Well… I said I was going to finish Dad’s chair by last Friday. And here we are. A week later. 😂 In my defense, I got into it and discovered I didn’t have any jute webbing for the base. Apparently chairs require actual structural support and not just creative determination and a staple gun. Who knew? So I ordered the webbing, waited for it to arrive, and once it showed up, I got back to work rebuilding the chair from the inside out. Tonight I finally gave it to Dad. ❤️ He was pretty happy when he saw it and immediately told me, “It’s too pretty to sit on.” Sir. That is literally why I rebuilt the chair. 😂 So naturally, I made him sit on it anyway. A week later than I planned? Yep. Did it matter in the end? Not one bit. Sometimes a project takes longer because you procrastinated. Sometimes because life gets in the way. And sometimes because you discover halfway through that you are missing an apparently rather important piece of chair anatomy. The deadline might have been mine, but this moment was the whole point. Chair finished. Dad happy. Project off my plate. Butt successfully in seat. ✅ I’m calling this one DONE.

I created this moodboard because I wanted to experiment with a color combination I don't see very often. Over the last decade, coral has typically been paired with navy, teal, sage green, turquoise, cream, or charcoal. Mustard yellow is more often found alongside gray, navy, olive green, rust, or black. But what happens when coral and mustard become the main characters? For me, this palette feels like sunshine with a vintage soul. It gives me Mid-Century Modern vibes, Palm Springs charm, retro boutique hotels, and those perfectly worn spaces that somehow feel both energetic and relaxing. As creatives, it's easy to stay inside the color combinations we already know work. Sometimes the magic happens when we step outside of them. So I'm curious... • What does this moodboard make you think of? • Do these colors work together for you? • What feeling do they create? • If you were creating art inspired by this palette, what would you make? Sometimes creativity starts with asking, "What if these two things belonged together?" Here's artwork that changes the "style vibe" of the mock up and adds cream but uses the colors from the moodboard. The possibilities are endless...what will you create?

Not only do I have a launch tomorrow but I was interviewed by Dionne Woods a few weeks ago and it is launching tomorrow as well. [Insert... wasn't planned but it happens happy dance] 💃 👣 I will have to do extra designs for you guys next week. You can listen on Apple or Spotify and watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/8xIXGY5blIU

Please show me what y’all have been up to! I used one of Kelly’s fabulous designs to make another mirror! Found the framed mirror on Marketplace. I love it! It goes so well with the other one I did and my pink fireplace! (Fireplace is not finished yet!)

Look at me posting early in the day LOL! (It's the little things sometimes! 🥳) Pretend you're standing in a sun-warmed Mediterranean courtyard. The stone has a story.The linen has texture.The figs are perfectly imperfect.The lemon refuses to be ignored. Now ask yourself: What are you drawn to first? - The color? - The texture? - The shape? - The contrast? Because that's usually the clue to what wants to show up in your next piece of art. Sometimes inspiration isn't a a picture. Sometimes it's a feeling wrapped in color, texture, and possibility. 👇 What grabs your attention first in this moodboard?
