February 2011: Be Inspired!

Finally!!! After so much pondering on and brain-storming, it's here! I am so excited to welcome you all to the first article of the Green Room. The Green Room shall be the venue for all things, thoughts, photos or whatever thingamabobs that inspire us to design. You can be the stay-at-home mom who loves to make everyday things beautiful, or you can be the professional interior designer whose ideas are always full to the brim. As long as you love and appreciate design, the Green Room is for you.

For this February, which coincidentally is also the month of Valentine's day, I shall be focusing on Inspiration. What is the inspiration behind a successful design? Our inspirations can come from a myriad of things that we see, feel, taste, smell and touch. It can be an experience that we remember, a memento from a memorable vacation, a vivid picture that catches our eye, or music that brings us back to fond memories. With this, I will be sharing a collection of photos and things that inspire me as a designer. On the interior design front, watch out for an article on a renovated condominium unit with a contemporary style. A popular local fashion magazine which recently came up with a new look is also in line. And I'll be featuring more actual interior renovations and projects for the rest of the month.

It's very timely that it is the month of Valentine's Day where love is in the air. For it is truly that when we are in love, we are inspired the most. What inspires you?
