Online inspiration

We all find inspiration in different places. I find lots in nature, films, books, museums, and even shopping (Anthropologie, anyone?)
 
But I also get a lot from my computer (and - let's be honest - my phone) -- I wanted to share my favorite blogs and creative inspirations I've found online. 

Art Blogs:


 from Pam Garrison

Pam Garrison is a great artist and has a fairly active blog. I LOVE her use of color, and her sketchbook doodles are so gorgeous I want to frame them. 


 

Emily Jeffords is an amazing artist and oil painter who creates dreamy abstract landscapes. She also has a great blog where she talks about working in the creative industry. Lots of good tidbits. 


Home Decor/Lifestyle Blogs:


I LOVE home decor and have a not-so-secret obsession with decorating (have you seen my Pinterest board?? It's out of control.



House of Jade Interiors (formerly 6th Street Design School) - I love this blog and their aesthetic. Pretty but totally livable design.  



A Beautiful Mess - more of a lifestyle blog but with huge doses of home decor and DIY. And always so much COLOR. I love color. And their photography is always on point.


Business-y Blogs: 


These blogs aren't just about business, but offer a lot of inspiration for running a creative business. When you work from home/work alone you don't get that office atmosphere and constant brainstorming/ critiquing/ advice-filled environment. 


Smart Creative Women - I mean, it's all in the title. Artist and blogger Moncia Lee has an impressive catalog of podcast interviews with (you guessed it) smart, creative women. So much inspiration, and so easy to listen to while you work. 



Sycamore Street Press - This blog run by the stationery brand of the same name offers visual inspiration interspersed with small business tips (mostly focusing on the stationery biz). Some super useful stuff in here!



Oh So Beautiful Paper - chock full of gorgeous photos and fun DIYs, this blog also offered a series called "Brick and Mortar" with tips for small stationery biz owners and designers. Very insightful and helpful. (also the best blog to stalk during and right after the National Stationery Show each year. So. much. pretty.)




What are your favorite sites for inspiration?
