Enchanted guest #14....say hi to Debby from Inspired Design!

Good morning, the red carpet of fabulous bloggers just keeps on coming! Today I have my buddy, Debby from Inspired Design here to present a lovely post, a take on my "Which would you choose" and its a keeper! Debby is the talented tour de force behind her super fashionable and chic blog, Inspired Design. I love the way she so effortlessly combines the worlds of fashion, home decor and thought provoking messages.

I always stop to think about what she has written all the while enjoying the magnificent images she posts, she truly has a fabulous formula down!  She runs a regular series entitlted "That inspired girl" which is not to be missed! Debby lives in the Boston area and is one talented lady,  besides begin a blogger extraordinaire and stylist she also does beautiful graphic design.

She has many a fabulous blog design under her belt, so if you are need of a blog or website makeover, you should contact Debby. On top of all that talent, Debby is an incredibly nice person, whom I consider a friend. For those of you not familiar with Inspired Design you must stop over for a visit! She is one of my very first stops every morning and a visit to blogland would not be complete without seeing whats happening over at Inspired Design.  Click here to see what all the fuss is about. Debby, many thanks for stopping in!


Before Debby takes the floor, I wanted to share with you some gorgeous blogs that Debby has designed...talk about talented! I definitely know who to call when my blog is in need of a little "facelift"!
First her own beautiful blog header and other chic blogs she has designed......








Hello Everyone! It's Debby from Inspired Design. I'm thrilled to be guest posting for the very sweet Tina while she's in the middle of her big move. Isn't her new home a complete dream? 
I love Tina's series: Which Would You Choose? So, that is exactly what I've decided to do!
I have to admit that I get a little stressed choosing sometimes because she always provides so much eye candy to go along with each post in the series. 
So, with that said... Which alfresco setting would you choose to dine with loved ones?

Choice #1


Choice #2


Choice #3


Choice #4


Choice #5


Choice #6


Choice #7

Thanks so much for having me visit, Tina!! It's been a pleasure -Debby xoxo


Debby, now I know how all my readers feel.....you did not make this easy. But after furiously scrolling up and down several times, I have come up with my final answer! I have to go with choice 7, the all white setting and that ridiculous fantasy like view sent me over the edge......does it get better than that? I cannot imagine where or how! Thanks again Debby and to all of you for stopping by, click here to visit Inspired Design! Hope you have an enchanted day.

  4. Nice to meet another new blogger, her sites that shes designed all look so elegant. This was tough but pressed I would go for 3, it is so charming and relaxed feeling.
    Tina, hope you are going to be able to post some update pictures soon, and hope you are feeling much better.

  8. If I was with friends choice 5, looks like its in a gazebo which I love, and if I was with my husband choice 7, its so romantic.

  9. Wonderful post and eye candy!! I am going with #3. The stone cottage...a leisure brunch....That is my cup of tea!!! Thank you both and have a great day!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Like Tina, you don't make it easy! #1, the proper English tea is my vision of heaven, but.....there is choice 7 which reminds me of the grand Hudson RIver on whose banks I lived near for so many of my early years.....have to go with it.

    ReplyDelete
  11. #5 for me...it looks like such a little secret place where girlfriends can giggle and share, while they indulge in champagne and truffles!

    ReplyDelete
  12. It's choice No. 3 for me. The old stone wall did it. Looks like it could be in Italy.
    Debby, love your selection of outdoor spaces. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful blog posts.

  13. #7 really takes my breath away. Absolutely gorgeous - although each of them have elements that I love!

  18. Tina,

    You are right the red carpet of beautiful blogs does indeed keep coming to keep us occupied. What a great post, I love the first photo!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Back again, I see part of my comment did not make it.

    Debby's post was inspirational as is her blog, did not know that she was a blog designer! I must check that out.

    I hope dear Tina that you are well and ready for the second load of your stuff. I am sure that the place is looking fabulous! I hope you are feeling better.

    Take care, Elizabeth

  20. SOOOO hard. Love #7 -- looking at any body of water is bliss to me. However, there's something about #6 that reminds me of the farmhouse that Sarah Richardson did on Sarah's House. And that house? I totally covet! So #6 for me, please!

    All the best with the move, Tina! Hope it's going well.

    ReplyDelete
  21. #3 for me! Can I have the little stone cottage beside it also?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow.......all so pretty. I think I will have to go with number 5. Already set up for a lovely ladies luncheon. I love the lavender. But #3 is such a close second for me. I would love to sit in that garden area and sip some iced tea.
    Thanks for the post.
    We're thinking of you Tina.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm going with #3. And, I love your blog Inspired Design. I am now subscribed! Love love love it!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Debbie, this is a hard decision, they are all so pretty, but ok number 5 it is!!
    Tina, best luck with your move, may your new home host the most beautiful memories of your life!

  25. Definitely #7 for me. I love an expansive view that goes on forever, and God only knows the incredible sunsets and moonsets you could witness - dreamy!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hey Tina, love discovering new stylish blogs. I love her choices, but am having a heck of a time coming up with just one. So, I vote for 3 with a few of my girl friends and 7 for a romantic dinner with my husband, would love to know where that is, the view takes my breath away. Will visit Debby now. Hope you both have a wonderful day.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Love them all Debby and thank you Tina for featuring such a talented blog friend!!

    I pick #6 because it is like having and extra room to have a covered terrace to enjoy and entertain!@

  29. #7 for me!! Anywhere that has a water view will always be my choice. Loved the setting on the beach, but living near San Francisco it can be pretty cool, weather wise over there so I chose the setting on the terrace over looking the water, Fun post Debby! xo Kathysue

    ReplyDelete
  30. Absolutely love Debby's blog. She is very kind and I admire her honestly and romantic spirit. It's # 7 for me! Hope your move is going well Tina and I look forward to seeing how you plan to decorate your new home! Enjoy your day.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would say #7, but I'm afraid I would not be paying much attention to anyone else! lol For that matter number #2 is magical, love all the brush & lanterns!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Tina any friend of yours is a friend of mine! Loved these beautiful outdoor settings and would be happy truly in any one of them, each is as pretty as the next.
    Hope the unpacking is going well and that you are taking frequent breaks and long soaks in that gorgeous tub at the end of the day:-)

    ReplyDelete
  33. oh my goodness? How can anyone choose here?!! How about brunch in 5, a sunset dinner at #4 and cocktails back at #2... Thank you ladies, for reminding me of what is ahead in the next few months... snow is magical but I'm beginning to miss the garden. x

  34. I love choice 6. We are lucky to have these often in Curacao, large wooden table, beautiful china, family and loads of laughs.

  40. Everything you said about Debby is absolutely TRUE!
    She's a doll!
    And of course I would choose #4, after all it's right in my backyard!!!

  41. I love all these styles! Each of them has their own mood setting. I just started doing some home decor, so these give me some good ideas. Also, if anyone is interested I stumbled on a site called worldtohome. They sell a bunch of home decor stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'd choose 3, 6, & 7! Great options!

  44. #6 since I like the patio overhang...in case it rains unexpectedly.

  45. Seven is just perfect. It is al fresco and has a fabulous water view. Sold!
    Best...Victoria

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's a tough call between #3 and #7! #3 makes me think of Provence, but the view in #7! And all the wine glasses too, looks for a fun night ;)

    I love #4, but I know how chilly it would be out there!

    ReplyDelete
  47. #1, with #3 and #7 a close second and third!

    ReplyDelete
  48. What fabulous pics! I can't choose!
    Lorraine

    ReplyDelete
  49. It doesn't get any better than Debbie guest posting for Tina! You two are both such inspiring ladies!!!

    Ok...to my choice(s). Although 7 just takes my breath away and is probably my final answer, I just adore #2 b/c I have a thing for lanterns hanging in trees AND #4 because I used to live in San Fran and I know that exact spot. And love that someone either had a real dinner there or thought to style it for one.

    Wishing I was sitting al fresco today....but alas, it's January in the Northeast, so I'll just dream of being in one of these fabulous locales.

    Hugs to both of you!

  50. Number 3 is the winner! I love everything about this picture-the house,patio,

    garden and table just say 'Welcome for diner.' Guest would probably want to

    linger in this spot all evening–could be a bad or a good thing. Thank you for

    the inspiration and hope of the Spring to come.

    xoxo, Lissy Parker

  51. Hands down, #7..what a romantic setting...would never want to leave that spot!..What a beautiful vista.

  52. Who wouldnt choice by the water!

  53. Number 7 all the way. I can imagine sitting out there in the evening with candles all a glow enjoying the sunset on the water.Great job Debby!

  62. Debbie has a beautiful blog header! #2 due to the lamps hanging on the tree and # 7 due to the view. I couldn't pick just one sorry ;)

  63. I would choose #3! I love the stone house in the background and can imagine spending some time there in a very different place than what I am used to!
