Diamond in the Rough

October 16, 2012

Sometimes, you can find inspiration from right in front of you. Your home, your pets, your backyard, your furniture, your family, your friends…

Seeing what you have in the eyes of a stranger, may open you to new beauty and jewels you never knew you had.

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, so why not use what you’ve got?

I do photo shoots for this blog, and constantly find myself going through my house and driving through my city hunting for new places. I try to imagine I am a stranger driving the streets of my city and walking through my house. I ask myself:  How can I use this? How can I inspire myself and others? How  can I use what I have around me?

That is what vintage is all about! You take people’s throw aways and make them something beautiful– loved once more.

Nothing is lost and unwanted forever. There are so many diamonds in the rough, you just have to keep turning that rock until you see how it can glimmer…
