I mean <span id="lwdp0" style="font-style: italic;">really</span> inspired you...<br /><br />I felt this wave of creative energy as I browsed through Holly Becker's blog, <a title="decor8" href="http://www.decor8.blogspot.com/" id="ofp9">decor8</a>. Holly is an interior design consultant and a prolific writer whose writing has been featured in many of the leading magazines in the U.S., including the <span id="z82.0" style="font-style: italic;">Boston Globe</span>, <span id="ez1t0" style="font-style: italic;">Domino</span> magazine, and <span id="z82.1" style="font-style: italic;">Real Simple</span>, just to name a few. You can also find her dishing out design tips and advice over at the <i id="k2h00">Real Simple </i>blog, <a title="Simply Stated" href="http://simplystated.realsimple.com/home/" id="rvmm">Simply Stated</a>. I discovered Holly's work while hanging around at <a title="Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/" id="f4o1">Flickr</a>. All I have to say is that when you're talented, everything artistic comes naturally!<br /><br />Here is a mosaic of some of <a title="Holly's photography" href="http://flickr.com/photos/decor8/sets/72157594489610615/" id="kzw_">Holly's photography</a>...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_2pF8K22l1OE/SBvpzcEPmeI/AAAAAAAABZk/4AxT_7vR9I8/s1600-h/Holly-Becker%27s-photography.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_2pF8K22l1OE/SBvpzcEPmeI/AAAAAAAABZk/4AxT_7vR9I8/s320/Holly-Becker%27s-photography.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196003665018591714" border="0" /></a><br /><center><small>1. <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/21784738@N00/274046795/">dress form in the window</a>, 2. <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/21784738@N00/280531980/">a certain tenderness</a>, 3. <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/21784738@N00/280531024/">sweet</a>, 4. <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/21784738@N00/288751158/">soaring</a></small></center>Maria Palmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13312421033720261560maria@salondemaria.info1
