As an artist, I often make things for her....but then again, it is just more "stuff". Sometimes I get her gift cards for Read more [...]

Vote for my Master Bedroom Design in the Edesign Contest

I recently entered an Edesign for this global style master bedroom in a contest! We were given room dimensions and a photo, and could develop any design we wanted. I had recently seen Benjamin Moore’s new 2020 color of the year, First Light, and was not really a fan, as I am not fond of “pink or blush” for wall colors.

Antiques mix with modern pieces, and natural objects such as animal horns, plants and rocks add to the Read more […]
