Visual references, For every element of living
More often then not, When discussing a piece of furniture, a meal idea or contemplating a new accessory I often finding my brain scanning through all of my favourite visual reference libraries. Countless back issues of design magazines, Pinterest , Coffee table books, Youtube home tours or runway collections.
Not only does it drive the idea, Much like a concept board at the beginning of a design project, It also harnesses some magic in manifesting the loved and ogled piece to life. I have witnessed it happen in my life without understanding the connection, But now through my own obsession with the mystical world I have read and studied, even practised a number of modalities, systems and mediations that all come down to visualising what you want.
A little food for thought and another good reason to visit the news agency, book store or give your Pinterest a good update and scan. Sometimes when Im not feeling myself I go over my thousands of Pinterest references, Old elle decor or read a recipe book in bed. All of the incredible imagery, story telling and inspiration is the exact medicine to get me feeling light and excited again.
Worth a try.
