Good Morning from the beach! I’m sitting outside enjoying my morning coffee and wondering if I ever have to come home. Do I??  Maybe nah. We’ve been digging around for inspiration while gearing up to work on some projects both at my home and for...

Today’s one of those days. One of those days where everything seems to be going not necessarily wrong, but just off. I can’t get/keep Ava happy and content, and I’m slowly beginning to grow gray hairs.  Hence, a quick post and a link up! I’ve...

Happy furniture-focused Thursday, friends!! As much as I hate to do it, I think we’re going to semi-pause our furniture linky party around these parts. I know, I know….I’m sad, too.  But…it’s only because I really want a little more time...

I don’t know why I’m so excited to be writing this post today, but I am! Maybe it’s because I finally had a chance to sit down and look through all of your gorgeous links, and maybe because I found some pieces and folks today that I just thought were...

all things furniture features & link party # 12

Thank you to everyone who commented on yesterday’s letter to the birthday boy.  We are certainly concerned, but we are content in the waiting.  He started some meds yesterday and is quite the groggy fella, so I’m actually watching him build an empire with...

Women. And a few of you men that read here. I wa Women. And a few of you men that read here. I want you to hear this tonight. I want to hear it.⁣ ⁣ I spent time today talking with clients. Cried with one, and I felt every moment. Clients who were feeling scared, or feeling unsure. I tried to remind them, and myself, some truths. Truths that feel impossible to remember when we are FEELING life so deeply.⁣ ⁣ Feeling like they've spent a LOT of time WASTING time. And it always feels that way in the muck. In life. In business. We spend a lot of time feeling like it's a waste. That because we're lost, we're going nowhere. Feeling that because we're stuck there is no inching forward.⁣ ⁣ But the secret, I think? I hope?⁣ ⁣ Is that we are seldom on the mountaintops and in the valleys. The moments there are fleeting. We are ALMOST ALWAYS in the INCHING of BECOMING. It is brutal. And it is beautiful.⁣ ⁣ And that's it. We spend a most of our time on the climb. And the fall. The moments of elation and the moments of the deepest sorrow or struggle pass relatively quickly on the grand timeline, and most of the damn time, we are in the TRYING. Trying to make it work while we climb. Trying to hang on while we fall.⁣ ⁣ And maybe, just maybe, that's why it becomes not just important, but essential for us to embrace the soaring that comes from within. The soaring within doesn't listen to the noise of the climb or the whirring of the fall. It wraps you up in love. It tells you you will make it to the next thing. It reminds you it's possible to go somewhere new, and that no matter what it looks like, you will move. That life will continue moving around you, and you will move with it, and one day, you will look up and be "there," wherever there is.⁣ ⁣ And the climb becomes a little less strenuous. The fall becomes a little less scary. The mountaintop becomes something you treasure in the present moment. The valley becomes the place you no longer deeply fear, but feel INTO. It all becomes part of this crazy life. And in the moments you can, you soar.⁣ ⁣ You soar. You soar. You soar.⁣ ⁣ #writer #writersofinstagram #quotes #quotesofinstagram #soar
Hey lovely humans...hope your 4th was filled with Hey lovely humans...hope your 4th was filled with good moments and time with family and those you love.⁣ ⁣ ....⁣ ⁣ Some fun updates this week coming to you...a tutorial for mixing paints with pigments (you guys asked over @thecreativeexponent too), the next update on our house and the living room/common spaces design board, a new chapter reading of The Middle, and I'll be sharing some TCe Community happenings here so you can see what we're up to there. Pop over to my stories this week to get some house updates when we go meet with the builder!⁣ ⁣ ....⁣ ⁣ Also, can't get enough of this green and my dining room studio situation. Been such a gift to have a space downstairs to work in! Off to make moves. Lots to attempt today. 😉⁣ ⁣ #paintpigment #naturalearthpaint #apothecaryjar #paintpalette #painter #paint #studio

I was lucky enough to steal a few minutes away in I was lucky enough to steal a few minutes away in my “studio”/dining room this week to mix up some pigments and begin working on new color palettes. Sometimes the best thing we can do is to play, even if for just a few moments. #paint #paintpigment #paintersofinstagram #paintpalette #colorpalette
Sometimes love is all there is. And it moves EVER Sometimes love is all there is. And it moves EVERYTHING. From the next chapter of The Middle, hopefully coming out this week. I have learned that in my business, and in my life, to soak up my moments of love, and the hope it brings with it...to soak it up thoroughly.⁣ ⁣ It's so easy, right? To get busy and be about the to do's and not see just how incredible the easy, good moments are. But mama, if you have a few (or many) really rough years, then you look at the "good times" a little differently, right??⁣ ⁣ So when I say this, know I mean it with absolute sincerity: Thank you for this time in my work. This time of good, and easier, and fun, and encouragement...it takes all of us and not just me. I never thought I would find myself back in the online world, and now that I'm back here, I find that I'm so surprised at how welcoming you guys were and are. How much you have spoken life into my life this year.⁣ ⁣ So see? You did it, too...you gave the "love is the only option" gift. And you brought with it hope. ❤️⁣ ⁣ #hope #love #quote #quotesofinstagram #writer #writersofinstagram #themiddle
Hey lovely humans. Well, it's HERE. I released t Hey lovely humans. Well, it's HERE. I released the Magic ＋ Landscapes collection of oil paintings (there's one acrylic 😉) today!!!⁣ ⁣ I keep saying it, but there is magic in beginning again. You know I fell in love with painting again last fall, and as I wrote The Middle, and specifically the chapter, Longings, I fell into a remembrance of all the longings I had and have for deep love, connection, meaning, joy, crazy colored lands and seas, and MAGIC. Hence, the name of this "debut" collection.⁣ ⁣ Swipe to see some more pics of the collection, and if you want to shop follow the link in my bio that says SHOP ORIGINAL ART.⁣ ⁣ P.S. the larger pieces are listed auction style for 3 days, and the smalls and minis are all buy now...16 pieces total. THANK YOU, THANK YOU AGAIN for all of your incredible support and love!! ❤️
However you create, with whatever medium, create t However you create, with whatever medium, create this way. 💙⁣ ⁣ P.S. I made a couple of quick announcements in my stories today about my painting release tomorrow...follow along there if you want to snag one. I'll say it tomorrow, too, but thank you guys. Thank you is small. 😊⁣ ⁣ #artists #responsibility #quote #artistquotes #quotesofinstagram #inspiration
Thank you sweet baby Jesus for Friday's. I'm chuc Thank you sweet baby Jesus for Friday's. I'm chuckling as I write, because it was a long week. A good, hard, trying, beautiful long week. I spent a chunk of time in this dining room turned studio of mine, shooting paintings and mixing new color palettes, and moving to the "office" end of the table to make graphics and edit photos for the release next week. (and noticing how the paneling on this wall needs to be addressed.)⁣ ⁣ I love working in my dining room so much that I've decided we need no formal dining space in the new house, much to the chagrin of all Southern women who've walked before me. The dining room will be our studio...and the only tables present will be for paint spilling and splatting, and the setting will be loaded with brushes and canvas and paper and room to make.⁣ ⁣ I can't wait. 🧡⁣ ⁣ #studio #art #easel #painting #landscapes #colorchart #create #creativeliving #creativespace
