What inspires you?

I've been feeling a little uninspired ever since we got back from Paris. (It can be hard to get back into the swing of things, don't you think?) So, I'd love to know: What inspires you? xo

  3. old buildings. blooming flowers. walks outside.

  4. A nice relaxing day outside! At the beach, at a park, outside at a cafe - just being out in the open relaxing. ;)

    um... you! i print out cool ideas (like the one with colored paper and butterflies) and attack a project at home.

    ReplyDelete

  6. lately I've been inspired by bold & bright colors...taking them in like crazy!

    ReplyDelete

  7. Beautiful days. Or really windy days. Old buildings. Colors. Old books and magazines. Photography. Paintings. Drawings. Certain movies. Music.

    ReplyDelete

  8. The unexpected. When things don't happen how I expect them, I get inspired to allow other things to deviate from the plans I have.

    ReplyDelete

  9. Beautiful blogs like yours, and shopping at a good arts supply store!

    ReplyDelete

  10. I'm inspired by rain, by a lot of blogs I see everyday with beutiful posts like yours and by my loved ones

    ReplyDelete

  11. sometimes home depot, no really, i'll wander around and look at all of their materials and think of other uses for them. i added copper flashing around the windows and doors of my chocolate shop and was a hit. also, vintage stores, salvage stores and anything to do with design...new blogs are always fun to seek out, definite inspiration!

    ReplyDelete

  12. I really do believe that it is those mild and awkward times that are the ones to be taken advantage of. Just like this, sit back and open the door for all of life's unexpected to stop by and say 'Hello'.

    ...Hello.

  13. Joanna.. I find art so inspiring! I helped a graffiti artist friend paint last night and felt so revitalized by all of his creative energy..

    his show is tomorrow night in NY. details on www.bigreddiary.com

    would love for you to stop by!

    ReplyDelete

  14. good friends! reading new good books, traveling by train, going to a museum for a quiet hour!

    ReplyDelete

  15. This will sound weird, but lists! I love listing my wishes, dreams, favorites. I find that just pouring it out onto paper can help get the sparks going.

    ReplyDelete

  16. Right now, in my hemisphere, Autumn is a great inspiration. Also, taking walks around the neighborhood. I bet you can find inspiration in Spring, too, and strolls in Central Park!
    Hope you fight the blues away soon!

    ReplyDelete

  17. these are AMAZING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  18. I love to just go for a little bike ride in the city with my iPod on; the music and the fresh air usually do the trick. (and of course, there's always peanut butter & chocolate!) ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  20. blogs, book stores, thrift stores, and my favorite photographers

    ReplyDelete

  21. This is hard! There is so much that inspires me!! Passionate conversations with motivating friends, good music, clean rooms, bright sunny days! Once I mentally get in the zone, then I'm good, but it can be hard to start. Especially when you come back from an awesome vacation! Sometimes I come back from travels all excited to do something, and other times I come back just yearning to be back on vacation. It can put you in a slump, but don't worry... knowing how you are, I'm sure you'll beat the funk soon!

    ReplyDelete

  22. Well besides all the other amazing blogs out there - I'm inspired by music...of all types. When I pop in some Joni Mitchell she makes me think of soft colors, images of light, flowing fabrics or a crisp room with sunlight pouring in. At the same time she reminds me rain tapping on the window, curled up in a cozy blanket and a warm cup of tea.
    And she ALWAYS makes me think of my Mom who is a huge inspiration to me!

    ReplyDelete

  23. Hi Joanna,

    Being in a creative field I know how you feel. Sometimes it is hard to find inspiration. A long talk with a friend always helps me. Also, finding beautiful things like magazines, fabrics, pictures, always makes me feel inspired.

    ReplyDelete

  24. hands down my son, my husband and my puppy girl. my little family is all the inspiration I need.

    p.s. I adore your photo of the little princess in her tutu. too cute

    ReplyDelete

  25. You inspire me :)
    truly you do.

    I have to say other people's blogs always help me, entertain me, take me away from my worries or stress. kinda dorky, but thank goodness for the internets

    ReplyDelete

  26. Reading about or seeing other people's passions come to life on their blogs like www.persistingstars.blogspot.com or www.ravenn.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete

  27. Joanna, I think something is in the air. I've been suffering from a case of semi-writer's block for the last few days. When I feel like this, I like to just step back from whatever I'm working on (unless there's a pressing deadline, of course!) and get outside. Taking a walk on a beautiful spring day really goes a long way toward clearing my head.

    And of course, a little shopping never hurt either! ;)

    ReplyDelete

  28. hardwork. work hard at one thing for an hour or two: your job, your laundry, your garden or helping others. Then when you are done and you see all that you have accomplished. You will have inspired yourself. I find it is so easy to track down external inspiration... other's blogs, other's stories, other's art. But at the end of the day - it still isn't mine to behold.

    ReplyDelete

  29. aw, steph, that is so sweet :)

    ReplyDelete

  30. surrounding myself with colors. and of course, nature!

    ReplyDelete

  31. I created an account at GoodReads.com. It's a social network organized around the books people are reading and the ones they want to read. It has been a great sort of inspiration for me and I am having very few dull moments since I started using it. Whenever I am feeling blah, I go look at books. That always lifts my spirits.

    a strong cup of coffee :)

    ReplyDelete

  33. weird, i've been feeling the same this past week.

    i think it's a combination of things that inspire me. it doesnt need to be anything specific, but maybe good weather, a random smile, a chocolate biscuit and a pretty picture in the same day. done.

    ReplyDelete

  34. you.

    feel encouraged. inspiration i just around the corner. perhaps literally.

    ReplyDelete

  35. I have felt very uninspired this week as well. What has helped is going out and breathing in some fresh air. Then think of everything you are thankful for and remember places and people who have inspired you. Good luck miss Joanna! :)

    ReplyDelete

  36. i have a little black book that i carry with me always...i have written down so many inspiring ideas over time that i can feel inspiration all over again when i flip through it.
    of course my google reader is a sure source of inspiration too!

    ReplyDelete

  37. Beautiful photography, mostly black and white, thoughtful and clever writing... Your blog in fact!

    ReplyDelete

  38. A combination of things: NPR, The Times, the book of the moment, different magazines & all photo blogs. The best way I inspire myself is to take my camera around with me and snap random bits of beauty where I live...it forces you to see the teeny tiny things as wonderful & new.

    ReplyDelete

  39. Sorry for the second post, but I had to mention this magazines, full of inspiration:

    All Things Ordinary
    Lay Flat
    Beautiful/Decay
    Uppercase

    I'm always looking for more.

    ReplyDelete

  40. art, other artists, the process of creating something freely without judgment and seeing what comes out of it, people I love, people who do good things for others.

    ReplyDelete

  41. oh yeh, people who are at their most brutally honest. when they are, I love seeing their personalities.

    ReplyDelete

  42. antique stores and thrift shops! Gets me pondering how I can incorporate the items I find into my home, art, life, etc. and also gets me thinking about who could have owned the things first and what their stories were.

    ReplyDelete

  43. Ah, the post-Parisian slump. I know it well. Mine lasted most of April - after being somewhere so SO it was hard to get back into normal life.

    I've ben fighting my way out doing unexpected pure joyful things - like going swimming in a pool and doing underwater handstands, or jumping rope outside, or making a crazy cake as a surprise for a friend, or reading something completely off my radar just for fun.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Anonymous1:50 PM

    Reading something beautiful, fresh flowers, clean crispy sheets, music I love, gently lightly raining days, poetry.

    ReplyDelete

  45. walking and gawking - either urban or nature, making lists, caffeine!, colours(looking at paint charts even if you don't plan to paint anything), flowers, making something easy like a pom pom or garland to cheer up surroundings, moving furniture around, baking, taking random photos, making a collage... but sometimes it feels ok not to be inspired, that's usually when I need a rest, just to read a book, have a bath and take things in for a while. And Oh God, PPS (post Paris slump) - I know it well. Unfortunately there's no cure except further trips to Paris, not even macarons help (much). x

    ReplyDelete

  46. documentaries. passionate, well-written articles. children being children. a good downpour. being in nature. NPR! yoga class. :)

    hope you feel better soon! big hugs!

    ReplyDelete

  47. anytime i need a little inspiration i surf the web and look around at different style sites. and not to sound cheesy but i often look to your site for inspiration! : )

    Dance round like crazy. I'm into Beirut at the mo. But also it's good to be really still. Just spending time noticing things. Shapes, tastes, smells. consciously making little discoveries. And People watching. (Unobtrusively of course) then piecing together the stories of their lives.

    Itunes offers a whole bunch of podcasts on every topic you can imagine...they even have TED Talks..and the best part is, most of them are free! =)

    oh, and good movies always does the trick.

    ReplyDelete

  60. blog, looking at great images, reading, design school also inspires me a lot!
    oh, and please post some inspiring images from your trip to Paris!
    I guess everybody feels like that after a great trip, I know I did after I went to NY last year.

    ReplyDelete

  62. outdoors, stepping away from the screen and getting out taking a break from all the overwhelming talent and blogs out there and finding my own creativity within myself! Sounds cheesy but it helps.

    ReplyDelete

  63. Inspiration almost always comes from my friends! Family too. I love to get out and see the world as much as possible.
    But I find that putting ideas out on the table with friends over dinner or a long chat on the phone, is essential to fueling creativity. I know I've inspired others that way, and others continue to inspire me with their art, their world, their points of view.
    It's good to start from scratch sometimes and just get out with an open mind too.
    (Take a different road!)

  64. good weather after a long winter. i just love how everyone is suddenly outside and everything looks so much prettier!

    ReplyDelete

  65. i totally know how you feel. i juts came back from a two week vacation and i feel the slump too :). everything is just so much more wonderful when youre on vacation, no? being outside inspires me. like the smell of ocean air or dewy trees..

    ReplyDelete

  66. If I am bored, I start to notice things around the house or even in the garden that need improving so that will spur me on... With me, I love the sun and being outside so that helps me get out and work in the yard...

    ReplyDelete

  67. I am inspired by my ocean visits, only 2.5 blocks away :), and the twinkling eyes and smiles and hugs from my niece and nephew, ages 4 and 8.

    ReplyDelete

  68. i've been reading "the sharper your knife the less you cry" by kathleen flinn... it's amazing! it is about an american who goes to paris to enroll in the Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in paris!

    it's inspired me to cook more and to go for your dreams...quotes also inspire me:)

    "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."
    Ernest Hemingway

    ReplyDelete

  69. Grey and white interiors with beautiful hardwood floors and pops of yellow. My friends. The sun (it's been hiding for the last month and decided to make an appearance today). All the blogs I read.

    But I hear you. I'm having a really hard time getting my act together when it comes to being inspired at work (as a designer). It's just about killing me.

    ReplyDelete

  70. i hear ya sister! i've been the same the past couple of days...changing weather maybe? my inspiration is just walking around...either in the city or the mall. inspiration doesn't have to come from glamorous places or people! just from the little things...and it really happens when you least expect it. patience! xo

    ReplyDelete

  71. life it self...
    in the smallest things...
    every day!

    ReplyDelete

  72. Looking around a bit more carefully when I'm out. I just discovered there are buttercups and bluebells on my walk to the train station each morning - along the train tracks.

    ReplyDelete

  73. here's an instant cure for inspiration-loss: Image Spark. www.imgspark.com

    The creators made the site specifically to organize their inspiration, and were kind enough to open it up to the less-than-inspired public.

    I feel like a billboard, but I am soooo addicted.

    my husband,
    talking to emerging designers about their work because they have so much PASSION,
    art,
    other blogs!

    xoxo

  77. hmm. i like keeping a scrap book and have a little muji note pad next to my screen to jot down random ideas. and i have my camera with me at all times - it makes me see things differently and often triggers ideas.

    also random snippest of conversation i overhear on the street or on the train ;)

  78. the lovely little girl in the pink tutu inspires me. i was once that little girl. ballet lessons here i come!!

    ReplyDelete

  79. for starters, joanna, your blog. you've got a nice pulse on the fanciful, pretty things floating around the interwebs. the talents of my friends. travel. kansas breathing space. zero breathing space in NYC. the fact that history does not always have to repeat itself. pretty gals in pretty clothes. etc., etc., etc...

    ReplyDelete

  80. My husband and my daughter. There is nothing like both of their smiles.

    ReplyDelete

  81. Joanna,
    Wow! First, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your Paris trip. Coming down off that one is tough...
    It's tough for me after spending a few hours by the ocean!! :D

    I've recently gotten into the French, Marie Claire Idees!
    It's filled with LOADS of ideas plus just wonderfully, colorful photographs. I usually search far and wide to get my hands on an issue; they are just marvelous.
    It was an inspiration for my most recent blog entry... crocheting colorful posies.

    I wish you the very best!

    ReplyDelete

  82. I've just gotten back from an amazing month overseas and found it hard to re-engage with life here, but one thing that has proved a pleasant surprise is that I went to some AMAZING cities, and it's made me realise that the one I live in ain't so bad after all.

    I've reconnected, albeit slowly, by making time to do all the things I love about my town, such as have amazing coffee every day, walking around the city and taking pictures of the lights, cuddling up in my bed reading, staring out of the window sitting in my favourite armchair, etc.

    So, I'd suggest making a list of things you love about NYC and doing one of those things every day - it won't take long to love your life again! xo

  83. keepsakes, quotes, photographs, being outside, the beach, my family :)

    ReplyDelete

  84. the beach, surfing, reading, hiking, good theatre, friends, and my brother.

    ReplyDelete

  85. I like to clean. If I'm having a hard time coming up with fresh ideas, I stop, start cleaning, and keep doing that until I get new ideas. Generally with awesome music, too!

    ReplyDelete

  86. The complexity, simplicity, and overall unity of nature...=)

    ReplyDelete

  87. a really amazing estate with a large lawn - specifically the crane estate outside of boston. it's so drop dead gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete

  88. ...not giving in when the rain doesn't stop. the grey mist of memories. pablo neruda. the way things can change. soft light. growth. unconditional love. the color purple. local independent businesses. gut-wrenchingly hard work. a perfect margarita on a blazing hot summer's day with inimitable friendships. laughter to tears.

    i needed that. thank you-
    betsy

    ReplyDelete

  89. practicing yoga with good music playing in the background and also a call to a girlfriend who 'gets' me; both these things help me push through.

    ReplyDelete

  90. the ocean, bright colors, blogs I can escape in, a great cup of coffee, farmer's markets, fresh laundry, evening candles, sunsets with my lover(hubby), Oatmeal with fresh blueberries-almonds-brown sugar, fresh mint for mojitos, sunrise with little hands waking me, a road trip with great tunes, forehead kisses and laughter.

    ReplyDelete

  91. Downloading a new podcast, taking a long walk to a thrift store, and browsing my way through clothes, vintage pyrex, picture frames...and finding something pretty to take home!

    ReplyDelete

  92. Beautiful weather, the ocean, love, the color pink, art, tulips, old recipes...

    ReplyDelete

  94. I tend to be bored and depressed and eat a lot when I get home from vacation. SO I have to run (even though I'm a terrible runner) in order to feel motivated enough to eat well and get anything accomplished.

    And as always, blogs motivate me! :)

    -Jill

  95. Beautiful blogs like yours and sometimes some random overheard conversations. They can be very hilarious to begin with, but then you'll start thinking, "Hey he's right!"

    ReplyDelete

  96. my family and friends, the thought of the final result, life itself, a happy mood, a lyric of a song..

    anything.

  100. nature, music (bob dylan), poetry, reading (currently the unbearable lightness of being), exploring! great movies and family.
    oh, and painting! coloring! art!

    I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!

    I now this may seem weird, but read Emerson or Whitman... Every time I read them, I get an entirely new outlook on things. Reading Self Reliance inspires me every time.

    And if that doesn't work... investigate the art of bread. One of my favorite things in the world is eating a delicious baguette (though this may just remind you that you're not in Paris any more).

    Good luck!

  107. Taking my bicycle out for a spin. It helps clear my head and it's great way to see the same old places in a new way.
    I would agree with the TED talks, too that someone mentioned above. I would also agree that ART of all kinds is inspiring. My friend's brother is doing amazing art all around the world. He just had a showing at the Pompidou. http://www.jr-art.net The trains in Kenya are my favorite.

  108. My son, my book (Maguerite Duras, paul auster, Jacques prevert, ...) , cooking cakes, watching the weather changing in the sky, art exhibition, Fabrics, my darling, and actually a "Friend at first sight" who a raï singer...

  110. So many things inspire me! The best ones are a surprise!

    I love connecting with people, because I frequently find amazing people with great stories.

    I love art in all its glorious forms!

    I love nature because you can learn so much...even from a tiny ant!

    I try to keep a curious and open mind...to learn everything I possibly can...which keeps me inspired all the time!

    I feel inspired just talking about it! Yeah...I'm a little geeky!

    Have a lovely day!

    Notably,
    bouncing ideas back and forth with my fiance.
    walking/biking/riding a bus through the city, making notes of things that interest me.
    taking photographs...framing things in a different way than I originally saw them.
    sifting through beautiful blogs like yours!
    seeing a need and trying to fill it.
    taking time outside to just breathe.

    I hope you find your inspiration! =)

    Check out Ian Bostridge singing Schubert's "Du bist die Ruh"

    or, to get your blood pumping

    Dawn Upshaw's "Tancas serradas a muru" off of her Ayre CD

    Enjoy! Hope it helps: )

  128. I know how you feel...I think it's the good weather one day, bad weather the next that contributes to it...but it happens to me sometimes too. Last week I went to the Met though and I felt this crazy surge of creativity. I live in NY and don't get to the museums nearly enough. why? I made a pact to go to one or to a gallery or concert or show at least once every two months. I think I can swing it but who knows...sometimes all you need to do is walk down a street in Manhattan and notice the details and suddenly you can feel inspired. Esp in your beautiful neighborhood! :)

    ReplyDelete

  129. along the same lines as blog reading: i love when i can sit for a while by myself and look through magazines, clipping, cutting, and pasting beautiful things and ideas into my inspiration journal. it's like my own personal collection of beautiful and inspirational things i can come back to over and over again.

    ReplyDelete

  130. estates sales, flea markets, old books, magazines, wonderful bloggers like you, my family. it's funny how inspiration comes & goes, isn't it? i have days where i'm totally uninspired and others it's overflowing. enjoy your weekend!

    ReplyDelete

  131. I like to get a cup of coffee and go to a big retail bookstore and wonder around the fiction section. Sometimes it's the title that catches me (don't flip it over, just enjoy what you think it's about), but usually it's the cover art. Good covers are really fun, but bad covers are better because I want to design a new cover for it. Thinking about why the cover failed and what would make it look better gives my head a goal, something to work for while it's warming up.

  133. I get inspired alot from my Childhood. Growing up together with my siblings, my mum. They are on my mind daily and I have a lot of happy memories. Its nice to think about them.

    I also get inspired things I see on my way to work, what I read in the newspapers and from my friends.

    inspired by small acts of kindness like generosity without an expected return;autumn air and scenery; laughter of children in a movie theater; Eleanor Roosevelt (she rocks or rocked rather) and many other things that end up as colors on my canvass
