Thinking outside of the Box

Once upon a time in cross village michigan there was a studio called the Rug Works. Located directly across from the historic Legg's Inn restaurant they designed and completed beautiful rugs using looms, with locally grown wool. The yarn was hand dyed. I was able to take a class where I made a rug pillow. The business closed shortly after this endeavor. I was able to buy a piece of shelving from this nostalgic place. I wasn't sure what I would do with the wood shelves, and kept it stored in a garage for two years.

 The shelving has it's imperfections. It has some boards that are slightly crooked. It has some scratches and some oblong compartments. It couldn't be more perfect to me. My entire life has been right angles, straight lines, solid colors, and doing the "right thing". This is much more organic and lends itself to many surprises. I plan to place all those items that are inspirational to me.  
One of my favorite quotes is "I believe that inspiration comes to all of us; we don't always realize it."I hope that I can fill this organic, not perfect, but ever so eclectic shelving unit with things of inspiration and wonder......
