“You always want to mess with perfection. You decide to convey an idea, then do something to throw it a little off.”
— Mario Nievera
belle maison is french for "beautiful home." as an interior designer, i started this blog to catalog my finds, hoping to inspire others by sharing fabulous resources, articles and photographs. enjoy and please visit again! xo - julie thigpen
Love that wallpaper in the fourth image its beautiful & the console table is simply lovely. some gorgeous images. fun pops of colour in the first image very striking
ReplyDeleteStriking spaces if you are into colors! Well done but these colors are too aggressive for my personal taste. When at home, i need relaxing soothing colors and materials
ReplyDeletejulie, i love this quote, i believe in throwing spaces off, any chance you get. that's when you get perfect in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteyou know what would be super awesome - if these images had some credits, links or background info. some readers may be interested in learning more about the original sources/designers/etc. just something to consider when posting inspirational images. check out this helpful flowchart: http://www.designsponge.com/2011/03/how-to-credit-just-check-the-poster.html
ReplyDeleteLove the quote!! Perfection is always the goal, but never the destination.

ReplyDeleteeloise, thanks for the tip on posting photo credits. i do post credits for every post on belle maison. today was an exception because several of these images are stored in my "blog files" on my computer, some of which i can't remember where they came from. i agree that it's extremely important to give proper credit to all images used :)
