Artist Alert

I stumbled across this illustrator about a week ago, and I just love her. Her name is Sarah Mensinga and here is her blog.
She’s got a touch of Chris Sanders in her art that I really like. Plus, mermaids are always great.

Springy

Don’t you just love all the colors that springtime brings? Pinks and blues and greens galore. I found this photo of a beautiful, colorful living room on Pinterest today, and just love how bright and happy it is!

It’s super easy to make a space brighter and more springy [new word] by starting with a neutral base like in the photo. Natural colors for large furniture and the walls allow you to go crazy with pops of color everywhere else. Also, adding in white pieces, like frames and accessories, let you fill up every bit of space without seeming too crowded. Definitely use various textures, patterns and fabrics, and as far as I’m concerned, gold and silver should definitely be in the mix. I LOVE that mirrored table, too. Sigh… so pretty.
