THE WEEK

This week’s inspiration in pictures:

All the images are taken by chasemagazine.com. Some of the interior pictures are taken at Home & Cottage and at Baker Hansen, Oslo.

Inspiration

 

Other than reading a lot of blogs, I buy a lot of magazines for inspiration. I bought this stack last month, and it made my room look so pretty. I love being inspired by layout, pictures and magazines, and look for ideas on how to one day make my own.

Goals

The thought of someone reading this is quite frightening. It’s a big thing – this website and this carefully selected domain name. Strongly believing that things come to you if you work hard enough, I want this to be my mountain ready to be climbed. Chase Magazine. With this, I want to seek for the inspirational people, places and photos. Quite frankly, my goal is simple: I want to show the people and places of inspiration to you – the readers. With this, I will explore life’s inspirations: people, places and photos. Bare with me – I’m a perfectionist – and the road to greatness in this website might take a while. But I promise it will be very worth it.

It’s not hard to find something of inspiration. People who’ve worked their way from scratch, chasing their dreams and reaching their goals, taking advantage of beautiful late summer nights watching the sun set, or those who write simple words with mighty meanings.

Below are a few of those. The top quote says: “Reward yourself when you’ve reached your goals”. Simple. The middle quote shows the true beauty of life, the next one inspiring to travel and exploration – and the last image shows what I hope to do, one day, with this website – publish it as a magazine. Simple.
