Confessions of a Design Voyeur

A dear friend is quite ill. Fortunately, lots of people have pitched in to help in various ways. My task: walk her sweet dog, which is no task at all since I am a flag-flying dog lover.

Last night as we were walking around her quaint neighborhood, I realized that I was peeking into her neighbors windows. Granted, I was of the "from the sidewalk" variety rather than nose-pressed-to-the-window type, but still, I was blatantly trying to see inside. However, let me say this in my own defense - I wasn't trying to see the people inside, I just wanted to see their interiors! I love seeing how people live, their design schemes, their themes, or lack-therof. As I walked around the neighborhood trying to appear as if I wasn't peeking, I realized that I am a design voyeur - and I feed that need daily by through the dozens of blogs that I regulary read. I literally could spend the whole day perusing blogs.

As a wedding planner, I justify this by drawing inspiration from the beautiful interiors that I see, and translate the beautiful elements from interiors into fabulous details for the weddings that I plan.

Today I'm sharing a few photos from a two of my favorite blogs: Simply Seleta and House of Turquoise.

Happy Weekend! And to my fellow design voyeurs - happy peeking!
