Having a Vision...

My Designer Dad column in Family Circle this month talks about creating a space for yourself, but also creating areas that inspire you.


I'm all about putting things up that motivate, inspire, empower...Visuals that remind you of what you are planning, thinking about, focused in on, aspiring to, etc.

Whether you are planning out your dream room or your entire home, a renovation, a creative art project or simple goals for yourself or your family...Create a visual area - a vision board - to gather those things in one place...

It can be on a wall in your home office, in your closet, on the backside of your vanity cabinet, a bulletin board in the mud room...Whatever and wherever works for you.  Just start tacking up and collaging images and text that inspire you. I use that blue gum-like,tack-able stuff to hang things up without damaging the wall.

It doesn't have to be fancy or perfect. I created this board for you to illustrate what I'm talking about.  You see how these images are collaged on a wall casually with words that motivate - add family photos, places you want to visit, styles you love, looks you are drawn to...Gather and inspire yourself...

The point?  To have things around that catch your eye and remind you of what you are working towards or, sometimes, it just simply reminding you of your dreams -- the life's purpose you are trying to pursue and achieve.
