Artist Studio Love

My studio is getting a wee bit tight these days.  With jewelry and letterpress jobs going on, I've got boxes upon boxes of supplies piling up.  Needless to say, it's getting hard to breathe in there.  When I saw this photo of a garage I thought it would make a perfect studio.  I love the abundance of glass and sliding garage doors.  A perfect place to spread out all of my projects.

Letterpress Project - Thank You Cards

I've been a bad, bad blogger.  But sometimes that happens, life gets in the way.  This week I started letterpressing a job for a friend.  To get back into the swing of things I started with the thank you cards.  I'm happy to say they turned out great - all 275 of them.  Whew!  Now onto the invitations, reply cards, and envelopes.

Decorating a Girl's Bedroom - DIY Style

One year ago my daughter's room resembled a poster store.  She plastered posters of all her favorite pop stars into a haphazard collage.  It was, let's say very entertaining.  She has since ripped everything down and now has a completely blank walls.  Every time I walk into her room it is a blank canvas waiting for work.  Nevertheless, we have very different styles and I'm not making any headway in the "let me decorate your room" department.  I can always dream, right.  All photos are from Houzz, a great inspirational resource for interiors.

Get Hitched in Turquoise & White

I am a big fan of turquoise.   So I decided to browse around and put together a Etsy treasury based on the color turquoise and white for a wedding.  There are so many talented artisans on the site it was hard to choose, but I picked things that would work well with a vintage theme wedding.  To view the entire treasury with links to all the artists shop, click here.

House of Glass & Concrete in Barcelona

all photos from the New York Times

My husband likes to tease me sometimes.   This morning he sent me a link to the New York Times with images of the above house.  No ordinary house, but a six story house of glass and concrete in Barcelona.  Like I said, he is a tease.  He knows I have a real weakness for homes that incorporate concrete into its design.  I think this place has everything I could want.  Lots of light, steel, bookshelves, terrace, and a yard.  To swoon over more pictures check out the full New York Times post here.
