Crunch-Time

Sorry about the hiatus, guys. Crunch-time is upon us and it's showing. Anyway, I wanted to post pictures of the fabric for the chair and foot stools and also the board that I had made (the actual name for this kind of tool escapes me at the moment) with fabric swatches, pictures, paint, etc. on it, but I still cannot locate the charger for the camera. It's becoming a serious problem. I will renew search efforts in the morning.

A quick tip for today:
If you have no idea where to begin, collect inspiration in whatever form it may come. If you have a photograph you really like, it counts. If you find some cool driftwood on the beach, take a picture and keep it. It can be photos, fabric, a paint swatch, furniture, a painting, a sketch, a magazine rip-out, anything counts as inspiration. Once you have enough, you should be able to pick out some trends, such as Victorian, or modern, or whimsical, or maybe you'll end up with a very specific trend like 'run down beach shack with modern appliances'. Sometimes thinking of what you like isn't easy and it's better to show yourself. You can collect inspiration on a bulletin board or in a file or whatever form of organization is best for you. (I don't suggest using actual furniture in your inspiration file but maybe taking a picture of it? The same goes for the driftwood.)

So that's it for today!
