I enjoyed Tim’s post last week about exterior elements being used as interior walls. Such a great way to bring some character to a space.

Speaking of exterior-inspired walls, I ran across this photo at Southern Living and I LOVE it. I am so into those walls! And love the transom windows too. In fact, the whole house is really nice, go check it out!

What is inspiring you today? I’m trying to get back into the swing of things after Blissdom but mostly I have just felt like taking a nap. It was so great to be with everyone, but I need to get back to my real world (being alone with my computer, lol).

  I had an absolutely fabulous time at Blissdom.

  FABULOUS. Seriously, I can hardly believe how many wonderful people I met this year. This photo shows just a TINY fraction of the awesomeness of Blissdom.

  I learned, laughed (hysterically, I might add), cried, talked (a lot) and sat back and watched women that I admire come out from behind their laptop screen and show me once again that these are REAL AUTHENTIC women whose voices you can trust. They are exactly who they present themselves to be online. No bald old men in the bunch (phew, I know you are GLAD to know that!).

  I could fill up several posts of valuable lessons, fun photos (which I will have to steal because I did not even take ONE photo. FAIL!) and hilarious tidbits for you, and I will, but tonight, I’m shutting off the laptop and curling up in my own bed for a long, long, sleep. It was a long, amazing and unforgettable week. Next conference I’m going to? Relevant. I hope you’ll plan on being there!

  PS. Do you recognize these bloggers? Ha, and I have to tell you I was wearing heels. LOL.

    No, I didn’t go to Orlando to do a drive by. But one of my blog readers happens to live there. And … she just started a new blog! Woot! Love hearing about new bloggers. When I went over to visit her at the new blog, I was tickled pink to find her posting a Drive By of a beautiful neighborhood near her home. We are KINDRED SPIRITS!

    I knew you’d all enjoy her drive by (especially since I’ve been a drive by slacker lately),  so I’m linking over. And while you are there, give Tara a big hearty welcome to blogworld!

    I’m adding our Friday Linky for you to link up your inspiration. I have no idea what my new linky will be after the winter home linky. I’m at a loss.

    Any ideas of what YOU’D like to see here on Fridays?
