pencils + patches
We're getting a new studio space so I'm going through a decorating crisis lately. It's on the third floor of our building and the space will serve as an office for both me and Mark. For the most part, we've been able to choose many of the important things, like paint and flooring. I love the process but on a bad day, like yesterday, it's a struggle. Argh. Lighting. Why is lighting so difficult. You find the perfect pendant lights and then, bam!, they're on backorder for months and you have to pick something else. Also, there's a small accent wall that divides the space and I'm not sure what to do with it. Maybe I should take some pictures and get your advice. Would you give me some feedback? I'd like that. How about we meet back here on Monday and I'll have something for you to look at, kay? Thanks, I think I feel a little better now.
Pencils as colorwheel. Inspiration for the new space.
Patchwork pieces. Possibly a gift for a swap. We'll see how it turns out.
THANK YOU!

ohhhh.. don't color combinations just make you swoon?? the orange and blues of your fabric swatches there are heavenly.
The reason why decorating is so difficult is because there are so many good things to choose from. try to remember the fun of it; that it's just basically a great big version of any little project. i'm sure with your aesthetic sense it will be beautiful in the end. :)
