One Kings Lane has a get inspired feature with Barbara Barry. Here are some of her designer tips and inspiration.01 Light – it is the most important thing. It brings energy making any space come alive. I am blessed to live and work in California where the light is magical.
02 Color – never undervalue the power of color. I tend to match different facets of the same hues the way they are matched in nature. I love subtle shades because they are soft on the eye and on the soul.
03 Form – I am thrilled by the shape of things, from an egg, to a spoon, to a teacup. For me it is all about the artful composition– lovely arrangement and groupings of various forms.
04 Nature – it is my biggest inspiration. I find it mesmerizing and elegant. My garden is where I start each morning, and what I'm fortunate enough to see out my window.
05 Process – Whatever I'm working on starts with a composition of materials and objects on a tray. I also regularly tack up images, sketches, and photos that intrigue me. I'm inspired by how it flows together and allows me to see their interconnectedness.

Girl you spoke the TRUTH on my blog today. Loved loved loved it. I so agree with it. I just wish there was more. Women help make the world go round so if there were more women getting to know other women of different races, I think that could lead to positive change..I dont know...I am just to hopeful I guess. I am so happy for you though. Thats what I mean...you forget their color because their color is not what the relationship about its about the PERSON.
