I normally decorate around a piece of fabric. That seems to be my starting point. Sometimes it’s furniture for a family room or kitchen and the bedding for the bedrooms. Love your cute teapot. I missed where you are decorating? I have been gone from blogging for a while and look forward to getting up to date.

I love that teapot! Inspiration pieces: My bedroom is designed around a black and white framed photos of my honeymoon, my living room around a huge oil on canvas of a sailboat and my nursery around a swatch of gingham fabric

I love the teapot! Is it cast iron? Alton Brown (Food Network) collects tea pots similar to that one.

Green, red, black, it’s all good!

I was going to say what Suzanne said about “inspiration pieces”. They use the term all the time on HGTV!

They’re always talking about using “inspiration pieces” on HGTV! It’s a great idea!

Love your kitchen and that teapot! I once decorated my kitchen around a ceramic planter that I used as as utensil holder–it had a big tomato painted on it, so I used lots of red in the kitchen

That is a fabulous teapot! I wanna know where she got it!

I’m repainting my kitchen based on this decorative wine box. And since it’s an open floor plan, by default, I’m decorating the whole house around this wine box…

Oh, absolutely! I decorated my kitchen based on the color scheme of a gift my girlfrend purchased for someone else that I managed to covet!…it was a little mouse that housed parmesan cheese…cute and cream, sage green and eggplant.
Your tea pot was your “inspiration point”. Yeah, I watch a lot of HGTV…I am a closet decorator!
Love the look of the love nest!

You’re inspiring me … seriously!

I have been known to decorate around a work of art. I love taking a piece of art I cherish and figuring out the paint, accessories, etc. around it rather than just picking random art to kind of go with the room.

Of course! It’s how some decorators do it, too. I have a friend who makes a good living doing such. All my appliances were black at the horse farm. I love your cute little kitchen!

Have a nice Sunday, Kacey.
