apples + oats photography
There are a million different interior design and decor trends that come and go but one thing I will never tire of is oversize equestrian photographic prints. I have long been obsessed with the strength, spirit and haunting grace of these creatures and the beauty and freedom they represent (even if it wasn’t until the…

abstract goodness
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! The rain finally let up around these parts and we were able to grill out and hang by the pool, which was exactly what this girl needed after basically a month of dark and gloomy skies. And speaking of brightening one’s day, I am super excited…

I pride myself on my prowess wielding power tools, but I have to say, artist Kelly Reemtsen’s oil paintings give whole new meaning to the term, “working woman”! I’m loving the irony and the juxtaposition of softness and glamour of a cocktail dress with the hard edge of a chain saw. Revenge of the 1950’s…

can you stand the sweetness?
This post should really be titled, “OMG”, because the cuteness is just too much to bear! I can’t think of anything sweeter for a child’s nursery than photographic prints of baby animals and Sharon Montrose’s animal prints have me searching for the nearest furry creature to squeeze until its eyes pop! Unfortunately, that happens to…
