Inspiration Is Everywhere

I walked outside my back door after several days of rain (that's Seattle for you), and I fell in love with the slight messy feeling of the yard with leaves scattered everywhere. There is so much color inspiration this time of year!

The crows fly over in huge numbers at this time of year. I am going to incorporate a crow tile somewhere in my next project.

The Hydrangea's are blue all spring and summer and then THIS happens.......Beautiful!

These rough end tiles are so interesting. I would love to use them on a shower wall as an accent.

Calacatta Marble is beautiful but it isn't the only stunning marble available. That's why I am so excited to be able to source a Lilac Marble for this bathroom material selection. It's a beautiful and very feminine color palette.

Lilac is the color of choice for this client. Lots of feminine touches which is grounded by the weathered cabinetry and hex floor.

Good Afternoon Darling

I am an avid reader! I have several blogs that I visit daily, multiple books I'm reading at once and piles of magazines that have yet to be explored. My new favorite find is a magazine called Darling.

It is a magazine like no other. 

A mission statement like that makes ME want to work for them!

Cle' Tile has some of the most unique tiles available. They also have an incredible tile visualizer for some added inspiration. Once you start it's almost impossible to stop!

You're never too old to want party favors. I created some handmade tea bags, each tea flavor representing an element from astrology. Fire/Berry Hibiscus, Earth/Green Tea Tropical, Air/Rose Petal, and Water/Moroccan Mint. These will be given out to guests at a book signing party tonight, which I can hardly wait for!

Six Hours

I'm excited that I finally updated my website. My biggest challenge is finding time to do all the little things I feel I need to do to further build my business. I need an extra six hours to do all the "extras" like blog, and update pics and then actually photograph my work. Thank goodness for new laptops!

Move over New Ravenna.........

New Ravenna creates the most beautiful stone and glass mosaics. Working with their product has inspired me to............make my own! I am so fortunate to be able to get my hands on stone, tile, and glass on a daily basis. My car is full!!!! I started breaking up stone and tile with a hammer, smashing everything into little bits. Here is a glimpse of what I started creating.

A tumbler is a must if I continue to try and cut glass.....there was some blood shed.
