I LOVE your style and tell everyone about it. We recently moved into our first house and am having so much fun slowly decorating. You should know that whenever I buy something or shop online, I keep you blog open off to the side of my computer screen and check in with it for advice. I've feel like I've learned a ton from you, and you continue to inspire me all the time. When I saw the pictures of the updated Black and Spiro it might surprise you to know that the first thing to catch my eye were the cars I could see driving outside the windows. I was so jealous of them. I'm living in Arizona, and hope to one day visit Black and Spiro for myslef! For now I'll continue to ask myself, "What would Anna do?"Schowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314092867351462406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-79768791871389599002010-09-19T04:24:01.673+10:002010-09-19T04:24:01.673+10:00It must be a particular thrill to see someone take...It must be a particular thrill to see someone take one of your creative ideas and put it in their home.

I am sure there are many others too who you have inspired by many means. Everytime I visit your blog there is something I see that I can relate to my own style. Even though you think you are writing for nothing, you are giving everyone so much to ponder with your creative prowess and keen eye. Trust me, you are always inspiring and are not blogging for nothing...hang in there.<br />Ness xxNess Lockyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786847644536923530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-54830148320005240732010-09-16T14:59:56.978+10:002010-09-16T14:59:56.978+10:00Anna, I have never commented before, but I have be...Anna, I have never commented before, but I have been reading this blog for two years from Melbourne.

Please don't pull the pin - you've been an inspiration to so many; your use of colour and design is such a breath of fresh air, and so original that it would be a huge loss to the blogging community if you were to stop. Maybe you need an blog assistant - if so, I would love to volunteer for the position!!!

I check here every day.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to inspire and entertain us. <br /><br />P.S. As a mother with two children I am also always inspired by seeing interesting children's rooms too - so if you have any snaps of Max's nursery I would personally love to see them.<br /><br />Thanks CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220085636301109751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588562210437039078.post-30239649664080051822010-09-16T09:56:14.484+10:002010-09-16T09:56:14.484+10:00Anna, you're one of the bloggers I return to t...Anna, you're one of the bloggers I return to time after time - never doubt why you're writing.
