Everyday Inspirations


Everyone who knows me knows that I am a workaholic. I am constantly thinking about work and getting new ideas. If I am not in front of the computer, you will find me scribbling in my notebook I keep handy in my bag so that I don’t forget something I came up with. So, the other day, I was at Ikea and saw these really fun, contemporary place mats. They are all hand-made so all of them vary slightly in pattern. They were made out of thin twine wood and tangled together to make a round place mat. They just really caught my attention because they looked like art and were simple yet complex in pattern assembly. I almost wanted to buy a couple and just make a collage on my wall (even though I’m sure that was not the intentions of the designer for Ikea…).

I love furniture. I love interior decorating. I love clothes. I love little knick knacks. What do all of these have in common? They all have some sort of art or design on them. And it brings me such thrill when I can fall upon a piece that is quite ordinary, and others may just look over, and find inspiration for my own designs. A lot of people take one accent piece like a lamp or a rug, and tell their Interior Designer to base the style of their room on that accent piece. The same can be done with invitations and your wedding! You can give me a theme, color scheme, jewelry, place setting, party favor, ANYTHING and I will do my best to give you the most complimenting designs for your invitations, programs, menus, etc.!

This is just one sample. Please feel free to email me at
aquach@ladesignboutique.com if you have come across an item that you want to see transformed into a stationary design.
