The Inspired Room is what is known as a “home blog,” which means I have the awesome privilege of sharing my own thoughts and ideas for creating a home with my readers! I’m a “home blogger” and I love what I do!
I’ve been a home blogger since 2007 and it has been an amazing journey. Blogging has taken me from what started out as a part of my real decorating business to a now full time business as a blogger and publisher of decorating inspiration. I’m honored that The Inspired Room was voted as one of the top 12 home blogs on the web for the past two years at Apartment Therapy!
If you are looking for simple, affordable and inspiring ideas for decorating your home, I put together a list and inspiration gallery of many of my favorite How to Decorate posts. You can find many of my ideas by clicking the banner below.
One of my favorite things about blogging though isn’t just getting to share my ideas, it is the community of like minded bloggers, all sharing their own homes, ideas, journeys and passion for life.
I love to feature other bloggers and introduce you to their blogs, their room makeovers and awesome DIY projects.
You can find lots of features of bloggers’ projects in my Room Tours and DIY section! You can click on the banners below to check them out! Enjoy!
Have a fab time :)
what would I do without Home Depot The answer to all my needs and wants…..I cal it my Home Away from Home> We are serial renovators and have been for over 40 years > Hubby and I have restored or rebuilt over 16 houses and moved almost that many times. So Home Depot is my second home! Good luck to all of us Sure would be SUPER!! Thanks
Enjoy every moment . . . especially getting to lead the home bloggers group.
Fondly,
Glenda

Have a great time at Blissdom…never heard of it but sounds fun. I love your great ideas!
Thanks for the helpful inspiration and advice… 1860’s farmhouse renovation in progress and needing all the help I can get!
I started blogging in September and have gotten hooked. There are so many talented people and beautiful images – it is truly unbelievable. I think I am going to spend a few minutes on blogging, and hours can pass by as I look at so many beautiful rooms, flowers, and creative ideas.
Check out my blog sometime at http://www.antiqueaholics.blogspot.com

Yay Home Bloggers! My flight leaves in the am! Can’t wait to meet you in person! We’ll all have a fabulous time! Great Tumbler pics too!
I was in Home Depot 2ce this weekend! I love your ideas and the other websites that you share! Enjoy Blissdom!
Enjoy your trip! I really enjoy the inspiration from your blog and hope to win the gift card. Just spent a couple of hours there this weekend. Trying to get up the courage to paint my oak kitchen cabinets.
Melissa! How I wish I was going to Blissdom. I am still hoping to make it back to Relevant!
I thought I would link up this post. Our home is in the early stages of interior ideas… we have been mostly doing renovations. But this floor solution has been one of my best projects! I hope you like it:

I hope to meet you IRL at Blissdom!
Hope you have a wonderful time at the conference!
I just _hate_ that I live here in Nashville and can’t attend Blissdom! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
The boys bathroom at our home needs a revival from 1980’s oak. We would love to replace a vanity and the lighting!
Enjoying your blog as always!
I just started reading blogs. Thanks for being one that I look forward to seeing show up in my igoogle reader! I haven’t figured out how blogs such as yours have things to win, but that’s cool! I enjoy learning about blogs, and hope to one day get the one I’ve had friends requesting that i offer the world…using design to help people design their life (internally as that I’m a counselor and support people living their most beautiful lives). The counseling part is easy, figuring out the logistics of blogging is the adventure. Anyhow, thanks for the inspiration to blog!
can’t wait to see what you do! Would love to finish my bathroom, had to halt mid-remodel due to some expected financial changes…
Pushing for the win! I would love a HD card. Have fun at Blissdom!
Sending you with prayers and wishing u joy–Melissa & ~all~ readers/bloggers off to B’dom! I wish I could go too! But,like my bathroom(haha) that’s gonna take some work! Love ya dear one! Have a wondrous time & we expect LOTSA pictures! Anybody with me on that one? pictures! :D xoxox snooz
Your blog is truly an inspiration! I’ve been looking for ideas on how to make my apartment more of a home and I really enjoy the great things you have to share. Thanks!
Have fun at Blissdom! If I win the HD card I promise to put it to good use!!!
Thanks for sharing, sharing and sharing. Love your give away.. HD he someone comes.. Hope it is me.
I would love to win so we can start our kitchen reno. Love your blog.
Great post! I get so inspired looking at other people’s projects that are posted on their blogs. I’m ready to make over several areas of my home and an HD card would be awesome!

Have fun at Blissdom! Can’t wait to hear all about your adventures!

My bathroom is antique white. I would love to paint it a pretty color. That just might spark some creativity in there!

I so wish I was at Blissdom so I could meet you!
I have been a semi-blogger for about 2 years but an “active” on for a few months now and your blog was one of the first ones I came across and fell in love with!
Thank you so much for the awesome ideas and laughter!
We know you will come back recharged from Blissdom.
And…in case you are speaking…there will be some of us praying, mightily, for you;)
Have a fun and encouraging time Melissa!
