Blabber

So here's the thing. For about 6 years I had a personal blog, not related to interior design or anything else. I just talked about my life and my opinions, many of which are STRONG and ULTRA LIBERAL and I offended shit tons of people and it started to take over my life in an unfun way and became a SITUATION. At the time I had a ton of readers which was awesome, but the whole thing bled over into my personal life which was the opposite of awesome.

But in starting a blog again, I recognize the only way I canreally enjoy this experience and have an idea of what to say is to just say everything. I mean yes, the focus will be design and pretty things and all of that but MY LIFE IS MY DESIGN, all dramatic style, you know?

Here is a wall in my studio. Let me tell you stories about these objects.

So first off, this mirrored cabinet? It's one of my favorite possessions in the whole world. It was custom made by my friend Shelley. We met in design school (come on, how could this girl not be an awesome designer, check out that cabinet awesomeness) and Shelley is now seeking her fortune in NYC and I think of her often. The cabinet was a wedding gift and dare I say, the favorite gift I recieved. The best gifts are the handmade ones, I always say.

From top left: Crate and barrel candlestick, silver votive holder from Ireland, piece of silver from my mothers set from the 70's, hand embroidered Happy Anniversary card from Etsy shop King Popcorn, Mexican prayer candle from my grandparents now defunct store in Galveston, 2 other yummy smelly candles, pink box a souvenir from my honeymoon in Paris, found dental mold (I'm calling it a sculpture), another piece of 70's silver, a ceramic sculpture of a hostess cupcake (can't remember artist right this second) and a a handmade rosary made by my Aunt Liz. (I like to wear it and dance around like I am Madonna from the 80's all Lucky Star style.)

Panning out:

ART! I like art. Top center is a portrait of me done by my beloved, ditto to the portrait of my dog Claire bottom left. Oh and he painted the small pink framed water colors. The loteria print is from local artist Elizabeth Hernandez and the bottom right painting "The One Eyed Monster is by Tisha Balli. The kissing booth letter press poster is from my one true love, Etsy and made by Rollandtumblepress.

DUDE, what up with needing the hyperlink tutorial like an elderly.
