I love this quote! It's a great reminder to "think big" when designing a space and to actually follow through with your vision. So many of us have amazing ideas in our heads, but when we try and execute them, we get scared and end up playing it safe. I say, just go for it and see what happens! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Have a great Monday :) xoxo - Julie
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to be brave - not to mention thrifty when you're venturing into the great design unknown. I've ruined a few things before I got it right. Is it that way for real designers too?

Great quote! I think it's also hard when you have to compromise (i.e. the hubs style vs. mine and budget is a huge factor!) Great tip though - and perfect as I'm in the midst of decorating.

ReplyDeleteIt is a good saying. I love the first room. The wallpaper and the chandelier are stunning. The purple chairs just make it all the more luxurious!
