How Flickr Can Inspire Creativity
Hello again everyone! It's Ez from Creature Comforts and I'd like to share a little bit of my inspiration process with you all today. It's very easy to look at a singular item and think to ourselves, I like that/I don't like that... but pulling together a cohesive "look" from these things can sometimes feel frustrating or even impossible. A couple of years ago I could never have looked at a beloved pile of magazine tears, nicknack's, and other odds and ends and described how they would translate into anything more than just a pile of jumbled inspirations. All this changed for me when I joined flickr (a fabulous photo sharing site) and began collecting "favorites" from fellow flickr member's photostreams. Suddenly there was a semblance of order to the things I liked. I spotted a trend immediately, and have been fascinated to see myself revealed through the collection of my favorites ever since. f you haven't tried flickr yet... I highly recommend it! So for today I've gathered several photos I saved on flickr and have used them to inspire a fictional office space that I'd love to have. In these photos I see: Beautiful flowery pinks, soft creamy whites, and rich wood tones... delicate romantic light and crisp modern accents.
