Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

Inspire Me Monday: Stuff I Love

 I don't have any interiors for you today, but I thought I'd share some things I'm loving lately.

I want this Holbrook coffee table from Home Decorator's Collection. I'm really tired of all the IKEA in our house--especially our coffee table. I'm not sure we can swing the almost $300 price tag but I think the rustic wood and iron in this table would look great juxtaposed with our modern couch. Maybe if I sell some more paintings soon?? (hint, hint! ;) How much was/ is in your budget to invest in good furniture?





Remember when I shared with you our desire for a huge wall map to document our travels? A few months ago I found this awesome little Ohio based company called These Are Things and I just love their maps. Especially this one in aqua and yellow



Pretty Visage is one of my new favorite shops on Etsy. Brittany's beautiful fabric flowers add the perfect punch to cardigans, tees, clutches or whatever else you can think of! And get this genius idea--she uses strong magnets to attach the flowers instead of safety pins. So no holes and you can put them anywhere and change them out instantly! Brittany also writes this sweet blog


I've been stumbling upon some really amazing Etsy shops lately. I was thinking about starting a new series on the blog featuring different shops I've been digging. Is that something you would be interested in reading? 

Oh, and Aisle to Aloha Studio was a featured artist on the sweet blog, maddyanne designs yesterday. You'll find maddyanne designs added to the blogroll as well as a few more blogs. Make sure you check them out!
