New Made By Girl ART + New Site!!

Hey everyone!! 

After not adding paintings to the online gallery for a couple months, I have now added some NEW  pieces including several (pre-framed) colors paintings!  I recently painted some art that was inspired by the GORGEOUS carpets I've seen in local shops along with the Morrocan style rugs I love so much! -  These new additions are currently listed as 'Rug Style' - and they have a slight abstract-feel to them.  I love beautiful, colorful rugs and thought this would be a great addition to my online gallery.  Hope you like them!!

NOTE: My apologies.....the pricing on some of the paintings was incorrect & higher than I had requested. Sorry!!!  - That was an accident & the true pricing is now listed for each painting!

p.s - for commissions and any custom pieces you'd like to have me to paint, please email me.

Hello dear readers, it's Monika from Style Loves Home here, bringing fresh dose of design! I've been lusting over those bedrooms for a while, I love their "boutique hotel" feel, pink shades, furry accessories and soft lines. They are so feminine and stylish, I would love to decorate my bedroom this way or all least add some of those cute accessories for a girly touch. 

This is what I would suggest if you're looking to give your bedroom a feminine flair!

Our NYC Apt. Photos

Being featured in Style at Home's special issue called 'Designer Secrets' was so awesome. The main reason is because it was the first time my paintings were featured in print! I was also featured in Adore magazine earlier this year in which Taleen Dersdepanian shot for, and also Better Homes & Gardens Magazine! I couldn't be more grateful.

Here are a few shots from a variety of the issues that may or may not have been shown - hope you enjoy them and please pin them but link back to my blog please.

SERIES: My Home, My Space

What is your favorite area in your home and why?             

 Hi everyone! This is Paloma from La Dolce Vita and Paloma Contreras Design. I am thrilled to share my favorite space in our home with you. It's pretty appropriate that this Made by Girl series about favorite spaces as opposed to a favorite room because my favorite area in our house is composed of three rooms that open onto one another. When you walk into my home, you arrive in the entryway shown above. Directly across from that on the right, is my formal dining room and on the left, my formal living room. 

Admittedly, we don't spend too much time in these rooms except for when we have friends or family over, but I feel like this overall space is a pretty accurate reflection of our style. I love that black and white serves as the foundation, accented by some pops of color, abstract art, and a few bold patterns.

      DO YOU have a favorite space in your home?!? If so, would you like to feature it on MADE BY GIRL? Email me with 4-7 pics of the space & we may just consider posting it!
