Monday Motivation and Inspiration

Don't design for everyone.  It's impossible.  All you end up doing is designing something that makes everyone unhappy.

"Decorating is the art of arranging beautiful things comfortably."

From My Inspiration Board

Claude Monet (1840-1926)

This quote is one I took from my "inspiration board" this morning. It's just a big bulletin board in my office at home on which I tack up various quotes, pictures, fabric samples, etc. Although I would never be so presumptuous as to place myself in a category with the great Monet, I certainly think that I totally understand what he is saying here: color in a designer or artist's world is an absolute obsession. It brings you joy when the right one comes to you, and it brings you torment when you are searching for just the one that is perfect and it seems to elude you. Seeing color this way is both a blessing and a curse. But I am sure that Monet was thankful for this glorious gift of loving color and so am I.
