Happy Voting Week/Election Day Lovecats! Oh what a magical and insane time it is to be alive in this world! I hadn’t meant for this to be a political post, since I actually finished this painting a few weeks ago, but man is it fitting! However, I’m going to skip the political rhetoric and hope …
Something Old & Something New & Original Artwork FOR SALE!
As many of you know, I’ve been writing and sharing pretty consistently at Substack since February 1st of this year… After about a year and a half of wondering what was next, waiting for my next BIG IDEA and coming up short, I set a goal for myself to write every day at Substack, which …
DIY Abstract Art // How to Paint Over An Existing Canvas Painting
A few months ago… way back in summer, I had the urge to paint my drippy watercolor flowers that I had previously only done on paper, on a much larger scale and on a canvas. My first thought was to buy a pre-stretched canvas, but they are always so expensive and never in the larger …
Art + Interiors / Decor + Photography // These Fine Walls Art Gallery
What began as a simple click through from an art gallery email quickly turned into a deep dive down a rabbit hole of gorgeous interiors styled with incredible photography. Originally I thought I’d share the art I was drooling over – since my art gallery days, art features have been a regular thing here – …
Office Bathroom Makeover with Hand-painted Art Accent Wall
Though I haven’t quite finished decorating my project room and still want to add a little fun exterior styling once the weather warms up, now that the bathroom is finished, I feel like my office renovation is complete! I’m so grateful I had Chad to help me with this entire makeover because it would have …
Home Decor // Hand-Painting Walls – Abstract Line Art Faces
We finished my office bathroom a few weeks ago but I have yet to put the finishing touches on it because I just wasn’t quite ready… my vision wasn’t complete, but I’m closer now 🙂 Since I’m renting and paying for all the upgrades, I didn’t go all out on the bathroom but instead used …
Artist Spotlight // Joe Mortell & His Dreamscapes …I Want to Live in
I spotted these incredibly awe-inspiring spaces on Instagram and immediately wanted to move in! Upon doing a little more research I found that rather than actual living quarters, these images are works of art by New York Times senior designer, 3D animation and illustration artist, Joe Mortell and I just had to share! In a …
Bridgerton Costumes and the Return of the Empire Waist
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a small, or maybe not so small obsession with the new Netflix show, Bridgerton… and I am to bet that you might be in the midst of the same obsession at the moment because well, we’re still locked down with nowhere to go and nothing to …
Pretty Chess Sets // Gift Idea Inspired by The Queen’s Gambit
If you’ve been watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix then you most certainly want to play chess or learn how to play chess or maybe even just look at a pretty chess set sitting as decor in your home or office… or is it just me? I’m watching the show for the second time now …
I think that I am kinda done, Can we just get to 2021? PLEASE
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
DIY-ish // Fun Printable Coloring Art Prints – Digital Downloads
Lovecats! It’s a crazy time… How are you holding up? I hope you and your families are healthy and safe at home and even though this quarantine is probably making us all a little (or a LOT) stir crazy, at least we are protecting ourselves and our communities by staying home and staying well. It …
Reading & Watching 2/20 // Currently Inspired By
Hey Lovecats! It’s so funny… or maybe not really at all, but as soon as I make some blanket statement about something, I tend to do the exact opposite and I have no idea why. I know this about myself and often will refrain from making such statements because of said fact. However, “they” say …
Books // Beginner’s Pluck by Liz Bohannon, Founder of Sseko Designs
Way back in 2012 I received an email asking if I’d like to partner with Sseko, a socially responsible brand that employs woman in Uganda and teaches them the skills to make beautiful leather sandals and handbags (and so much more now!) which, in turn, gives them opportunities to go to college and better their …

Lovecats! I finished my painting and I LOVE IT! I had SO MUCH FUN painting this that I miss it now! It took me about two weeks to finish and was the thing I looked forward to the MOST every day. It’s one of those things you just can’t wait to finish but it’s bittersweet …
Sunday Crush // Custom Paint by Numbers by Paintillio
YOU GUYS. I’m CRUSHING HARD ON THIS! I don’t think I’ve been as excited about something like I am about this in a very long time! From the beginning of the year I’ve had an urge to paint, but I always found some excuse not to do it. And then at the beginning of February …
