How amazing is this? Would you guess that it's as simple as ink in water? SO beautiful.

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone :)

Office Chic with Cameo PR

I was taking a gander over at The Glitter Gide when I was reading this article about the amazing office of Malorie Kaye of Cameo PR. Its so glamorous and I love her use of color. My favorite would be the way that she used accessories as decor and art throughout the room. 

“Since childhood, I’ve justified investing in accessories by explaining that fashion is art. Nothing proves this more true than these hot pink, petal-adorned Louboutin heels and a hand-painted, one-of-a-kind clutch from LaLucca! They’re just as fabulous as décor as they are completing my outfits.”

Etsy Favorite: The Wheatfield

Life has been crazy busy lately. I started new hours at work so I have no time to do anything fun. I'm finally able to use Alv's computer so I thought I would work on some posts while I have the time. I haven't shared with you some of my Etsy favorites in a long time. I can always count on Etsy to inspire me. I love looking at the lovely designs of Katie Daisy over at her shop The Wheatfield. They're so adorable and rustic - perfect for decorating the cabin up north.

You know what else is cool about her? She designed the new design over at Under The Sycamore, a favorite blog of mine. Go check out her work!

For The Home: Spring Accessories

It's been pretty apparent I've been anxiously waiting for springs arrival. Yeah, it may be March but the ground is still covered with sloshy, messy snow. (The worst kind...) So in my eyes, it's still winter. I've had spring fever for a while when it comes to my closet, but I can't forget to give the house some attention! If I didn't live in my parent's cold basement, I would definitely purchase some of the above items to liven-up any room in the house. 

one these  Sissinghust Castle plates are almost too pretty to eat off of. Only $14-24.00 at Anthropologie
two take advice from some motivational wall art, $45
three this Carnaby Talitha vace is fun, whether empty of full of droopy tulips, $68
four I'm obsessed with these antique tins, $35
five this rug would be the perfect center piece of any room, $165.00
six Trade out your pillows for these fun rose pillows, $32.95

Pretty Prints

I love this print so much. It needs to find it's way to my bedroom wall, stat. 

Etsy Favorites: Chipmunk Cheeks

Am I the only one who finds themselves browsing through Etsy with tears in their eyes because you're filled with so much envy? There are so many unbelievably talented and creative people in this world. I have like.... 1/60th the creativity that some of these people have. I was browsing through the Paper Goods section of Etsy and happened across this shop called Chipmunk Cheeks. The owner is not only a designer but a florist and you can tell! My jaw was on the floor when I saw these pictures. That elephant? I would have that blown up and hanging in my bedroom in 3 seconds if I could. Keep up the fantastic and imaginative work, Katie!

Go check her out, seriously. Best of all? Most of her prints are only $20. Affordable and adorable, just how I like it. 

Art Studio Dreaming

I go through phases when it comes to painting. I might paint every day for two weeks straight and then I might not pick up a paint brush for an entire month. It's a trait of mine that I blame on my zodiac sign. I can never finish what I start! But, another contributing factor is that I don't have a great spot to create a mess. In college, I had to rely on my kitchen table. At home, I resort to my garage. Neither are all the exciting or inspiring. I feel like if I had a fabulous place to do my art that I would make something every day. If I had the opportunity to use any of the spaces above, I would never leave.

One day.... *sigh*

Crazy for Circles

Call me crazy but I love circles! It might be the designer in me but I'm always noticing shapes and patterns in every day things. I was browsing through Imgfave and noticed that I faved many images that had included circles, whether blatantly or subtly. Are any of you led by the right side of your brain more often than your left, like myself? What kind of things do you guys notice?

Etsy Favorites: inkylivie

This shop inspired me like no other. This woman has some serious, serious talent. It's shops like this that confirm that this is where I belong - making beautiful designs that take people's breath away. I mean, what? I would buy every single one of these, whether I was getting married or not. Just to stare at them.

Etsy Favorites: 1canoe2

The day that I found this shop on Etsy I immediately bought a Letterpress (a Quick Kutz ). I hope that some day I can create some designs as amazing as these ladies. They create some beautifully creative designs. Check out their shop here

This is great...and I'm from Minnesota

Etsy Favorites: unitedthread

I have a small obsession with Etsy. It's such a fantastic website letting us artists have a resource to reach out to a larger audience. There are so many amazing items that you can find on this website. Most of the time I'm just "window shopping" and I always, always find new shops that are immediately added to my favorites list.

The shop that I'm showing you today has some of the most breath-taking paintings I've ever laid eyes upon. Her color choices, the beautiful feeling the water color gives you, the inspiration she gets from nature, all of it makes my heart skip a beat. I want a house full of these paintings. Seeing them every day would surely put a smile on my face. Enjoy and admire her talent because I know I did. Her shop is here: unitedthread She was even featured on Etsy's spotlight here

Did you know this is a moth? What a beautiful moth.

you're joking? i die

amazing

Minimal Movie Posters pt 2

The other day I showed you guys some movie posters that I found on this Tumblr. I've been busy and unable to write some of my previously planned posts so I thought I would post some more of those designs in the mean time.

Not really the best design but this is one of my favorite episodes. DAY MAN AHAAAA
