Inspiration Books
I admit it…I am a magazine addict! And much to my husband’s dissapointment I just cannot bring myself to throw any away! So these “inspiration books” are my solution. I go through my old magazines (usually a combo of Domino, InStyle, Lucky, Martha Stewart, among others) and tear out the pages I like best. I then paste them into blank sketchbooks and ta dah!!
They serve as my permanent inspiration board in a book form. I try and paste things according to categories or themes. I can’t tell you how many times we have thumbed through these before starting a new line of products. It works every time!
