Cover story postcard panel.

My husband, a writer, returned from a recent trip with this beautiful collection of book cover postcards. Fresh from the experience of an exhibit by Barry McGee at a museum nearby, I decided to try my hand at decorating our bedroom and workspace with these beautifully illustrated covers rich with storytelling. The postcards have been stuck with removable painters tape in a random assortment extending from the ceiling to the vertical wall. Painter's tape was a cost-effective (and easier) alternative to frames for putting up so many different images and the pop of blue color that holds it all together does provide some edginess. The imperfect pixel postcard composition with colorful covers instantly converted our routine space into something dynamic and fun!
"It's pure chaos, claiming a territory that doesn't belong to you to state your own identity. It's like saying, 'I've got no other way to say I exist." Barry McGee Below are images clicked from the extremely memorable and inspirational Barry McGee Exhibit at ICA in Boston a few weeks ago. Enjoy!:)

Color & contrast mural mosaic.

As I begin a new project with a rather vague idea and a plan to go with the flow, I'm reminded of this quote by Nancy Willard "“I dont have a clue how my story will end, but that’s all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, that’s when you discover the stars.” Stay tuned to see how this story unfolds.

Bedroom Divas!

While I love fun wall decals and believe they can pep up a rather staid room, I do believe putting them into a context can add immense value and charm. This is what my new project revolves around.. Creating a setting for these delightful and sassy Diva girls from Pop & Lolli (check them out on http://www.popandlolli.com/shop/stickers/design-diva-sassy-and-sweet-dress-me-girl-accessories). Below is a glimpse into the start of the project at the end of Day 1 and I'll be sure to update the blog with the final bedroom. The white zones are interactive and can be written on once the dry erase paint "cures" in a few days time.

Empty Canvas.

"It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas." - Paul Cezanne An exciting new project commences. The challenge to create a fun playroom for a delightful little girl begins today. The greater challenge, however, is going to be keeping her out of the room until it is ready!:)

Children's room mural.

Recently, I embarked on a project to create an interactive wall mural for my friend's lovely kids. A simple graphic in black and white of rolling hills with areas of interaction (interspersed in the form of chalkboard as well as colorful pin-up areas) in which the kids can add their own touch. The theme is neutral enough that it can be embellished with princesses and butterflies or dragons and trucks. I'm still in the process of fleshing this out and would love to hear your feedback and thoughts!:)
