Places & Spaces

So I've decided to dedicate one post every few weeks to places & spaces in our home. Here's why...A) I love home decor and design.  B) The home we are in isn't necessarily our 'dream home', it's more our 'in between' home...in between renting and building.  The closer we get to being able to buy land and build the easier it becomes to find things I dislike about this home.  But there's actually a lot of great things about this house.  We put a lot of hard work into renovating it.  So these posts are to help me see the nice things about this house.  C) It's fun.

The first place & space is our front guest bedroom.  The whole house gets great light, but this room in particular has really nice natural light. This room (when clean and organized) is peaceful and relaxing. I love the wall color and the lighting just adds to the ambiance. Throughout the day the walls sort of change color with the different light.  It's a pale mossy green, but it will change from green to gray to taupe and I love it! As you discover, I have a mild obsession with the color combo of gray and white....those two colors together make me very very happy. In fact, I may write a whole post on them :)

Logos

Happy International Day of Peace! Hope you do something that's very...well, peaceful!

These are a couple of logos/website graphics I designed for friends. Logos are some of the harder things to design...I find. When I ask a client to describe to me what they want the logo to get across...it's sorta like asking them for their favorite song or movie. They either can't decide or they have a ton of ideas. I guess because they are so personal and are a way of branding you and/or your company. It can be a long process at times but it's one of my favorite things to work on. Creating someone else's logo is always WAY easier than trying to create on for myself. Oh geezz.....that could take months.

It's Here

 In addition to being a mom to my sweet Lars, a a wife to my sweet husband Bob, and working full time I like to create and design.  It's sort of my outlet and after many suggestions to introduce my innovations to the world...here you go.  This is just a glimpse.
