I'm excited to bring you another She Inspires feature! Today's feature is such an inspiration, she is a fabulous local gal that is not only talented, but also beautiful and stylish. Maureen Stevens is the woman behind The Inglenook Decor and blog Inspired MStevens. Thanks for stopping by Maureen!
What one thing inspires you on a daily?
Ahhh,
there are so many things. But I would have to say, it's the tedious
task of making the bed with my husband in the morning. It has become a
daily ritual and sort of a bonding moment. I always moan and groan about
this and sarcastically lets him now that I tuck in my side better than
his side but really and truly, it does start my day right!
How did you start your business and blog?
With planning and a leap of faith. It's been ten years ago since I
started to yearn to do something creative. I then set the wheels into
motion & tried to be as financially stable as I can at that time. A
little more than two years ago, I finally took the leap. It's still not
where I want to be business-wise but I know I am where I want and need
to be.
What's your Design Style?
Urban
Cottage - Modern Vintage. I'm a sucker for intricate romantic pieces to
rustic French Country to modern bold hues with a touch of Rococo. I'm
not a minimalist at all although I definitely appreciate it.
What words of inspiration do you have for other aspiring business women?
Make
every step of your journey meaningful and blissful. I used to be
disappointed when my goals are not achieved the way I envisioned them or
it seems to take forever. You'll make mistakes and make backward steps
at times but you are learning along the way, building new relationships
and knowing more about yourself so savor the moments. Just taking that
leap and going for what you want and being true to yourself is success
in itself.
What three things do you have to have in your bag/purse?
Frost
mints in wintergreen, my Lodis cardholder with my business cards of
course, Philosophy Spring eternal mist for my always thirsty skin.
What's one thing you can't live without?
LOVE --- is all you need according to the Beatles song :) That and my morning cafe au lait.
