I always love to check out new homes that are going up in the areas around me. I currently live in farm country and there's not much here, but taking a trip to the city or checking out new homes when I’m on vacation is always a great way to inspire me to design something new, change my style or just plain and simple remind me of why I love interior design.

I went on a search today to find some ideas about how I could dispose of a vacuum. I really thought maybe I would just throw it into the dumpster and call it good, but after reading this great article on the Good Human about vacuum disposal I have decided to donate my vacuum. You see great designers all have something in common. We care about what happens to the items we use in our home after we are done using them.
