This magical oasis became my best childhood memories and the foundati[...]

Millennial grey… that’s the name our generation gets for it’s design style. Personally, I’m offended. The rise of the grey home has gone too far and I like to call it the prison cell we’re all now stuck with…or we were. After growing up in the 80’s and 90’s (for me it was all 90’s) Millennials were sick of the beige walls that most homes were coated in or the Tuscan dedicated home decor that tre[...]
People are afraid of art. I’m not really sure why, maybe because history class taught you that art is fragile and expensive or something like that. And Yes, while that can be true, artwork was also meant to be seen and loved. I love hanging art in a home (I’m an artist, this makes sense) but I also love giving people permission to break the rules and showcase art in new ways. While some art is an investment piec[...]
