I've got a very exciting thing happening. My Austin apartment is almost finished and I'm prepping it for a pretty fabulous shoot. For now its on the hush, but details will be coming soon.

If you have been reading my blog for some time, you know I pretty much change around my home all the time. It is sort of like my creative laboratory where I try out new things.

I figured while I was looking for another cool coffee table, I could use my fab little black and white tufted bench. I am now obsessed.

It actually is the perfect fit for my living area because its long and narrow. It provides much more space for items and to put your feet up. I'm also loving the black and white pop it has. Now, I am a believer that benches make for REALLY good coffee tables. Here are a few more examples that I like...

I love jumping out of bed in the morning with visions of things to create. It's ever so exciting! Lately, I've been craving fall already and the colors that go with it. Here is a little mood board of all the things I'm dreaming of...

Glossy grey walls [by designer steven young] with pops of mustard and plumgenta and gold.

Here are a few textures I was playing around with at home. The big mustard part is my new journal I got this summer, the color just makes me so happy. It looks so fab next to my plum croc wallpaper and that is what really popped it all off...
