I love when inspiration hits you when you least expect it.
{I also love having a camera on my phone so I can instantly snap photos of things that inspire me so that I don't forget.}
That's what happened today as I strolled through the stores of City Creek with my family. It just seemed like inspiration was everywhere!

Made a stop into West Elm for the first time & hello!
{I 'm in love!}
Saw this fabulous cake stand sitting on the shelves. Didn't get it, I was just admiring it. Really, do I need another cake stand to add to my collection. Hmmm.... after thinking about it, YES! With a name like Honeybee & hosting a boutique called The Hive it needs to come home with me.
Another thing that caught my eye was the display of wood paired with lots of fabulous mercury glass. I always love to decorate with putting shiny with dull, fancy with plain & smooth with rough. This got me thinking about Winter decor in the house & Christmas decor for next year. Loved it!
Of coarse I couldn't leave without stopping into my 2 favorite stores- Anthropologie & Restoration Hardware.
The Hubby & I haven't worked on a home decor project for a long time but I think we found one that we could do together. I really liked the table/bench, coffee table that Anthro had their Christmas trees stacked up on. It got me thinking! Something like that would look awesome in our great room. Glad I spotted it & took some pics. Also the garlands on the trees, does Anthropologie ever stop creating? That store amazes me every time I go in. Look close: it's paper clips & colored tape. Genius!
Last but not least, Restoration- I could live here! Just shut the doors & lock me in. Loved the table top display of candles, I could see that cluster of lights on my "creeper" on the kitchen island. I also loved their ornament display. I need to find me one of those zinc mug holders & place all the ornaments from my vintage collection on next year at Christmastime. Inspired by the idea of showing off my collection vertically.
Ok, just a little sneak peek into my travels this weekend. I love to share things with you that makes me excited. I hope you like it too. Stay tuned to see where all this inspiration takes me. Christmas is starting to come down around here & all things Winter are going up. How about you?

Restoration reminds me of a mid evil castle...and kinda freaks me out how dark and windowless it is!!
