MY OWN ART

Here is a painting I made for a large wall in my home, this is by far my favorite of all the art I have. I hand-painted my favorite section of the infamous 'Romeo and Juliet' play from Shakespeare onto this large CANVAS. Every time I have guests over they stop and read the entire thing. They love it! My friends keep telling me to sell these on my MadeBygirl site. Not sure yet though.....we'll see if i have time. Have a great MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!!

I love NYC and Miles Redd

Miles Redd has designed many NYC apartments. He's been featured in many of my favorite publications such as New York Magazine, Vogue, House Beautiful, Elle Décor, House & Garden, W, and Country Life. I always find it interesting how people make their start and with Miles, his tiny East Village apartment became a laboratory for his particular brand of cozy glamour: he painted the floor in an emerald green harlequin pattern and stacked books to the ceiling! Amazing, just look at those ZEBRA print doors!

Icon Rugs

I was looking at rug companies the other day and came across this one from the UK. I thought they were pretty cool. The idea of having a huge portrait on the ground in a livingroom space really appeals to me. I'm in LOVE with the Audrey Hepburn one! More rugs at: Modern Rugs UK.

Of course you CAN help.....

In order to keep decorating our homes, we need to make sure we're still alive. I realize that everyone will not be able to do everything 100%, but a good chunk of it can be quite helpful against the effects of Global Warming. Some things you can do:

• unplug un-used electronics



• use compact flourescent bulbs



• adjust Your Thermostat



• change the AC Filter



• take shorter Showers



• buy a Hybrid car



• replace Old appliances



• inflate your Tires



• landscaping your home for Energy efficiency
  

Much more at: Global Warming. Also, a good book: Climate change begins at home. You can also buy Interesting Bracelets in many different colors and 100% of the proceeds go to Global warming fund. They're so cute and made from scrap leathers!

One of my wishes is to stay there someday in their Dylan signature room!

Either way, here's a company that specializes in Custom Pop Art. Real fun stuff for decorating your home!
