Inspiration

Posted in Made at Home. on Friday, February 5th, 2010 by annie

Here’s a little peek into the design process & inspiration for annieathome: a sweet letter from my grandmother; tied with leftover ribbon from our wedding invitations; a page of Real Simple Thoughts on Home, torn and tucked away since 2004; an antique postcard from my collection – signed by some Hugo & Florence on their European excursion fifty-some years ago; hand drawn elements and pressed flowers. {The project was homework for the BYW class I ‘m taking this winter. So much fun!}

    Annie this board is so warm and inviting…and made with such care. I love the inclusion of the old letter from your grandma (speaks volumes about your values). I have the scrap-booking paper that the birdhouses are from -I have been saving it to use for a color series! Gorgeous work!

    @ Becky – thanks! Hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

    @Leslie – Thanks so much! I cut out a little birdhouse from that paper for my daughter’s doll house. This was a scrap I had left over. Such fun!

    Oh HOME definitely jumps out of this collection. And I love how you did collection of photos of the collage after, for a kind of close up view. That was great.

    Could you, your blog, and your mood board be any more warm and inviting? Answer = no. :)

    This is one of the best boards that I have seen. I think because you have used real elements that have a meaning, you have created something very special. Lovely!
