Arianna Belle: The Shop

Hey everyone! Aren't you glad it's Friday?? I am...even though I'll still have work to do. I'll be shooting some new Cocoa & Hearts paintings! So keep a look out! On another note...


Aren't throw cushions awesome? 

It's too bad I only have one sofa. If not, a few of these babies would be on them. I'm really liking the selection over at Arianna's shop. For those of you who aren't familiar with her, she's an Interior Designer who also blogs at Arianna Belle Organized Interiors. 

Funny thing is, I already have the #3 cushions in black & white, but I really think #1 would look awesome in my place too! Check out the rest of her cushion collection here. 

Which is your favorite cushion?

The Color PINK...(Via Made By Girl)

Welcome back everyone! How's your day going so far?? 


Things are pretty good over here.... minus the SUPER windy weather! My Goodness! Anyway, I haven't been out of the house today except to walk my dogs...I feel a bit housebound!  When I'm at home & start to feel BORED I begin to imagine what kind of projects I could tackle. Whether it's design related or not....it's a strange form of inspiration... boredom....ever FEEL that feeling!? Inspired out of boredom?! I know I do.

Well, today I started thinking of the color pink & how it's inspired me throughout my own life. Ever since I was a little girl, Pink was was one of my favorite colors. These days I gravitate toward this color in all different shades from coral to magenta. In fact, most of the paintings from my upcoming Cocoa & Hearts shop include different variations of pinks!
