My List of Favorite Frames

With art prints or originals from Modern Magic, you're going to want to frame them. Keeping them in a glass (no plastic) frame, out of direct sunlight and clear of any moisture will ensure that your piece lasts forever. With those key elements in place, it's all about finding a frame that works in your space and fits you need (which you can learn more about here.) So where do you even begin with frames? Here are a f[...]

Best Frames for Your Art: How to choose the right frame

Best Frames for Your Art: A Guide to Choosing the Right Frame

Choosing the perfect frame for your original artwork or art prints can greatly enhance its visual impact and the feel of your space. The right frame not only complements your artwork but also protects it from environmental factors–the sun, dust, and water–all of which can decrease the value and/or lifespan of your artwork. Therefore, choosing a frame isn't just a necessity to to add to the aesthetic of your spac[...]

The girl who chased the moon print

Behind the Painting: The Girl Who Chased the Moon

What are the moments throughout the day, week, or years that take your breath away? The moments that make you stop and think, I’m so happy to be alive? It could be the time you won a million dollars, that would surely cause you to lose your breath, but most likely the moments were small, simple. Moments like watching your puppy chase a butterfly, or hearing your child say your name for the first time. It could be[...]

How Homes have Changed over the last 100 years

History of Homes: What’s Changed in 100 Years

Ever feel like keeping up with the Joneses is more like keeping up with the Kardashians? Our decor doesn't feel right, our homes don't feel big enough, it just doesn't seem to be enough. After a recent conversation with my family about why our 2500 sq/ft home wasn't big enough for our extended family to come and hang out in. It got me wondering...Is our home not big enough? When we have kids that fills these ext[...]

Display More Art with This Layered Frame Hack

Space is precious. The space that you leave in your day to go for a walk or meditate. The space you take up when speaking your mind and honoring yourself. And the space that you live in and the objects that occupy it. All avenues of space are precious because they’re limited and therefore what fills them (or doesn’t) needs to be intentional. The same is true for art on our walls and yet I still believe you can n[...]

2023 Design Trends: The Year of the Divine Feminine

I thought it was just me craving more simplicity, more slow, more quality and less quantity. When I started my journey of slow living, I knew that I was on a level of burnout I hadn’t been before and thought, this will help me heal. Maybe it will even help my find happiness again. It did. But it did so much more for me. I realized that it wasn’t just slow living I was looking for, it was the divine feminine�[...]

Creating a cozy place in your home

Creating a Cozy Corner in your Home

I’ve alway had an eye for design. Even at 3 when I wore every piece of jewelry I owned, I had a vision for things. But design isn’t everything when it comes to creating a slow home. Yes, having a beautiful place that welcomes you in, is nice, but I’m more concerned about having a place that supports the way you live and then is designed well. (What can I say, I like pretty things). Function over fashion has[...]

Three Sisters Table Setting

The Art of the Holiday Table

The only mid-west fall I’ve seen was when I was 6-years old in Michigan and it was the tale end of it. We were spending Thanksgiving with my Aunt and uncle and their backyard felt like a magical land. Having come from the rocky mountains I was only used to aspen leaves but finding chestnuts and oak leaves made the season feel like a new world entirely. I remember going outside to collect as many fall things as[...]
