designs, colors and ART

"Whatever you think or DREAM to do- begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."-Goethe

We've had a full schedule with the biggest changes in our lives lately. I haven't had a bit of time to sit and create much at all, but since our house is still "a work in progress" I decided to play around with some creativity for the girls rooms. I painted a chunky, retro flower mural in Hannah's room under the loft Josh made them (I promise to put before and after pics of this house on here!) and wanted to do something else too. 
So I took a canvas and on a whim, thought about 50 things I adore about Hannah. I wrote them on, and personalized with her name and colors. It was so special for me to do and for her to receive. A meaningful (and quite different) piece!


So, I did one for sweet little Tyler too! I thought, what a great gift... for a newborn. To have his little story on a canvas. 

Then the girls bathroom. I love the bright and playful colors that the girls have in their rooms and bathroom. This one below is a huge canvas. I thought of what I wanted them to see/read every morning when they get ready. So I wrote many sayings the are positive, beautiful and what I believe you should carry around in your heart all day long. Another meaningful piece of artwork that is fun and funky.


This one I was just playing. Again, the bold and trendy shapes and colors. I wrote on here what I most have been praying for the girls as they start in a new school. For them to be confident, courageous and a lovely and beautiful light to all they meet.


This one was for me. I really have been desiring to "loosen up" my style and my art. Too be free to dream big. So I had fun with colors and wanted to be okay with a bit messy and rough.

All of these samples/originals and the personalized name signs that I have been doing for years are all going on Etsy! I have this brand new market here and wanted to begin something bigger, dream bigger and get going. My Etsy shop is now open, so take a quick peek (still a work in progress, like so much lately). 

Stay tuned for more later!
