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......
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

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.
Thanks so much for having me, Tina. The fond feelings are mutual!! I would have lunch in any of these settings if you were to join me!! xo
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite bloggers all in one place? FABULOUS. Oh Debby, you really know how to put on the show with feel-good images and kindness. AND TINA DEAR, you are packing away, moving, lifting, organizing....we are here for you dearest! THANK YOU, you two! Anita
ReplyDeleteDi we have to make a choice ? can we just close our eyes and escape to these beautiful spots...If i must, i would spend an evening at #2...or #7, it's a tie.
ReplyDeleteNice 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.
ReplyDeleteTina, hope you are going to be able to post some update pictures soon, and hope you are feeling much better.
Good morning, for me this was easy choice 7. What a beautiful setting and that view is just amazing. Happy to meet you Debby will visit you at your blog.
ReplyDeleteHope you both have a great day.

ReplyDeleteGreat post Debbie! I love your blog and am happy to see you here! I have to go with number 7 as well. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteStacy
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.
ReplyDeleteWonderful 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!!
ReplyDeleteLike 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#5 for me...it looks like such a little secret place where girlfriends can giggle and share, while they indulge in champagne and truffles!
ReplyDeleteIt's choice No. 3 for me. The old stone wall did it. Looks like it could be in Italy.
ReplyDeleteDebby, love your selection of outdoor spaces. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful blog posts.
#7 really takes my breath away. Absolutely gorgeous - although each of them have elements that I love!
ReplyDelete-Shelley
I just recently found Debby's blog...oh my goodness! I'd choose #7, too!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I just started to really follow you this past week....actually just spent half a day going back to all of your older posts!!! You have wonderful photos and love to read what you wrote as well...you and Tina - you two are the ones I start the day with!! Oh and I love #5 for fun with the girls - rain or shine, but #7 is my second - with my husband!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so brilliant , Debbie I would choose #1 for afternoon tea :) ... and #2 for dinner .. I know we can only choose one but again they are all so beautiful!!! Tina your blog is gorgeous ... can't wait to discover more ... happy Thursday ladies ..xo HHL
ReplyDeleteAhhh #2, #4, and #7 are all amazing!!!

Tina,
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
Back again, I see part of my comment did not make it.
ReplyDeleteDebby'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
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!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the move, Tina! Hope it's going well.
#3 for me! Can I have the little stone cottage beside it also?
ReplyDeleteWow.......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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
We're thinking of you Tina.
I'm going with #3. And, I love your blog Inspired Design. I am now subscribed! Love love love it!
ReplyDelete#2!!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, this is a hard decision, they are all so pretty, but ok number 5 it is!!
ReplyDeleteTina, best luck with your move, may your new home host the most beautiful memories of your life!

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!
ReplyDeleteHey 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.
ReplyDeleteLove them all Debby and thank you Tina for featuring such a talented blog friend!!
ReplyDeleteI pick #6 because it is like having and extra room to have a covered terrace to enjoy and entertain!@

Such a hard decision, but I will go with choice #3...the little stone cottage had me! Debbie, I am so glad to be introduced to your blog and look forward to checking it out!
ReplyDeleteTina, good luck with your unpacking and I can't wait to see and here about your settling in your beautiful new home!

#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
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteTina 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.
ReplyDeleteHope 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:-)
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
ReplyDeleteI love choice 6. We are lucky to have these often in Curacao, large wooden table, beautiful china, family and loads of laughs.

Great post! I'm kind of in love with #5 since it's always been my dream to have an indoor/outdoor space. Nice to "meet" you!
ReplyDeleteAmy
def #7!
ReplyDeletethanks for an inspiring mix of tranquil images!
michele
#7. I think Debbie is a beautiful person, inside & out!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo hard- I think I'll go 1,2 or 3:)
ReplyDeleteI am torn between 1 and 7. Love them both! All of these rooms are gorgeous, Debby! As always, you choose the most gorgeous images.
ReplyDeleteTina-
Hope that all is going well and that you are pacing yourself!
Teresa

Everything you said about Debby is absolutely TRUE!
ReplyDeleteShe's a doll!
And of course I would choose #4, after all it's right in my backyard!!!
Hope everything is going off without a hitch this week!!

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.
ReplyDeleteI'd choose 3, 6, & 7! Great options!

I love no 7...long sigh of utter pleasure!
ReplyDeleteHugs and love Debbie's blog and following he now

#6 since I like the patio overhang...in case it rains unexpectedly.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Seven is just perfect. It is al fresco and has a fabulous water view. Sold!
ReplyDeleteBest...Victoria
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 ;)
ReplyDeleteI love #4, but I know how chilly it would be out there!
#1, with #3 and #7 a close second and third!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous pics! I can't choose!
ReplyDeleteLorraine
It doesn't get any better than Debbie guest posting for Tina! You two are both such inspiring ladies!!!
ReplyDeleteOk...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!
xoxo Elizabeth
Number 3 is the winner! I love everything about this picture-the house,patio,
ReplyDeletegarden 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
Hands down, #7..what a romantic setting...would never want to leave that spot!..What a beautiful vista.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldnt choice by the water!
ReplyDeleteNumber 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!
ReplyDeleteXX
Debra~
It's number three for me. I'm in love with this romantic design aesthetic. Great job Debby.XO, Mona
ReplyDelete#7 is looking pretty good to me also :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a beautiful post Debbie......I will be thinking about that gorgeous scene all night!
Lovely post Debbie ! l'm drawn to # 7 as well. that view is just dreamy
ReplyDeleteIt's either 2 or 7! I love candlelight but I also love the water! And I was so excited to see my GORGEOUS blog design here! Debby did such an amazing job, everytime I go to my own blog I swoon!! She's amazing!

I would have to say 3 is it for me. Any of these would be great with friends. Dinner a glass of wine, how fun would that be...
DeleteOooh very hard choice! I'd go with 3 or 7. You can't go wrong with any though! Can't wait for the weather to warm up :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI would pick #7, that's quite a romantic view!
ReplyDeleteHi Debby & Tina!! Great post, Debby! No. 7 is hands-down my pick. That view! I can almost feel the breeze!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Keri
hi. I was just reading your guest post fromProvidence and now it is completely gone(??) LOVE Mona & Sister, their work is incredibly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDebbie 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteChoice 7
