Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Art
When I received the theme of Plants & Art for the September Urban Jungle Bloggers, I knew that I needed to keep it really simple and focus on just one plant and one work of art because what I had in mind look like they’re made for each other. These two beauties deserve equal starring roles here, like two principal dancers. They both share the same movement and I think that the green and pink just go together so beautifully too.
Mini Grandi Artist
I’m having so much fun redecorating the new home and just the other day had some new prints by a New Zealand artist, Sophie of Mini Grandi Artist framed. I fell in love with Sophie’s dreamy watercolours inspired by the wild and beautiful Wanaka landscapes after discovering her work, like so many artists on Instagram. I now have them on display in my entry and our bedroom. What do you think?
Best International Interiors Blog Nominee
Some of you may have seen a couple of weeks ago over on social media that Styled Canvas has been nominated as Best International Interior blog in the Amara Interior Blog Awards.
Hold on tight
Tomorrow is my eldest child, Paolo’s birthday. He turns eight and I simply can’t believe where these years have gone. During the first four years of his life, came his sweet brother and sister, two more blessings. This photo was taken the day my youngest, Lou was born. It was the moment that the two big brothers met their sister for the first time. The moment that I realised that we were a complete family of five and my life changed forever and for the better.
Styled Canvas September Challenge | Moodboard
The September #StyledCanvasChallenge is about getting back to the basics of styling by creating a moodboard. It’s the best way to truly express a theme or feel before moving on to style a scene. I know that a lot of you love to create moodboards but I have to admit, it’s something that I’ve resisted. I’m not entirely sure why, but I just didn’t have the confidence to do it. Perhaps it was the fear of not creating something aesthetically beautiful. I certainly felt out of my comfort zone, but that’s how we learn right?
