Colours, Quirks, & Collages






















Rooms with the most personality, the most intriguing moods--really, the most memorable spaces--seem to me to always have something special about them, whether it's gorgeous colours, an interesting display of artwork, or a unique, quirky element. Such rooms must be a true pleasure to live in, making you feel relaxed, inspired, and refreshed. At least, that's how I feel, when looking at images like these. I hope you do, too.

Artist Spotlight | Yolanda Sanchez







When I came across the work of Yolanda Sanchez, her colourful, energetic paintings made me want to see more and more of her work. What is there not to love about such beautiful colours and dancing brush strokes?








Ms. Sanchez, a clinical psychologist and painter, is inspired by nature, poetry, dance, calligraphy, and Asian art. The Cuban-American artist works with oil on paper or canvas to create layered compositions, as a way of recording her thoughts and emotions. “Making art, for me, is a way of being present in the world; it is an act of attention,” she says. “And through this attention, I give back and offer praise to the world. As such, my work is celebratory, expanding, opening, and about offering pleasure.”

Boho Chic















The warm, sunny spring weather we're having is putting me in the mood for bohemian patterns, floaty skirts, and loads of accessories.

Have a lovely week, everyone!

Today is the first day of spring here in Australia, and the weather is absolutely perfect, sunny and beautiful. Spring is my favourite season. I love all of the blossoming trees, flowers, and lovely warm days. Hope you are having a beautiful day, too, wherever you are.
