I am drawn to simple black and white prints. They are especially striking in a gallery wall with black frames. This is the first of several black and white inspirational prints I will be sharing in the coming months. I love that the black and white prints can be used in various home design styles. Sometimes simple is best. Welcome in a leaf frame is sized 10″ x 8″. Read More

Watercolor Nature Prints
Today I’m so happy to share 3 hand-painted watercolor prints based on a free work by German graphic designer, Stefan Schweihofer.

I love the colors – they’re the colors of the ocean to me. Read More

One day with a high in the 60’s followed by 5 days with highs in the 70’s. I’ve been smiling the whole time. Read More
Adding Fall To Coastal Decor
Living in Florida, I have many coastal elements in my home. My living room decor is dominated by my floral painting over the futon (see Original Art by Peter Cocuzza) and is mostly coastal in colors. I change the feel of the room for fall by adding more tan, deeper colors, and textures. I’m not really an orange fan. Instead of aqua and peach think turquoise, deep purples, and navy blues.
