Sometimes designing things and getting inspired feels forced, and that never works. So when I’m “not feelin’ it.”, 1st dibs usually serves as a good muse. I never leave their site without another pic in the inspiration folder. It also provides some entertainment, because the prices tend to be stratospheric. I realize that everyone is not a hands on type of person, but you could literally go to europe for a week, buy the stuff at a flea market there, then have it shipped back home, for less than what most of the dealers are asking.
Below are a sampling of this weeks virtual shopping trip. I didn’t include the prices, because you know what they say, “If you have to ask…”

Wine basket chandelier
A near ancient, Andalucian bench.
All the rage these days, and old bench with linen upholstery.
