This post was supposed to be for May 12th & it WAS UP (for a few hours) until Blogger decided to do maintenance for an entire day in a half & DELETED it along with the 60 comments! Sorry if your comment got deleted, but please feel free to comment again.

I love it when bloggers post PERSONAL photos of things they own or just pictures of inside of their home. Know what I mean? I find it intriguing to see what people own, what they buy & even what type of dog they have! Nonetheless, it's just a small & narrow window into their lives.
How about you? Do you enjoy looking at these types of photographs on blogs?
Even though we shouldn't always judge a book by it's cover.... you can kind of tell (by looking at my pictures) that I pretty much enjoy shoes, fashion, art, jewelry & doggies! But, I'm far more than what you see in these photos & I'm sure other bloggers you follow are also much more than what you see & read. This is just a very small snippet of my life. Hopefully one day I'll add a baby to these pictures....
Ikat shoes by Enzo Anglioni
An 8x10 painting I did - soon to be available at Cocoa & Hearts
Python business card holder & leopard wallet- I'm in love with leopard print - as if you couldn't tell.
Marc Jacobs handbag hanging in my dressing area.
A painting I originally did for Cocoa & Hearts, but I decided to keep it. It's now hanging in my bathroom.
One of my boxers....she loves sleeping on her sheepskin
my handy dandy closet- super convenient.
new (earth friendly) business cards...
A white boxer I had a few years ago - she passed away in 2006 - I miss her so much.
One of my current favorite design books 'Undecorate', fresh carrot juice & a small Cocoa & Hearts piece I made. Will be adding some similar 8x10's soon to the gallery!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Brazil and I liked to know your blog.
Good morning!
thanj you for that as i agree its always nice to see some of peoples lives, we might be getting an australian bulldog yours looks really cute its sad when we have to say goodbye to our loved pets your boxer looks very cute and spoilt xo
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I have been trying to share a little bit more lately too. I started a new "fashion focus" serries showing styles/jewelry/clothes I'm wearing. It's been fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see bits about the person behind the blog!
ReplyDeleteJen, you are such an entrepreneurial/creative inspiration.
yes! my favorite blogs are those that let us into their home and give us a snippet of their personal life. so....envious of your closet and shoe/boot collection. jen over at "i heart organizing" gives a great idea for boot storage. take an old magazine and roll it up and slide it into your boot. an instant boot shaper! of course, i haven't done this yet, i need to....but seeing your sweet boots in your closet made me think of it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love personal photos - that is what makes blogs so great!!! So excited to see pieces you've painted in your home. Will you post about the piece you kept in more detail? I'm so curious to see it hung up.
ReplyDeleteplease do more of these! I agree I love to see glimpses into other artists lives... your work is BEAUTIFUL jen!!!!
ReplyDeleteMost of us love to take a peek at other people's belongings or new purchases because it's fun and intriguing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your ikat print shoes, the decorative coat hook, the painting and of course, your fabulous closet!
Good post, thanks for sharing!

This is a random comment, but I just love the colors of your paint.. I was wondering what brand acrylics are your favorite?
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it....that closet!?! And your boxer is the sweetest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteoh my-- I'm totally in love with your closet-- especially your shoe collection!
ReplyDeleteOh! You would be the perfect person to ask! I lost my pup a few months ago and am missing having a doggie in my life. I've always loved boxers but never owned one.. obviously you're crazy about them... what are their positives and negatives (if any!)
ReplyDeleteI love looking at peoples stuff too! This is the link to my blog, i don't keep up on it that much but i just did my own little home tour. i am simple decorator, and wish i could be more like the peoples homes you post but it is good for me!

ELISABETH- BOVAGOODS: Ahh yes ...someone else told me about this. I thought of doing it and then decided to just leave them as is. Who knows maybe i'll try it sometime, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAMANDA LEIGH: i love Golden acrylics or Atelier Interactive acrylics....even though i use others- those are the two i prefer :)))
ReplyDeleteSometimes i'll add some oils...depends.
RADDESIGNING:
ReplyDeletePros- they are very affectionate, they aren't barkers, really dont bark that much at all unless someone is at the door. They love to play, very smart.
Cons: They are not guard dogs, if thats what you want. They will bark at door but will want to give the person kisses when they walk in ha!
They don't live as long as some breeds, most of my boxers have lied up to 8-9 yrs old, even though they can live more than that ....
LUCIANE: Thank you! :)) Enjoy your day too!
ReplyDeleteKELLY: i know what you mean...when they misbehave i get a little upset...but for the most part they are pretty darn good so i cant complain.
ReplyDeleteNAOMI: thank you! :))
ReplyDeleteLAYERS OF MEANING: Prints of what?
ReplyDeleteOMG I am in love with your closet!!! What did you use for the shelves?
ReplyDeleteOmg I am in love with your closet! What did you use for the shelves?
ReplyDeleteBERNADETTE: My guy made the shelves- i believe he used 1 x 2 regular pine from home Depot for the shoe shelves. :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing personal photos, it is like a sneak peek into your real life! Love all your paintings, and the shoes - love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteHugs & kisses from Rio!

You have amazing style. What kind of paint do you use for your artwork? I love the color combos you choose. They're unexpected and femenine.
ReplyDeleteHey Girly! hope your moving is going great! I just wanted to see if you could provide the company you used for your business card. I would love to do my eco-friendly!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've come to realize that the only time I ever get jealous is when it coems to other womens shoe storage. I want to showcase my heels terribly! I want to walk into my room nad see them and get instantly happy....that would be the best, lol.
