Inspired by Nature

This morning I went on a run with some girlfriends in the beautiful Berkeley Hills. I had been wanting to run this particular trail (Strawberry Canyon Trail) and was excited to learn that they were planning to do just that. It was absolutely beautiful! We went early in the morning, before it got too busy and the morning dew was still fresh on the ground.

It was so green and full of lush vegetation...lots of moss-covered trees, rock walls, soaring red woods, all while following a running creek. Oh, and don't forget the gorgeous views of San Francisco and the Bay which never gets old. It was such an inspiring atmotphere and left me wanting to create something beautiful! I feel so thankful to be living in such a beautiful area! ...now if only I could do that run every morning...

So here's to getting out and exploring the world around you....it will lift your spirits and inspire you to create amazing things!

New Client

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek at a new client's home. They have a beautiful tudor-style home with such charm and great bones.

I'm excited about adding new life to the space and will be sure to show you how it turns out!

Navigating Through Life

Last Sunday I mentioned I was putting on an event for my church. It is primarily for the girls ages 12-18 and their parents to get them excited for the new year and talk about the different programs they'll be involved in. Each year, a new theme is introduced, and this year I chose to focus on Navigating Through Life. It was a fun theme to decorate for and it turned out to be a success :) Of course, my budget was basically nothing, so most everything was borrowed from different church members. I used a lot of old maps as table coverings and antique nautical devices for centerpieces.
