Seriously.
I realized I should probably show you guys a better quality pic of my print from the last post, so here it is:
It’s pretty sentimental as it’s a photo I took while out on a really fun date with my bf. The saying is something we say to each other all the time and I had it framed and gave it to him as a Christmas gift. Major girlfriend points. If you’re wanting a copy...

dresser display
Hey ya’ll, time for me to post this little styling project from last week. Having moved to a new place for a few months, I’m having fun playing, accessorizing and styling throughout the space. Let’s be honest, I’m on a budget but there’s no reason why my space can’t be beautiful broke-chic. (I just coined that phrase but I think I really like it, must remember to use it...

memories in the making
One of my resolutions this year was to start keeping a journal again. Not since the days of elementary school have I kept a consistent record of my day-to-day activities. (Which by the way, were mostly lists of the all boys I had crushes on, I really need to dig out those old diaries for a laugh). Nowadays, there’s just one boy, which simplifies those matters, but I’m also much busier...

new artist crush - xochi solis
So inspired by the work of Austin artist, Xochi Solis. I am having serious eye-twiching envy of her collage/paintings and her colour palettes! These are so right up my alley…
See more of her ridiculously lovely work for yourself over at her website!

A Simple Gift
One of my besties is having her birthday party tomorrow and so gift giving was on my mind. She’s always saying her place is too neutral, so what better way to inject some colour than a pretty vase and flowers? I never understood people who said they didn’t like flowers as a present, they bring so much colour and life to a room…and this simple bouquet is so easy to throw...

not your mother's tablecloth
Oooohh, this is rad. Polish artist NeSpoon combines the delicacy of lace with the grittiness of urban decay and street art to create some stunning works of art.
I love this idea, and the Polish crafty girl in me really resonates with the lovely, large-scale patterns. Such a unique, beautiful (and dare I say feminine?) twist on...

fresh paint
If one receives a Christmas present in February, does it still count? I think so. My sister and brother-in-law have had this painting coming for a long time, I’m hoping it will finally be in their possession soon!
The colours are a bit more subtle in reality, not quite so neon, but still bright pinks + oranges + blues + whites = awesome
I think...
well that's cute
cute + casual + comfortable + colourful - just in time for Valentine’s Day

Cy Twombly
Cy Twombly - Untitled (Scenes from an Ideal Marriage) - 1986
A gorgeous, lush, swirl of colour. This little jewel of a piece can be yours for the sweet price of only $2,500,000! Ok, maybe in my next lifetime, luckily I can break out my own brushes and use it as wonderful inspiration for a work of my own.

Back to Basics - Atelier AM
After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the idea of stripping everything back to basics could not be more appealing…These soothing interiors by Atelier AM are the epitome of relaxed simplicity
A lovely mix of elegance, tradition, neutral and rustic throughout. For my everyday living preference, I would definitely inject some more colour with rugs,...

It was such a festive and cozy holiday season, and now I’m really looking forward to this new year of making many more wonderful memories!

Line on Wax
But seriously. Give me these encaustic works by artist Gina Adams right now. I love the encaustic process (painting using a mixture of oils and waxes, including beeswax, which smells divine!). These two pieces really stand out for their simplicity and lovely, handcrafted pattern-making feel.

Wall to Wall
Having fun playing around with a little gallery wall in the bedroom today. The numbered pieces are my own, the others collected from here and there. (and everywhere) I like the casual feel of this hang, with my Fridas propped up and the paper works taped up with washi tape. I always feel so free to add, subtract and change anytime
Here’s a closer look at one of my paintings:

First snowfall of winter last night = cozying up by the fire with style today. Bonus items: a bottle of wine, a rustic pair of antlers, tastefully curated artwork, a stack of firewood, flickering candlelight and someone to cuddle :)

Art Makes The Room
Here’s a beautiful space that is interesting but doesn’t feel overworked or over-thought. The putty coloured walls are a nice, neutral backdrop for the amazing art which is the star of the show. I love the variety of styles of art and the engaging placement which leads the eye around the room.
The two chairs flanking the fireplace look super comfortable but are also unique,...

A Gourd Afternoon
Did ya’ll see what I did there? :) Haha, it was a great afternoon actually, perfect weather for a pumpkin patch photoshoot. Cute animals, toddlers and gourds were everywhere and looked lovely in the filtered autumn afternoon sunlight.
Such a nice fall tradition, this annual visit to the pumpkin patch. I highly recommend finding one near you and taking some cute photos while...
