A newbie's dilema in this strange new world of Blogging

So here is my conundrum, over the years I have gathered literally thousands of photos that inspire me.  Some are just rooms or spaces that feel good, some are very specific design ideas that I wanted to remember.  Clever tile designs, amazing architecture, simple but innovative installations... some achingly beautiful.  The problem is that at the time that I saved these photos it was strictly for my own personal inspiration.  It never actually occurred to me that I may someday have a forum like this to share them with you, and as a result I never took the time to record the sources of the photos.  I know that if someone were to share photos of my work, I would want to receive credit and so I am not insensitive to that.  If you are the photographer or designer that belongs with a particular photo and you'd like to receive credit (or have the photo removed), please just let me know!  and please know that if it appears here, I love your work!

To tide us over until I can put together my next post... please check out this amazing countertop installation by MGS by Design, via the blog The Granite Gurus.  You can see the entire post by clicking on the link.  In this particular photo they extended a granite countertop into a circular cut-out between the kitchen and living area to create this awesome art display...


Until next time..
