Blog It Forward: Inspiration

Hi everyone!

It's my turn for my Blog It Forward inspiration post! This was a fun one to come up with. I got lost in my "inspiration folder" for the last 2 days. :) Here we go, a glimpse into the mind of Meaghan... are you ready???


1) adventure & the open road

For me, there is nothing more inspiring than a road trip or an adventure. When you have the open road, train tracks, or trails ahead of you and the possibilities are endless. This is my favorite time. This is what recharges me.

The open road somewhere in Utah...

My tent is my home away from home.

This article on epic bachelorette parties inspired me to organize a fun Girls-Only camping trip this spring! I love the idea of being out in nature and goofing around with decorations, face paint, ghost stories and making the campsite look AWESOME. You can read the full article here.





2) twinkle lights

I love ambiance. If my house were on fire, everyone who knows me knows that the thing I would save are my twinkle lights. :) They are the first thing I put up in a new room, the last thing I turn off, and my favorite thing to dream under if I need inspiring. They instantly turn any space into a fairy land...















3) bikes

This is my favorite mode of transportation! I've been a little bit of a slacker this winter, but now that the weather is warming up, i'm looking forward to summer night rides, the breeze in my hair, cruising downtown to meet with friends on my trusty bike, Clementine.


This is my Clementine.

4) bright colors

As you all know, I love me some turquoise. I also LOVE decorating with bright colors. My house has no white walls! I've been known to paint walls on a whim and change the color quite often. I think that I fall in love with a new color every other week & just HAVE to have it incorporated in my existence. For me, constant change helps me keep a fresh mind.




5) music

I love so many kinds of music it's impossible to narrow it down to favorites. When I want instant inspiration, Fiona Apple is my go-to gal. I started painting in high school when I was listening to her a lot and now whenever I put on her album it's like a switch gets flipped in my head saying, "It's time to paint Meaghan!" Here are a few of my favorites for you to enjoy!
