After 15 years as an Interior Designer, Kendall decided to try her hand and painting. I for one, am thrilled she did! Her art has been well received and she has sold many pieces. I personally adore her dress series and am thinking I will totally need to get one for my new place, (since it's going to be a girl's only zone - with the exception of my son's room, of course). The real challenge is going to be narrowing it down to just one.<br /><br />Kendall is a sweetheart, we became instant friends. If you are looking for one of a kind art, then you need to look no further.... she's your girl! &nbsp;Welcome, Kendall, I'm thrilled to have you.<br /><br />If you haven't entered my <a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2012/01/giveaway-sponsor-introduction-blue-room.html">&nbsp;Blue Room Gems</a> giveaway, today is the last chance... winner will be announced tomorrow.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-883820257298306720?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-74202039509061805042012-01-31T06:00:00.001-05:002012-01-31T06:00:02.420-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zJIkehMaTV4/TySWBRmpsaI/AAAAAAAASmU/oFxUaXMtMM4/s1600/Online+Edits16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zJIkehMaTV4/TySWBRmpsaI/AAAAAAAASmU/oFxUaXMtMM4/s1600/Online+Edits16.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LfNNd88H5Sg/TyakWmnrmjI/AAAAAAAASpo/LeiR9n0aqd8/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LfNNd88H5Sg/TyakWmnrmjI/AAAAAAAASpo/LeiR9n0aqd8/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aYMUjqkl7zI/TySWL_7JflI/AAAAAAAASmc/Yzjet2-gLD8/s1600/tumblr_lxlmxzluQV1qb6f1po1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aYMUjqkl7zI/TySWL_7JflI/AAAAAAAASmc/Yzjet2-gLD8/s1600/tumblr_lxlmxzluQV1qb6f1po1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oopO9M-EpYE/TyakbCn7tNI/AAAAAAAASpw/IPzVkOm0sxY/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oopO9M-EpYE/TyakbCn7tNI/AAAAAAAASpw/IPzVkOm0sxY/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-5.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uN35FhD_TyM/TySWOLBa0dI/AAAAAAAASmk/nAyCRbabcr8/s1600/tumblr_lxe0xxuAEy1r66uhso1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uN35FhD_TyM/TySWOLBa0dI/AAAAAAAASmk/nAyCRbabcr8/s1600/tumblr_lxe0xxuAEy1r66uhso1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hn2Y_VVKqb8/TyakhhFNd7I/AAAAAAAASp4/j5fMQ5a5_4k/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hn2Y_VVKqb8/TyakhhFNd7I/AAAAAAAASp4/j5fMQ5a5_4k/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-6.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ulVyteoK25w/Tyaf-PXOtSI/AAAAAAAASpQ/cyODnuD3qEs/s1600/5703625142_5b643b159e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ulVyteoK25w/Tyaf-PXOtSI/AAAAAAAASpQ/cyODnuD3qEs/s1600/5703625142_5b643b159e.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-615n2pniDLc/TyakmeXFzbI/AAAAAAAASqA/0k0nkZMQeO4/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-615n2pniDLc/TyakmeXFzbI/AAAAAAAASqA/0k0nkZMQeO4/s1600/Picnik%252520collage-7.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bAAoDnLD4zo/TyagDcWMxBI/AAAAAAAASpY/uF4g182E9R0/s1600/5703056241_d3c918cdfe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bAAoDnLD4zo/TyagDcWMxBI/AAAAAAAASpY/uF4g182E9R0/s1600/5703056241_d3c918cdfe.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://inspired-design.tumblr.com/">1-3</a>,<a href="http://littlebrownpen.blogspot.com/"> 4+5</a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Who doesn't want a carefree life? No worries or responsibilities, free to do as you please... sound perfect? Maybe not. Often our responsibilities and the things we worry about are the things we love and mean the most to us. We worry about our protecting our kids, ailing parents, and friends that are hurting. If a carefree life means a life void of people we love and meaningful relationships, I'll choose the alternative with all of it's ups and downs.<br /><br />With that said.... sometimes we just need to put everything on hold and give ourselves permission to be carefree at least for a little while. The bills can wait, the phone can be unplugged, and the person who is trying their hardest to upset you can be ignored. There is always a road trip awaiting, a movie to get lost in, music to be cranked and a laugh to be found. What is your best tip to unplug and be carefree if only for a little while?&nbsp;</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Giveaway: Enter to win a gift card from <a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2012/01/giveaway-sponsor-introduction-blue-room.html">Blue Room Gems</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Visit<a href="http://4inspireddesigns.com/" style="color: #7f7f7f; text-decoration: none;">&nbsp;inspired designs.</a>&nbsp;or email me to find out about having a custom blog designed.<br /><a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/p/sponsor.html" style="color: #7f7f7f; text-decoration: none;">Advertising space</a>&nbsp;still available for February.

Did you have a nice weekend? I spent the weekend strolling around Paris, (you didn't actually buy that, did you)?! Well, I did stroll around in my daydreams. Truth be told, I spent the majority of my weekend doing blog designs. Not super glamorous, but I enjoy it and it's fun to watch a client's vision come together and I'm happy to help them get there. I just finished <a href="http://kariopenshawinteriors.blogspot.com/">Kari's web design</a>. She is a newbie to blogging but has been in the interior design business for twelve years.

Our dachshund is ailing. I wasn't crazy about the idea of getting a dog. I had an energetic two year old and five year old. I had a husband that traveled. Did I really need to add house breaking a puppy to the mix? &nbsp;I lost the battle. My son, then five, sat int he backseat with the tiniest little dachshund on his lap, a smile beaming from ear to ear. It was then that I knew I would put up with any amount of stress this new four legged mutt was sure to bring.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Along the way he won me over. He was by my side when I was sick. He was tolerant when my daughter was four and she thought he'd like hiding in the kitchen cabinets. He was mischievous, clever, and amusing. He could be stubborn and would stop at nothing to get a homemade meatball.... but he's mine and I love him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">His Cushing's Disease is taking him slowly. It's awful to watch. The re-occuring mouth infection that will not subside, seeing him struggle to get up the steps to the front door, the gray fur that now replaces the once shiny red coat, and the shame across his face when he has no control over urinating in the house because of his illness.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So how is one supposed to arrive at the decision to put a faithful pet to rest? &nbsp;Is urinary incontinence a good enough reason? What about financial reasons? Time spent at the vet, only to have the medicine not work. I know lots of people face this difficult decision everyday. No one wants to feel like they are failing a sick friend.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Have you ever had to put a pet to rest?

What is it that is so much fun about a girl's night out or a luncheon with friends? Strong female ties between women can rival family ties, or even marital ties. Female friendships are so crucial to our well-being. Close friends listen to our deepest fears, don't judge, can giggle with us over silly trivial things, support us through sickness, broken relationships, and celebrate our achievements as if they were their own. Who is your closest female friend? How long have you known each other and how did you meet? Have you told her how much her friendship means to you lately?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Speaking of great friends...

Some people are naturally positive. For everyone else, positivity is a choice. What happens when we begin to wean out any negativity from our lives? We attract only positive results and positive people. It's amazing how negative people all huddle together to commiserate. Positive people are too busy making things happen and enjoying their lives. What is your best tip for staying positive?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Giveaway: Enter to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2012/01/giveaway-splenderosa-jewelry.html" style="color: #7f7f7f; text-decoration: none;">win a necklace from Splenderosa Jewelry</a>!</span><br />Visit<a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/" style="color: #7f7f7f; text-decoration: none;">&nbsp;inspired designs.</a>&nbsp;or email me to find out about having a custom blog designed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-7183928578992621211?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com44tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-30563965661576560662012-01-24T06:00:00.000-05:002012-01-24T06:00:06.582-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N1BbyJSb7Jk/Tx1eQtUbNgI/AAAAAAAASc8/tEq-OYRuSoo/s1600/tumblr_lxkw4o23i51r05x9ro1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N1BbyJSb7Jk/Tx1eQtUbNgI/AAAAAAAASc8/tEq-OYRuSoo/s1600/tumblr_lxkw4o23i51r05x9ro1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-35FdcUqrvwQ/Tx1dkBlDJdI/AAAAAAAAScY/FRKx9Mfd3xg/s1600/tumblr_ly8etgxSBi1r4h5f7o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-35FdcUqrvwQ/Tx1dkBlDJdI/AAAAAAAAScY/FRKx9Mfd3xg/s1600/tumblr_ly8etgxSBi1r4h5f7o1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I_KatRuhrgo/Tx1duhI35oI/AAAAAAAAScw/iQTM_JNfQQs/s1600/tumblr_ly6a37cIQJ1r4h5f7o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I_KatRuhrgo/Tx1duhI35oI/AAAAAAAAScw/iQTM_JNfQQs/s1600/tumblr_ly6a37cIQJ1r4h5f7o1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://inspired-design.tumblr.com/">via</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In order to keep the winter doldrums at bay, I've decided to create a list of things to do to make the upcoming month of February a fun one.

A few weekends ago my daughter and I took a spur of the moment day trip to Maine. It was dusk as we drove along the winding road dotted with beautiful ocean view homes. The homes glowed from within and made for a stunning contrast against the darkening sky. We stopped at the lighthouse and braved the January winds to mark the moment with a photo.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We stood in front of the lighthouse, wind whipping hair into our eyes, arms around one another, smiles plastered across our faces, as we waited for the automatic timer to take our photo. In those few seconds while we waited for the flash to go off, I felt an awareness of being fully alive, and completely in the moment. I was in an amazing spot with my favorite girl.

Women are now dominating the workplace and making as much and often more than their male counterparts. Working Moms expect their spouse to step up when it comes to the pitching in with the house and kids.&nbsp;What about stay-at-home Moms? Are they frowned upon? Aren't we supposed to be able to do it all now a days?<br /><br />There seems to be a silent epidemic of women in unfulfilled marriages looking the other way. I bet we all know someone who knows her husband cheats but she chooses to look the other way, because in her mind, it's easier. What happens to these women? &nbsp;I think their conscious&nbsp;choice to look the other way will eventually make it difficult for them to look in the mirror. You can't settle for mistreatment and not die a little inside.<br /><br />Are women everywhere trading their self-esteem for the big house and cushy lifestyle? What do you think?<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Giveaway: Enter to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2012/01/giveaway-splenderosa-jewelry.html" style="color: #7f7f7f; text-decoration: none;">win a necklace from Splenderosa Jewelry</a>!</span><br />Visit<a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/"> inspired designs.</a> or email me to find out about having a custom blog designed.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">*opinions are the personal opinions of the blog author and any coincidence to any real-life person is strictly coincidental.</span><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-7602644722050468000?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-1202736411657246192012-01-20T06:00:00.000-05:002012-01-20T06:00:09.520-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V1LoacNJzPI/TxeJEr-zHfI/AAAAAAAASXs/0SAv9XQ2FxY/s1600/tumblr_lxuxxpqKon1qii5iio1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V1LoacNJzPI/TxeJEr-zHfI/AAAAAAAASXs/0SAv9XQ2FxY/s1600/tumblr_lxuxxpqKon1qii5iio1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br />1. You should never have to compromise yourself for a relationship. When someone truly loves you, they will respect you and any differences. You should be able to thrive when you are with them.<br /><br />2. When it comes to friends with benefits the only one benefiting is the man. Females might pretend they are o.k. with casual sex but woman are much more apt to feel empty when there is no emotional connection.<br /><br />3. You can't be friends with someone who is jealous of you. It just doesn't work. They will never have your best interests at heart.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--W8E-o5Gb8g/TxeJNjkrOzI/AAAAAAAASX0/HAkC0kSg1Ic/s1600/tumblr_ls5rbmqy4x1qfgl9co1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--W8E-o5Gb8g/TxeJNjkrOzI/AAAAAAAASX0/HAkC0kSg1Ic/s1600/tumblr_ls5rbmqy4x1qfgl9co1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br />4. When it comes to choosing a career, do what makes you happy. Sure, you can chase after the six figure income, but all the money in the world will not buy happiness. If you follow your passion the money will come.<br /><br />5. You only have one brother, remain close. Someday your parents won't be around and you will need each other.<br /><br />6. Find someone who can make laugh. The best relationships are based on friendship. Without friendship as a base you have nothing.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TFHMINuMuRo/TxeJVbs7a5I/AAAAAAAASX8/7F7LAEo5uGs/s1600/tumblr_lxn3thu3G61qzhvr4o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TFHMINuMuRo/TxeJVbs7a5I/AAAAAAAASX8/7F7LAEo5uGs/s1600/tumblr_lxn3thu3G61qzhvr4o1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br />7. Clean your room, you don't want to end up on an episode of Hoarders.<br /><br />8. If you are ever out with your friends and make the mistake of drinking or they have been drinking don't get in the car. Call me anytime even if it's the wee hours of the night.<br /><br />9. There is nothing you could ever possibly do that would ever make me stop loving you.<br /><br /><br />Do you have a daughter? A niece perhaps? What is the best advice you have given her? I'd love to hear it!<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Giveaway: Enter to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2012/01/giveaway-splenderosa-jewelry.html" style="color: #7f7f7f; text-decoration: none;">win a necklace from Splenderosa Jewelry</a>!</span><br />Visit <a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/">inspired designs.</a> or email me to find out about having a custom blog designed.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-120273641165724619?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-40681882631115961882012-01-19T06:00:00.000-05:002012-01-19T06:00:08.860-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tlxqt_BA43o/TxCNDGDqxGI/AAAAAAAASPE/NUQdTHPHQkc/s1600/tumblr_lxi7lijWOr1qaitjqo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tlxqt_BA43o/TxCNDGDqxGI/AAAAAAAASPE/NUQdTHPHQkc/s1600/tumblr_lxi7lijWOr1qaitjqo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tkJxbhtz19o/TxCNFDFSZxI/AAAAAAAASPM/GH5vE1o2CpU/s1600/tumblr_lw0d1ecpmD1r63swxo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tkJxbhtz19o/TxCNFDFSZxI/AAAAAAAASPM/GH5vE1o2CpU/s1600/tumblr_lw0d1ecpmD1r63swxo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cABU4vmDrXY/TxCNGiw1qnI/AAAAAAAASPU/FKg_c6MMkc4/s1600/tumblr_lxcy4n3omz1qk4o6fo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cABU4vmDrXY/TxCNGiw1qnI/AAAAAAAASPU/FKg_c6MMkc4/s1600/tumblr_lxcy4n3omz1qk4o6fo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1vuvq61RB84/TxXxDd_IlZI/AAAAAAAASVY/9N10v4VeyQg/s1600/tumblr_lidhibAk4J1qgfx5bo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1vuvq61RB84/TxXxDd_IlZI/AAAAAAAASVY/9N10v4VeyQg/s1600/tumblr_lidhibAk4J1qgfx5bo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sJgdB0O8Gh8/Txb3RpnLDTI/AAAAAAAASVo/og9YcvzSVmA/s1600/tumblr_loj325TK6m1qbjhlno1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sJgdB0O8Gh8/Txb3RpnLDTI/AAAAAAAASVo/og9YcvzSVmA/s1600/tumblr_loj325TK6m1qbjhlno1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IdYqerzbwcg/Txc_gOUvrgI/AAAAAAAASWA/320-SJvIvJA/s1600/tumblr_lwplueBEcA1r18055o1_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IdYqerzbwcg/Txc_gOUvrgI/AAAAAAAASWA/320-SJvIvJA/s1600/tumblr_lwplueBEcA1r18055o1_400.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9j0ilx9FNE/Txc_i0-WmPI/AAAAAAAASWI/CFL_6lWgqrI/s1600/tumblr_lxz62atoT01qzvsqto1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9j0ilx9FNE/Txc_i0-WmPI/AAAAAAAASWI/CFL_6lWgqrI/s1600/tumblr_lxz62atoT01qzvsqto1_500.jpg" /></a></div><a href="http://inspired-design.tumblr.com/">via</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They're out there.... the do-gooders.

She survived the bullet wound, however her daughter, who took a bullet as well, did not survive. Her young life came to a screeching halt. Heartbreaking and unfathomable for her Mom to have to face life without her daughter.

It has been proven that the happiest people are single females and men who are married. Very interesting.... Don't you think? The study found that men living on their own are less likely to appreciate the freedom and lack of compromise it brings. On the other hand, most single woman love being their own boss, having their independence to do as they choose and being able to indulge their whims like having a super girly bedroom.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I think this explains why so many newly single men are in a rush to begin dating and dominate the online dating sites. I am sure Match.com and the other dating sites have worked for many, and I certainly don't fault anyone who uses them. Will I begin online dating any time soon given my soon to be newly single status? The answer is a resounding no. Who are these people behind the computers anyways? Are they honest? Surely, there are decent men sincerely looking for someone to share their life with, but there are also a lot of sharks out there. You know the ones.... the raving alcoholic who claims to be a "social drinker." The married man who claims he is divorced. A plethora of middle aged men acting like twenty-somethings, going to tanning and riding mechanical bulls awaits. Ugh. I'll take my independence, girly bedroom and freedom to come and go as I please any day of the week.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Have you ever tried online dating?

Romance is, and always will be, a big part of who I am.

I am a romantic at heart. I can't see enough chick flicks, display enough flowers, light enough scented candles or listen to too many love songs. This is what I've learned: We grow up thinking we can't have romance in our lives unless Prince Charming comes trotting along on his white horse. I've realized that you don't need a prince, or necessarily even a partner, to have romance in your day-to-day life. You can woo yourself, and in doing so you are loving yourself and confirming you are worthy of living the best-quality life you can create. When I see a beautiful bunch of flowers at the market, I don't stand around waiting for someone to buy them for me, I treat myself. Once home and adorning a beautiful vase, the flowers remind me that simple things make my world a little more special. A fragrant bubble bath in the warm glow of candlelight, a pretty red pout, a delicate pastry on a beautiful dessert plate are all indulgences that add romance to the mundane of every day living.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Connecting to my romantic side is really all about celebrating femininity. It goes much deeper than being wined and dined. Romance to me is about celebrating the beauty in being a woman; reveling in the delicate, soft, pretty and gentle side of life. Inspired Design has become a wonderful expression of the creative romantic inside me. One of my most romantic moments was when my blog was referred to as a "visual romance novel." I knew then that by pouring my heart and soul into my blog I had been given the privilege of bringing a bit of romance into the lives of others.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*I'd like to extend a big thank you to Jacqueline deMontravel, Editor of <a href="http://www.romantichomes.com/">Romantic Homes</a>.

You know the ones. They can wear anything and look flawless. You swear they never have a bad day. You imagine their homes must be fabulously flawless and perfectly organized. The funny thing is, that same girl is probably admiring some other stylish lady and thinking the very same things about her and wondering how she does it.<br /><br />Truth be told, we all have our bad hair days and our junk draws. It's reality. We are all too hard on ourselves. Listen to your female friends. You are bound to hear:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"I wish my hair was thicker," (I'm pleading guilty on this one).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">"I need to lose weight."&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">"OMG, am I shrinking already?!" (guilty)</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;"Look at my crows feet."&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">"I hate my frizzy hair."</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Should I get a lip injection?"</div><div style="text-align: center;">"I think I need botox."</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Ugh... I got a zit."</div><div style="text-align: center;">And of course the ever famous.... "Does this dress make my butt look big?"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While we are busy picking ourselves apart, men across the country are sitting around guzzling a brew or two and thinking they are the hottest thing on the planet. Don't even glance in their direction by accident because, oh yeah, they are going to think you want them. Beer belly? He thinks he's hot. Bald spot? Doesn't phase him. Nose hair? He's still a superhero. Seriously, maybe the male species is onto something.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's all say something nice about ourselves today. Don't be shy. Finish this sentence... "I think I'm fabulously chic because........ ." &nbsp;I'll even start. "I think I'm fabulously chic because I've made up my mind that I can be." Now it's your turn.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Visit <a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/">inspired designs.</a> or email me to find out about having a custom blog design created.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-8740575395372718598?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-46415571819472213612012-01-05T06:00:00.001-05:002012-01-05T06:00:09.268-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l29WWKRDqEI/TwTzYCKd3cI/AAAAAAAAR6E/QXRKBIlU6WQ/s1600/tumblr_lx6b6yLd0h1r71b95o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l29WWKRDqEI/TwTzYCKd3cI/AAAAAAAAR6E/QXRKBIlU6WQ/s1600/tumblr_lx6b6yLd0h1r71b95o1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">2011 was a tough year. It started off difficult and remained that way right up until the December 31st. I shared some of it with you. As much as Inspired aims to be a daily escape for my readers, I think readers appreciate more than just the fluff. I have found that people relate to realness. So, if my struggles can help anyone else than I am more than happy to open up.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As bad as things may seem, there is always something positive thrown our way. What helps me is to try to focus on the positive. I recently read something about a man that struck a cord. Instead of saying, "I have to go to the grocery store," or "I have to take my son to basketball practice," he says, "I get to go the grocery store," etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">How very lucky that we "get" to do these things no matter how mundane. Lucky that we are healthy enough. That we have another day here. Fortunate enough to be able to hug our kids, tell Mom we love her or make a friend laugh.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few small things that brightened some tough days and gave me reason to pause and give thanks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My neighbor had invited me for coffee and she had her Mom visiting who is from Mexico. My neighbor spent much time translating for the two of us. Her Mom was such a warm person and honestly, even though there was not a lot of language understood I walked away feeling like I knew her heart. I sensed her warmness, felt her kindness and genuinely felt like we had connected. Sometimes words just aren't necessary.

Did you paint the town? I had to go out yesterday for a bit and the roads were eerily quiet. I'm thinking there were a lot of tired people recovering from late night celebrations. My New Years celebrations were quiet and consisted of laughs with friends and Chinese take out. My fortune cookie said, "Change is not only inevitable. Change is part of life." How very true.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On some level, we all wear masks. What happens when we decide to peel our masks away and live an authentic life true to who we are? I can tell you what happens... people don't like it. Why am I an expert? I took my mask off in 2011. I decided that I was tired of living a life where I was unfulfilled and decided it was time to take my life back.<br /><br />People are threatened by change. Everyone wants to tell you who you are supposed to be and how you should be living your life. I'm not sure if it's because any changes we make might affect them or if it calls to their attention that they may have to face the fact that they don't have the courage or strength to take off their own mask or make necessary changes.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Being true to yourself is liberating but be warned there can be a price that comes with any freedom. &nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But as history proves time and again freedom is always a battle worth fighting for! So with that said, don't be pigeon-holed into a role that doesn't suit you. Unhappy? Change it. Fearful? Do it anyways. Feeling you don't know who you are anymore? Take some time to figure it out so that you can become the type of person you would like to meet. Most importantly be true to yourself... you deserve it. xoxo<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Giveaway: Enter to win a <a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2011/12/giveaway-kate-spade-bangle-kick-off-new.html">Kate Spade Idiom Bangle</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Visit <a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/">inspired designs. </a>or email me to inquire about a custom blog design.<br /><br /><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-868832570267583018?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-19200357576208968512012-01-01T09:28:00.000-05:002012-01-01T09:28:06.758-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fxn_k6FWth4/TwBgVH-KIjI/AAAAAAAARvw/2cLTzk0fpu8/s1600/tumblr_lv6r1cqyT01r2uh4go1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fxn_k6FWth4/TwBgVH-KIjI/AAAAAAAARvw/2cLTzk0fpu8/s1600/tumblr_lv6r1cqyT01r2uh4go1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H9uaCxHPpb8/TwBg9yw0zrI/AAAAAAAARwM/O46PPF66JOs/s1600/tumblr_lwrpfdWKz91r5fh4do1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H9uaCxHPpb8/TwBg9yw0zrI/AAAAAAAARwM/O46PPF66JOs/s1600/tumblr_lwrpfdWKz91r5fh4do1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://inspired-design.tumblr.com/">via</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, friends!

Are you heading out on the town or do you prefer to entertain in the cozy confines of home?&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Giveaway: Enter to win a <a href="http://www.4inspireddesign.com/2011/12/giveaway-kate-spade-bangle-kick-off-new.html">Kate Spade Idiom Bangle</a>!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Visit <a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/">inspired designs.</a> or email me to find out more about having a custom blog design created.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-8518479101671883816?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-42776023879390341802011-12-24T06:00:00.000-05:002011-12-24T06:00:06.755-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TR4_PcayMDE/TvUPr1CeKJI/AAAAAAAARgw/E6JlCjvxDcU/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-12-23+at+5.59.46+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TR4_PcayMDE/TvUPr1CeKJI/AAAAAAAARgw/E6JlCjvxDcU/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-12-23+at+5.59.46+PM.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ia8pMy4kqDg/TvUPxPAUK8I/AAAAAAAARg4/jGlbYDq5oIw/s1600/Desktop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ia8pMy4kqDg/TvUPxPAUK8I/AAAAAAAARg4/jGlbYDq5oIw/s1600/Desktop.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j6goDSBQbi0/TvUQAEtYC7I/AAAAAAAARhM/u5aNo7b6_JQ/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-12-23+at+5.59.46+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j6goDSBQbi0/TvUQAEtYC7I/AAAAAAAARhM/u5aNo7b6_JQ/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-12-23+at+5.59.46+PM.png" /></a></div><br />Happy Holiday, Friends!

Thank you all for your continued support and friendship. I'm so excited to host a giveaway for one lucky reader to win a bangle of her own.

I love them. Between coats your hands are placed under a UV light for a minute or two which makes the polish adhere and get this... no chips! You couldn't chip them if you tried. The polish remains in tact for about 14 days at which time you'll want to remove because you will see nail growth by then. You can go to the salon for removal or do it your self by using 100% acetone polish. Very cool for those of us who actually clean, etc. and don't live a life of leisure.<br /><br />How about making a Christmas appropriate <a href="http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/dessert-table-diy-how-to-create-a-macaron-tower">macaroon tower</a> for your dessert table?

Well, as fate would have it, one of Santa's little helpers was in my front yard the other day just starting at me through the glass storm door. We locked eyes for a minute and I reasoned with myself that spotting him is a sign... 2012 is going to be my year. I think I may have to treat myself to a<a href="http://www.katespade.com/designer-jewelry/designer-bracelets/kate-spade-idiom-bangles-this-is-the-year/WBRU3858,default,pd.html?navid=xsell"> Kate Spade Idiom Bangle</a> as a reminder. It's engraved with cute little messages such as, "This is the year to... make sparks fly." Love that!<br /><br />Being the geek that I am I researched the symbolism behind a deer.

Can I just admit that I have not bought one gift yet? Seriously. Not one. Going through a divorce is quickly puts everything into perspective. You realize very quickly that material things really do not hold much value in the big scheme of things. You grow to appreciate your loved ones who have supported you even more than you thought humanly possible. The greatest gift is to wake up on Christmas morning with a sense of peace, a sound mind and people you love.

What would you pick up?<br /><br />Visit<a href="http://www.4inspireddesigns.com/"> inspired designs.</a> to find out about custom blog design packages.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-4693174891069419841?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-46398191840587376462011-12-09T06:00:00.000-05:002011-12-09T06:11:24.099-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lKI5HEJTy1U/Tt6LzsLKjAI/AAAAAAAARFA/md2KNHgEoVE/s1600/tumblr_lv8rvstUEA1r1nydzo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lKI5HEJTy1U/Tt6LzsLKjAI/AAAAAAAARFA/md2KNHgEoVE/s1600/tumblr_lv8rvstUEA1r1nydzo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yPcfim0hteQ/Tt6L29TotCI/AAAAAAAARFI/3WGkdrifah8/s1600/tumblr_lvs226rnFx1qbr8r3o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yPcfim0hteQ/Tt6L29TotCI/AAAAAAAARFI/3WGkdrifah8/s1600/tumblr_lvs226rnFx1qbr8r3o1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MpRB1h4kLos/Tt6L5CI3SfI/AAAAAAAARFQ/MeWod0A8RVo/s1600/tumblr_ltq4sdzz1t1r1twyro1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MpRB1h4kLos/Tt6L5CI3SfI/AAAAAAAARFQ/MeWod0A8RVo/s1600/tumblr_ltq4sdzz1t1r1twyro1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dZcGIblTJSc/Tt6L8DgB_XI/AAAAAAAARFY/Imq1tjo3KkM/s1600/tumblr_lcxej5jZo31qfooz7o1_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dZcGIblTJSc/Tt6L8DgB_XI/AAAAAAAARFY/Imq1tjo3KkM/s1600/tumblr_lcxej5jZo31qfooz7o1_400.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ufHXeLW6IwM/Tt6MAI1MsnI/AAAAAAAARFg/6M1bTmX3xKw/s1600/tumblr_lvdt0h0Obd1r5jkiqo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ufHXeLW6IwM/Tt6MAI1MsnI/AAAAAAAARFg/6M1bTmX3xKw/s1600/tumblr_lvdt0h0Obd1r5jkiqo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HqDj7lUJaz8/Tt6MH_DTYgI/AAAAAAAARFw/mfvgW3SWUu0/s1600/tumblr_lvsvlgG2as1qbr8r3o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HqDj7lUJaz8/Tt6MH_DTYgI/AAAAAAAARFw/mfvgW3SWUu0/s1600/tumblr_lvsvlgG2as1qbr8r3o1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BV6Ff7p5ubI/Tt6MLBTmOHI/AAAAAAAARF4/Nqu779w1tOc/s1600/tumblr_ltsjznpWC81qgrpeho1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BV6Ff7p5ubI/Tt6MLBTmOHI/AAAAAAAARF4/Nqu779w1tOc/s1600/tumblr_ltsjznpWC81qgrpeho1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://inspired-design.tumblr.com/">via</a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The tree is up, the lights have been strung, holiday music is wafting through the house.

I am so thrilled to feature her and even more thrilled with her answers as to where she draws her inspiration. The second floor of Bergdorf's? Yes, please! What I admire most about her is that even with all of her success, she is grounded. She is so approachable and down to earth.... not to mention gorgeous!<br /><br />Talk about an inspiring woman. She succeeded in the fashion industry and then went on to become a nationally renowned top twenty interior designer. Have you heard about her new venture yet? She recently launched <a href="http://www.jamieherzlinger.com/jamie/home.html">JAMIE</a>, an online luxury interior design and lifestyle company that gives consumers access to cutting edge home design, high end fashion and hard-to-find upscale items. Using an online platform allows clients around the world access to trade-only merchandise. Can you say brilliant?<br /><br />I love her petite magazine called <a href="http://www.jamieherzlinger.com/jamie-loves.htm">JAMIE LOVES</a>&nbsp;which is filled with whatever she happens to be in love with at the moment. It's fun having such a stylish lady find so many great products for us all to swoon over. You can sign up online to receive latest issues.<br /><br />Thanks so much for participating, Jamie! It's been a thrill. xoxo<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-8961836168582539764?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-49610631317257675232011-12-04T06:00:00.001-05:002011-12-04T06:00:03.419-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xkK3eVDOPz0/TtV_NWk25ZI/AAAAAAAAQ-Q/jtxcuh9ZCwQ/s1600/tumblr_lqxcvvdXPS1qhscmyo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xkK3eVDOPz0/TtV_NWk25ZI/AAAAAAAAQ-Q/jtxcuh9ZCwQ/s1600/tumblr_lqxcvvdXPS1qhscmyo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QqgTXCnC25U/TtV_QV9DEeI/AAAAAAAAQ-Y/unFW_RuM65w/s1600/tumblr_lragp79aXO1qfrtudo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QqgTXCnC25U/TtV_QV9DEeI/AAAAAAAAQ-Y/unFW_RuM65w/s1600/tumblr_lragp79aXO1qfrtudo1_500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-56IiqCOPQ0E/TtV_SnWu6wI/AAAAAAAAQ-g/pwF6Pqwsr78/s1600/tumblr_lqg6nvcZxm1r26rwio1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-56IiqCOPQ0E/TtV_SnWu6wI/AAAAAAAAQ-g/pwF6Pqwsr78/s1600/tumblr_lqg6nvcZxm1r26rwio1_500.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://inspired-design.tumblr.com/">via</a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Chanel No. 5 is a timeless classic.

Today's inspirational gal is truly an inspiration to so many of us. I thought it would be fun to start incorporating some real life inspiring ladies to this fictional series. Right off the top of my head Janell Beals came to mind. This woman does it all... <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/">successful blogger</a>, loving mom, <a href="http://www.isabellaandmax.com/portfolio.php">design extraordinaire</a> and she's the creative genius and editor behind <a href="http://www.houseoffifty.com/">House Of Fifty</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.houseoffifty.com/">House Of Fifty</a> was born out of the idea that if she did not create opportunities for herself then no one else would. Near the arrival of her 50th birthday, Janell decided she would dive head first into a new venture instead of feeling as if her best days were behind her. I believe you are all be nodding your heads &nbsp;in agreement when I say I'm thrilled she did!<br /><br />Thanks, Janell, for inspiring us all and for being as sweet as you are talented and as warm as the interiors you create! xoxo<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-6486015998399175804?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-46339227901108972792011-11-29T06:00:00.001-05:002011-11-29T06:00:02.770-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;">Hi Inspired Design lovers...it's Christine here from </span><a href="http://www.bijouandboheme.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Bijou and Boheme</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222;"> and I'm so happy to be taking part in Debby's fabulous Fondness for Fall series.</span></span> <br /><div style="color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I'm all about autumn...totally my season.</span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">And the reasons why...well...</span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1.

A can of glittery paint and beautiful holiday ribbons are on my list of items to pick up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday I had some time to catch up with my college aged son. After getting him a much needed haircut and some new sneakers, we had a delightful lunch and he gave me a peek into his world and all of the endless possibilities it holds. When I had returned after a few hours my daughter, (a.k.a. Santa's little helper), had turned our home into a winter wonderland. The trees outside were lit with twinkling lights, the candles were glowing in all the windows, she even managed to decorate the banister with greens. I guess she wasn't joking when she said she would like to be an elf!&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have had so many little moments lately. An unexpected comment from a reader telling me how much my blog has touched their life, an unexpected care package from a friend because she knows divorce is an ugly thing to have to face, an humorous conversation with an elderly man I met while getting coffee. These are the things that make life worth living. What little moments have made your life enjoyable this past week?&nbsp;</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />Email me or visit<a href="http://4inspireddesigns.com/"> inspired designs.</a> to find out more about my custom blog designs.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6990711166629860495-8657557914134617506?l=www.4inspireddesign.com' alt='' /></div>Debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549681864821139909noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990711166629860495.post-54622180656158404972011-11-26T06:00:00.000-05:002011-11-26T06:00:01.871-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a42Oq_Sa3gc/Ts_V1G39kDI/AAAAAAAAQ3g/i4SPPh2KwIw/s1600/Picnik+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a42Oq_Sa3gc/Ts_V1G39kDI/AAAAAAAAQ3g/i4SPPh2KwIw/s1600/Picnik+collage.jpg" /></a></div><br />I am so happy to introduce you to Inspired's newest sponsor, <a href="http://decorrouge.com/">Décor Rouge</a>.

Even with the frenzy that an upcoming storm predicts there is also a buzz of excitement about it. That's where I am. Excited for what the future has is store. Unaffected by difficulties that the will surely come my way. Peaceful, because I trust I am part of a bigger plan and there are better things in store for me.

Did you have a good weekend? Mine was super busy between my daughter's sixteenth birthday bash, and my son visiting with friends from college. My daughter was itching to get to the mall to use her gift cards and get a pair of purple Hunter Wellies she has had her eye on forever. She knew I was a bit stressed and surprised me with a pair of earrings and an Anthropologie gift card she bought with her birthday money. There I was smack dab in the middle of the mall and I was so touched that my eyes flooded with tears. You know how it goes... the more you try to choke back the emotions the more they come out.
