DIY Large Abstract Canvas

  Well guys, I said I would, and I did!Last week I discussed how my beloved gold perfume prints felt out of scale above my couch. I either needed to add a third one, or do something large and abstract. I decided to go large and abstract, and I had so much fun painting this huge canvas (2'x4'). I didn't do any planning, just kind of put brush to canvas and let myself go.If you're planning on

Watercolor Wednesday: Pretty Living Room

 Today's painting is inspired by one of my favourite living room pictures. I fell in love with Alex from Things that Sparkle's living room when it was featured on The Everygirl a while back. It's so pretty! I love the balance and height that the pink candles and branches add & my favourite detail has got to be that pink ostrich feather pillow!Hope you are all enjoying your week!xo

Watercolor Wednesday's: Bookshelf Style

Last night I took a few quick minutes to paint this week's watercolor, inspired by my absolute fave room feature in my Design*Sponge at Home coffee table book. Michelle Adams's entire apartment stole my heart, and I especially loved the way that she styled her bookshelf!

It looks so much smoother now that it is glued down.I wanted to create a

Evolution of a Drawing

I must apologize for neglecting this blog all week. Quite simply I've been busy and uninspired.Quality over quantity sometimes, you know? But today I'm back with an inside look at the evolution of a drawing to create this finished result: This is the reception for Tiffany & Co. head office that I designed for my term 3 rendering class. You can see that the paper is a bit crinkled, but once I

Term 2 Final Project: Condo Design

In case you're wondering where I've been the past couple of day, the answer is holed up in my room crafting away. I've never crafted so hard, I actually woke up stiff today....who knew that was even possible?!But finally, 8 presentation boards, a small fortune and over 100 hours of work later, I am done my term two final project! I'm thrilled to be able to share the final product with all of you

Rendering Wednesdays: Powder Room

Remember when I used to post a doodle every Wednesday? I miss that. So I thought today I would share a rendering that I did for my final condo project (which I hope you guys are not sick of hearing about yet because it's consuming my life at the moment therefore all I really have to talk about!).Last week I shared the wallpaper I have chosen for the powder room with you. I loved the little
