Inspired by: Creativity at Work

"Creativity at Work" by Heather Clawson is an amazingly inspiring book, showing all kinds of creatives where they work. Interspersed with great words of wisdom, there is some serious eye candy in these pages! Jenna Lyons' and Jenni Kayne's spaces are a few of the standouts for us. Heather Clawson, of the blog Habitually Chic has done a perfect job of opening the office doors of some of the most creative people who have followed their bliss.
