is easy!
