Thursday Things: Inspiring me this week…

by Meg on August 5, 2010

As a designer, I am constantly looking for inspiration. I always mean to blog what I find, so that is what Thursday Things is all about!

I have been thinking of getting my woodshop on, and this blog: Knock Off Wood has inspired me to start building! The idea of having a piece in my house that I built with my hands excites me, and since I am always drooling over Pottery Barn catalogs, I might as well do it myself for cheaper! I think I will start with these:

And eventually work up to this:

But in white. We shall see. I will let you know of my progress…but can you believe you can build this beautiful table and benches  (that sells for 1200-1500 JUST for the table) for only 50 bucks?

That being said, We are beginning to re-do our kitchen which currently looks like this, and so I am trying to find some unique items to go with our shiny new kitchen when its done. These are too cute:

Matryoshka Doll Measuring Cups from Urban Outfitters

Cute eh?

This week I have also broke out my sewing machine, and I plan on making a cover for my Kindle using this fabric I got from the wonderful Fat Quarter Shop:

The designs and colors inspire the heck out of me, and I can’t wait to get this project done!

So, what’s inspiring you this week?
