In Praise of the Inspiration Board

I decided to embark upon an early Spring cleaning project in my office the other day. My vision for total office perfection started off with a plan to sort through five large portable drawers that have been devoted to holding the inspiring bits and pieces, magazine tears, etc. that I've collected over the past 10 years. I didn't get very far (it took me an entire afternoon just to get through one drawer), but what unintentionally emerged amongst the few items that I chose to keep from that first drawer, was this fun new color palette. I love it when things like that happen.

I cleared everything off the inspiration cork board I have propped against my wall near my desk, but then ended up just quickly taping most everything up onto the wall with some Japanese masking tape (gotta love that stuff). I plan to add more snippets over time...and/or take it down once I tire of the colors/theme.

Unfortunately since I've had most of these magazine tears for so long, I don't know their sources anymore. If you happen to know any photographer info, I'd love for you to share. The only image that I have definitive credit for is the grey tone polka dot drawing by Julie Morstad from her book Milk Teeth.

Do you have an inspiration "board" in your home or office, or a virtual inspiration board on Pinterest or another site? If so, I'd love for you to share a link to it in the comment section below so we can all be inspired! xo Ez
