Support Your Local Artist

Being an art major I get to walk through halls that are covered in beautiful art work. I love it!! From seeing all of this amazing work, especially from studio majors, I have developed a big passion for supporting other artists. Since I am in college this support usually means complimenting their work, but one day I plan on actually buying some pieces.
I think it's important to know that you can find more affordable pieces, especially on Etsy. The following three pieces are under $20 and each are so cool and wouldn't be hard to incorporate in any room. When you get a piece either ask the artist how they would recommend to frame it or make sure to explore a few options for yourself. This frame is what will finish the piece and help tie it in with other pictures you may have.

Monday Blues

I would just like to say that there were many technical difficulties with this post; a few that I could not overcome. I definitely bit off more than I could chew! It was just one of those times where I needed someone else, someone with a fresh pair of eyes - who knew what they were doing. So I apologize for the resolution, but I was so excited for the theme of "around the house" that I decided I would go ahead and post it. I hope you all still enjoy it!

Thursday Inspiration

Well, I realize it's past midnight which technically makes this Friday inspiration, but let's ignore that.
These are some images I found through Pinterest - I'll try and find their original sources though. This week I am sharing clothing as an inspiration; a lot of times I find vision in my closet. I love mixing old pieces to find a new outfit to fit my mood perfectly. I also might mix unexpected pieces to feel a little fresh and fun, like wearing bright red rain boots with a fun skirt to feel a little playful on a rainy day. The textures and colors of clothes and how they work together is one of the main reasons I love fashion.

I got them here {1, 2, 3, 4} - the first one is a blog that I just discovered.
