It was in our previous home in San Francisco that I first created a wall of baskets ~ you can read about it, here. You see, I had (and still have!) lots of baskets in many parts of the house; most of them have a permanent place and are used for organizing drawers, cupboards and desks, or… Continue Reading
You, too, can make a gold foil art print at home, similar to the ones featured on gallery walls and professionally styled bookshelves in beautifully decorated homes and offices {here is one I like}. You don’t need to have any extraordinary creative talent, nor do you have to own any expensive equipment or complicated tools! The technique I’m showing you… Continue Reading
My mother is an artist ~ I may have already said that many times in this blog. She’s a painter [an AMAZING painter] and we’re so lucky to have plenty of her beautiful art pieces -all oil on canvas- on the walls of our home, for free! Back when I was a kid and we lived… Continue Reading
It’s not very often that I start a project and leave it unfinished. In fact, there may be only three or four uncompleted projects that haunt me (and my garage) and maybe a few more that I’ve totally given up on. Today’s project is one of them. It was more than two years ago when I first saw this… Continue Reading
I have an empty space on my gallery wall and I’ve been looking for a simple piece of art to fill it. However, I have not been able to find anything that I love. So, I decided to try my hand at drawing. I’m not an artist and my skills are very limited, so I… Continue Reading

I couldn’t wait to decorate the wall at the end of our long, long hallway with the new square frames that I got from Goodwill last week. So, I came up with a very simple and minimal solution: I just cut paint… Continue Reading
I saw this starfish wall art on the Ethan Allen website and I absolutely loved it. It’s a hand painted starfish mounted on a shadow-box-style frame with a discreet hand-applied border in the same exact color. Really beautiful, perfect for a summer home but quite expensive. It made me think that this would make the perfect present for… Continue Reading
There was one last thing left that would complete the new vanity desk in my daughter’s room, and that was adding some wall art. I already had a frame that could work for this space; it’s a rectangular, modern, white frame with a mat for two inserts, that I often use for seasonal decor. I intentionally had placed the new… Continue Reading
Who wouldn’t smile at the sight of this message from Santa? My bright and red HO HO HO wooden letters are definitely the happiest of all my Christmas decorations! The best place to hang them is in my son’s room and there are a couple of reasons: First, color wise, the room already had hints of red here and there.… Continue Reading
My Christmas canvas art is full of little bells that… jingle all the way! Inspired after my “Canvas Art With Brass Monogram” project which I shared a few months ago, this one is only for Christmas but it will surely add a happy and festive note throughout the holiday season. I simply put together small metallic bells that create the chorus of my all time favorite Christmas… Continue Reading
