Happy Voting Week/Election Day Lovecats! Oh what a magical and insane time it is to be alive in this world! I hadn’t meant for this to be a political post, since I actually finished this painting a few weeks ago, but man is it fitting! However, I’m going to skip the political rhetoric and hope …
As many of you know, I’ve been writing and sharing pretty consistently at Substack since February 1st of this year… After about a year and a half of wondering what was next, waiting for my next BIG IDEA and coming up short, I set a goal for myself to write every day at Substack, which …
A few months ago… way back in summer, I had the urge to paint my drippy watercolor flowers that I had previously only done on paper, on a much larger scale and on a canvas. My first thought was to buy a pre-stretched canvas, but they are always so expensive and never in the larger …
What began as a simple click through from an art gallery email quickly turned into a deep dive down a rabbit hole of gorgeous interiors styled with incredible photography. Originally I thought I’d share the art I was drooling over – since my art gallery days, art features have been a regular thing here – …
Though I haven’t quite finished decorating my project room and still want to add a little fun exterior styling once the weather warms up, now that the bathroom is finished, I feel like my office renovation is complete! I’m so grateful I had Chad to help me with this entire makeover because it would have …
We finished my office bathroom a few weeks ago but I have yet to put the finishing touches on it because I just wasn’t quite ready… my vision wasn’t complete, but I’m closer now 🙂 Since I’m renting and paying for all the upgrades, I didn’t go all out on the bathroom but instead used …
I spotted these incredibly awe-inspiring spaces on Instagram and immediately wanted to move in! Upon doing a little more research I found that rather than actual living quarters, these images are works of art by New York Times senior designer, 3D animation and illustration artist, Joe Mortell and I just had to share! In a …
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a small, or maybe not so small obsession with the new Netflix show, Bridgerton… and I am to bet that you might be in the midst of the same obsession at the moment because well, we’re still locked down with nowhere to go and nothing to …
If you’ve been watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix then you most certainly want to play chess or learn how to play chess or maybe even just look at a pretty chess set sitting as decor in your home or office… or is it just me? I’m watching the show for the second time now …
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
Lovecats! It’s a crazy time… How are you holding up? I hope you and your families are healthy and safe at home and even though this quarantine is probably making us all a little (or a LOT) stir crazy, at least we are protecting ourselves and our communities by staying home and staying well. It …
Hey Lovecats! It’s so funny… or maybe not really at all, but as soon as I make some blanket statement about something, I tend to do the exact opposite and I have no idea why. I know this about myself and often will refrain from making such statements because of said fact. However, “they” say …
Way back in 2012 I received an email asking if I’d like to partner with Sseko, a socially responsible brand that employs woman in Uganda and teaches them the skills to make beautiful leather sandals and handbags (and so much more now!) which, in turn, gives them opportunities to go to college and better their …
Lovecats! I finished my painting and I LOVE IT! I had SO MUCH FUN painting this that I miss it now! It took me about two weeks to finish and was the thing I looked forward to the MOST every day. It’s one of those things you just can’t wait to finish but it’s bittersweet …
YOU GUYS. I’m CRUSHING HARD ON THIS! I don’t think I’ve been as excited about something like I am about this in a very long time! From the beginning of the year I’ve had an urge to paint, but I always found some excuse not to do it. And then at the beginning of February …
