Where do you find inspiration? I find it all around me. Take a moment the next time you go to the mall, the park, or a museum. Sometimes the inspiration isn't on display, but all around it.
Here is a recent trip I took to get inspired. It's at the J.Paul Getty Mansion in Malibu. I am not the best photographer and do plan on upgrading my camera in the very near future..so don't pay attention to the quality of the image so much as the content.
I love taking these trips! Some are planned while others are spontaneous moments I catch with my camera! Here is another outing I had at a local mall. I love window shopping but it's never for clothes but rather the crazy, amazing displays retailers use to market there product.
Oh! I would love to get my hands on a plethora of vintage light bulbs!!
The message today is to keep your eyes open..you might see something that you love! Snap a picture of it and bring it to me and challenge me to do something with it to make a reality design made especially for you!
As a favor, each guest was given a new pair of slippers to wear and take home! This also was a great way to protect the floors from dirty shoes! Notice the coordinating containers the shoes are put in? Presentation is everything!
A miniature cupcake was used as our placecard holders with a added punch of luxury with a fushia orchid. Notice how the napkin is folded to add color between the salad plate and the luncheon plate? These modern white plates cost just as much as the traditional round china one can rent..so why not do it up a bit different? 
A modern tablescape was created using a river of crushed colored glass & sleek sexy white vases. Every other vase was full of orchids and while the others had either a single Dahlia bloom or the simplisity of beautiful green tropical leaves.
