What Person, Place or Thing Inspired Your Home Design?
Was it a movie? A vacation view? A colorful scarf? Tell us what sparked your vision and how you brought it to life
Inspiration strikes in unexpected places. Especially in the early phases of a home project, the things that get our creative juices flowing aren’t always fabric swatches or appliance catalogs. A painting can influence a color palette. A favorite TV character or musician might determine a style. A flea market find could drive the finishes’ overall feel.

In the Comments, share your stories and photos highlighting the specific elements that shaped your project and explain how you as the homeowner or design pro channeled that person, place or thing’s essence into a meaningful space.
