Two Pretty Spaces: Colorful Outdoor

I think everyone needs an outdoor space with fun colors to cheer them up. Which one would you rather have?
Left: LivingEtc Right: triciafountainedesign

I often get asked how I gather my images together and for the most part I tend to use Pinterest and patience on finding the right ones to use. Often times pinterest doesnt have the original source which can be frustrating but there is a great tool that google has. When you go to google.com and choose images there is a little camera icon. Click on this icon and then upload the image you are trying to find. It will list out links to where this image has also been on the internet. So cool and very helpful if you are a stickler like me on sourcing.

I had to do this on both of these images above but was happy I did because I really loved the collection of images from the right one. It includes a beautiful fairy themed wedding. The costumes are to die for! Check them out HERE>>

  10. THANK YOU for the tip on sourcing images through Google! It seems TinEye hangs on me 9 out of 10 times and I get nowhere. So my pinning comes to a halt, and that makes me sad. I love pretty images. I love your pretty images the best! :)

  13. Thank you for the tip on how to find image sources. I have a million images in my inspiration folder that I would love to show on my blog but feel reluctant to do so because I don't know the sources. Will give it a go.

    Have a great weekend and thanks for providing us with such wonderful inspiration this week.

  14. i've also discovered google image search! i got so excited that i posted about it, too - it's a great tool, and it works much better than tineye, as jessica says. it seems like there's a bit more focus on linking back to the original source these days, i hope it'll continue. just linking back to pinterest.com doesn't help... it's great that you write about this!

  21. nice setting. Real beauty is defined. In fact I would say that this can be more precious than any garden setting.
