Good Quotes: From Street Artist Banksy

Some might scoff at heeding the advice of a graffiti artist, but this quote by Banksy is quite relevant when applied to the design of our own homes. Find out how after the jump...

We always want our spaces to be top notch, but most often our best solutions to our design debacles come on a whim. That isn't to say it doesn't take work, just a mere reminder as we start out this new year to keep your stress level down and see where your impulses take you.
Forced design ends up looking like showrooms (not the fun kind) that no one really lives in; so listen to your gut reactions, even when it seems scary and see where it takes you!

love banksy's work and love this quote!! he hit alabama last year. fortunately i got to see it in the span of 24 hours that it stayed up until someone spray painted over it and was then purchased and removed. i still drive by that gas station and think about it.

here's a link to the piece.

Graffiti 'art' equals vandalism.
