Style Scouting: Vol. 183
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
Many years ago I used to buy every decorating magazine there was on a monthly basis. I no longer do this as the prices of the publications are no longer only a few dollars, many are around $15 now as is the spring issue of Traditional Home Magazine shown in the photo above.
I still like to find inspiration and browse through the magazines on the racks when I wait in the check-out line at the grocery store. When I enjoy this past-time, I always remember the advice of my friend, Karen who is like you and I – we like decorating, pretty things and being creative.
She told me that when she browses through the decorating and lifestyle magazines she will only buy it if at least 3 things caught her eye so much that she wanted to read more.
I do this now myself and haven’t bought a magazine in quite a while, but this week I did. I saw more than 3 articles that inspired me in Traditional Home, especially the home on the cover in the article entitled, The Power of Pretty.
I like the home so much that when I got home I took notes on how I can add a little bit of the styling to my home. Do you ever do this when you see decor on the pages of a magazine that make your heart go pitter-patter?
So stay tuned to see more blues in my decorating projects over the spring and summer.
Now onto the other inspiring links I found this week.
