Inspired Interiors For Living Well

INSPIRED INTERIORS FOR LIVING WELL

We believe in the human connection and celebrating the successes of others; in kindness and collaboration; in creating joyful, inviting, and livable homes — inspired by you — to empower you and your family.

A well-designed home sets the stage for a life well-lived and simply becomes the backdrop for more meaningful connections. Your home should encourage you to live in the moment with space to relax, recharge, re-energize, and get a good night’s rest. A well-designed home promotes well-being, provides peace-of-mind, and inspires you to pay it forward with each new day. We believe everyone deserves:

Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile, laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live. - Rachel Anne Numes . . Color really is the answer — it is what makes us fulfilled. When you live a color full life you take in everything and appreciate things as they are — without trying to change them. . . Surround yourself with people from every walk of life and learn to appreciate their uniqueness — you will grow from new wisdom and experiences. Your mind will become more fulfilled to better serve you. . . Fill your body with fruits and vegetables in every color of the rainbow and you will be more fully nourished. Be more active and participate in more physical activities: yoga, dancing, biking, hiking, swimming, walking, stretching and you’re body will be fulfilled to better serve you. . . Find outlets for creative expression and human connection: build, bake, cook, tinker, paint, volunteer, find ways to help others, celebrate with friends and family as often as you find a reason and your soul will be more fulfilled. . . Life is about the mind, body, and soul connection. The human connection. When life is off-kilter we suffer. We all want fulfillment and human connection. Practice kindness and forgiveness — it’s a better way of being. . . Check out this fabulous issue of @elledecor produced by visionary @whowhatwhit LOVE the cover shot and home of @jonathanadler and @simondoonan photographed by the ever-amazing and talented @thefacinator You all inspire my life more than you know.

We all seek to be fulfilled — to feel fulfilled. It is the driving force in our lives. . What is Fulfillment? It is simply feeling safe, comfortable, and happy in your environment and relationships. . . Creating a safe, comfortable, and happy physical environment and mental environment is key. You must have both to thrive. . . What practices do make time for in order to feel fulfilled and be better to yourself and others?. . Three things that help me to live happy are: Art making (mind) Biking (body) Yoga (mind, body, and soul) . . . . #joyfulinteriors #daneaustindesign #thecolorguy #whiteboxcondos #liveartfully #thenewtraditional #colorlove #startwiththeart #bostoninteriordesigner #lovelysquares #goodgrid #instadesigns #funphotography #design123 #instadecor #designinspiration #colorlover #howyouhome #interiorsblog #art #bostoninteriordesigner #luxe #interiordesign #designinspiration #bemindful #comfortistheultimateluxury #liveup #practiceforgivenessdaily
It’s funny how we trap our minds in worry, fear, anxiety, frustration, and anger. When we jail ourselves in these boxes of negativity we only act to separate ourselves further from the human connection. That’s the hard part in life — to realize when we are in the trap and remember that it is within all of us to know that no matter what happens it will be okay. We will be okay — if we learn to regularly forgive ourselves and others, live openly with each other through love, and leave our hearts open for every human being. . . . When clients told me they wanted a sectional large enough to entertain at least 12-15 people during the game — what I heard was — It’s important to have a space for all of our friends and family to gather and share our camaraderie in a common bond. . . . For this media room we designed a custom sectional the size of three twin size beds with a detachable chaise ottoman upholstered in cotton-blended forgiving fabrics, and paired it with a leather covered coffee table ottoman for even more flexibility. They now have a relaxed space where they love to hang out and lounge in comfort. . . . . #liveup #joyfulinteriors #daneaustindesign #mikeweberart #truth #livefromyourheart #thecolorguy #whiteboxcondos #leadwithlive #startwiththeheart #interiordesign #bostoninteriordesign #bostoninteriordesigner #wordsofwisdom #transitionaldesign #decorationideas #humanconnection #colorlover #interiordesigninspiration #interiorinspo #howyouhome #lovelysquares #familyroom #familyroomdecor #sectionalsofa #sectional #mediaroom #painting #art #riseandthrive
