Have you seen those features in design magazines where they ask a famous designer or style icon to list their top 10 (or 12?) items and inspirations they can't live without? I looove those. So one day, in true Gilda Radner fashion, I decided to write a post pretending that I was that fabulous designer who is asked to give her top 10 list and who, likewise, responds in a most benevolent and glorious fashion.
Then when Tile Envy was fortunate enough to be one of the 300 blogs participating in the sfgirlbybay.com blog-it-forward event, I thought -hey, I can just post this list-
1- Family-
- (of course)
2- Sausalito- a most cozy village.
- (shhh...best kept secret)
3-Radio Head, Kate Bush, Mozart - can't name them all - pushing on the sound barrier.
- (reminds me the world is magical)
4-Dries, Miuccia, McQueen (RIP), Galliano - and on and on - mixing theatrics with function.
- (art by seasons)
5- Movies. My perfect day- watching several.
- (the world through visions)
6-Magazines/Blogs- with editorials that surprise me.
- (surprising!)
7-Rauschenberg, Freud, Sargent, Cornell, Wyeth - and all artists that connect us to the collective unconscious.
(thanks tokujin)
8-The perfect meal - food, family, friends.
9-Birds -especially crows.
- (visiting where we only dream)
10. Tile. Repetition, color (or not), 90 degrees (or not); fire and earth.
There... the first 10 inspirations that popped into my head. It was difficult for me to limit myself to 10. I think I need to do at least 10 lists of 10 inspirations.
But, I hope that you're inspired enough to check in on the rest of my blog-it-forward group for 2/18/10. And for tomorrow- please log onto my tag-partner - Tiny-Ass Apartment. I've really enjoyed reading about what ingenious small-space creations are featured on Simone's entertaining blog.
