Edit
Ever wonder what compels you to save one image over another? Why beautiful interiors are so eye-catching? What do we keep these images for? inspiration? motivation? Do we wish we could one day live in a home like that, wear those clothes? drive that car marry that man?? As I pulled these various images off of my harddrive I began to wonder why I was drawn to each and everyone of these.....I came up with this: inspiration for my home, motivation to succeed in my business. Be up on the latest trends....etc. What type of images do you have on your hard drive?? And what triggers you to save those over others?? I'm curious.....

ReplyDeleteHugs Felicity
These days mostly inspiration for my home.
ReplyDeleteI love these. Maybe I've been shaving my legs everyday, waiting for David Beckham to call!
ReplyDeleteAmy Chin just makes me smile, smile, smile!
ReplyDeletei love that couch! what a great find. i have been organizing all my saved links in ma.gnolia.com. it helps!
ReplyDeleteLovely images! My reasons for bookmarking things are the exact same. Interiors, exteriors, quotes I'd like to live my life by, all inspire me to keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteI have hundreds of interior pictures! I really need to update my flickr account but always forget. I also save weird and quirky accessories for the home. You have some very fun photos Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteHey, I spotted a postsecret secret in there! Cool photos!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever hear David Beckham speak before Elocution lessons?
ReplyDeleteI love this mini-purge of images -- i especially like the leg shaving image and that adorable forever21 shirt!
ReplyDelete- Jessie -
PS. congrats on the NYC booth! :)
Loved seeing your collection of saved images Jen -- have some of the same ones saved as well, such as the desk from Marie Claire Maison, and of course, Liza Giles' place. And it's not hard to guess why you saved the Armani ad :)
ReplyDeleteI love rooms with great style, like the ones you posted. A modern take on early 1960s design. I especially love the white walls and furniture, with splashes of bright color.
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes I think it only works in magazines...
Hi, my name is Aline, and I'm from Brazil! andd i love the "dream sofa", and i want!!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely do the same, and most of the time I will paste them up in my sketchbooks. What usually compels me to capture a certain image over the other would definitely be that of bright colors and mixed patterns/textiles. I like to keep images that carries some sort of element that I can use in our apt. or future home...currently I have lots of small space pics!:) PS: that Living Etc. Room is in my image collection too..it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteFELICITY:
ReplyDeletethanks for naming that image for me, i appreciate it. I totally forgot where i got it....but i ADORE it.
KARINA: Good answer, i have a feeling its also inspiration for most people. Including myself.
SARA JANE:
LOL I am totally with you on that, in fact I have been waiting for him to call too. As well as a few others that SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS.....!!
COURTNEY:
Amy Chin is so talented, luv her work.
COVEITER & ALINE:
YES! That couch is the one I hope to have when I replace my big chocolate brown one from ZGALLERIE...one of these days!!
IF+D:
Great, thanks!
JESSIE:
Hi there, how are you?
That Forever 21 shirt i actually bought one so similar because of that photo. I guess that is another reason i save pics, to remind me to purchase that item...or one like it. Thx about the booth!!
SG:
Thanks! I wish i had the time to add more images to my FLICKr but I'd never get this blog updated if i did ha!
THIS IS GLAM:
OOOh the David Beckham shot, yes we know why i saved it haha, thanks.
ANGELA:
I love white rooms as well with splashes of color. I think it works great in anyone's home. If you have the right accessories it will come together pretty well.
HI ERICKA,
Thats a good idea...i think i also save certain images to try and decorate my home in a similar way etc..its all mostly for inspiration i guess.
p.s ERICKA: bright colors in photographs of interiors are my favorites....i love them!
ReplyDeleteI keep a random selection of images for various reasons: some simply evoke a positive emotion (happiness, calm, inpsiration, excitement, love), some are kept because of the quality of workmanship within the image (objects I'd like to make or add to my own environment) and some purely for aesthetics (colors, shapes, composition) like all the beautiful pics in Real Living mag.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I we'll move togeter in a few months and I love your pictures. They inspire me a lot!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to be a rich woman so that I can afford all these pretty things. och...
It's good that I am able to sew, as I mentioned, that's a great inspiriation!
Thanx!!
My fave pic is definitely the Marie Claire Maison! That great balance between chaos and calm. LOVE IT! And the Amy Chin shot too...so colorful!
ReplyDeleteAlright...and Mr. Beckham ain't hurtin' the eyes either. Bastard! ;)
OMG! The photo collage above the work station in the Marie Claire mag...it is just to die for! Thanks for the punch of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI save pictures to later use in a blog post, inspiration for my home, inspiration for my job(designer) for color combos-patterns etc, but mostly for the pure pleasure of looking at them. The ones on my hard drive are quite similar to yours :)
ReplyDeleteLove your collection of saved photos - perfect idea to throw them all out there at once!
