Ideas for your Weekend: Go Outside

Take some time this weekend to enjoy this beautiful gift that God has given us.

I find so much inspiration from creation... our God is so creative, the ultimate Creator.

My favorite picture is the last one... the Florida landscape is so romantic... kind of dark and mysterious.

What is your favorite place to get inspiration from? Where can you just turn your mind off and truly relax? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Have a great weekend!

Font Love: Landsdowne

I love this one! I actually try to write like this sometimes... I love how tall it reaches and it's dainty little details. Look at the beautiful curve of the 'J' and the 'P.'

Is it strange that I notice these things? ha.

You can download Landsdowne for free here.

Inspiration to Creation: Boys Stationary

Inside Look: Logo Design

Logo design and I have a very strong love/hate relationship.

I love when the final product is indeed final and perfect and both the client and artist are more than satisfied with the end result.

I hate the process of getting to that point. ah.

Sometimes I feel as though my brain just is not working and making myself be creative in between being a mommy to an infant and an almost three year old is quite the challenge...

Oh well. I am sure I am not alone in this.

So, with all that being said here is an 'Inside Look' at an identity system I am currently working on. I spent the morning sketching the fun drawings in the last image... now that was fun. Really. There is something really wonderful about having tracing paper and a perfect extra fine Pilot pen in hand.

Enjoy.

Round 1 - Getting a feel for the style and look the client is looking for.

Round 2 - Sketching, sketching, more sketching. My hand hurts.

Favorite Finds - Vintage Tin

I was searching for fun artwork that could go outside on our little patio and stumbled upon these amazing finds!


You can find these vintage ceiling tin art from Cottage in the Sun. This one of a kind shop offers 'handmade heart, star & cross wall art from salvaged antique and vintage 1800s to 1900s tin ceiling tiles.'

Love it. (I wouldn't mind having one in every color. :))

And the winner is...

My sweet husband drew the winner for the give away and he drew Heather's name!

Congratulations Heather!

I am thinking this new bride would love a set of thank you notes or monogrammed stationary...

...

And now I need your help!

Hypothetically, if you were going to choose between these two options of flooring which would you pick? The lighter is Cameroon Acacia and the darker is Everglades Mahogany.

OK. I need your opinion asap. THANKS!

Have a happy Saturday!

Ideas for Your Weekend: SPRING.

Spring is here (but in Florida it already feels like summer.)

So the project for your weekend? Springify. ha.

I went to Lowes (thanks to a gift card) and Target (super cute mini silver planters for $1.00) for all my supplies.

I planted new flowers by our front entry way and on our back patio too. I even added new plants in the house. I LOVE live greenery in a home.

(1 - New spring wreath 2 - Newly painted plant stand and plants 3 - Back patio bistro table 4 - New little plants on the patio bistro table)

The back patio jungle.

Inside - I added this 'snake plant'. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, but in the end I love it.

And a new centerpiece on my coffee table.

What 'springy' project are you going to do at your house this weekend?
