{ design for mankind: inspiration and then some! }

The dazzling and witty Ms. Erin over at Design for Mankind is at it again. First, she teamed up with Holly from Decor8 and Marisa from Creative Thursday (as previously see here) to launch an amazing collaboration, Roadmaps: A Guide to Creative Pursuits. It's a must read if you've ever thought of ditching your day job to follow your dreams and pursue your true passions. Breaking Free, the first post in this running series, has already provided me with much food for thought and I look forward to watching the series unfold.

As if that wasn't enough, the third issue of Design For Mankind's Inspiration E-Zine, Nooks and Crannies: Inspiration in the Home, was launched yesterday. I have to say, it seems to get better and better with each new issue { and yes, the online version is still free-wow! }. This month, we are treated to sneak peeks of inspiring corners within the homes of designers, artists and bloggers alike--a true feast for the eyes! Some of my favorites include:

Monica from M & Co

Archana Srinivas from rangdecor

So when you all have a moment {actually, you will need at least a few moments } grab your favorite beverage and pay Design For Mankind a visit–for more inspiring and thought provoking discussions, be sure to peruse the comments area of the Roadmaps: Breaking Free post. 

Congratulations Erin!
