Tanja Huybregts and her unique abstract art

Tanja Huybregts, a local Houston artist, visited my work today to show us her new collection. She is from Holland but works out of Houston mostly and was just as lovely and nice as she can be. Her artwork is composed of photography which then is specially printed onto plexiglass and backed by a type of brushed aluminum which helps to make all the colors really pop. They range in sizes but the most common is the 48" x 72". We are excited to feature her work at our showroom. Here are a few of my favorites to share with you!

These blues and yellows look beautiful together! 

This pop of yellow would brighten up any contemporary space. 

Love, love, love this one! Best colors ever.

Check out the entire new collection here.

My Spring Style Basics

I was inspired today by one of my favorite bloggers, Casual Glamorous, to do a spring 'must-have' post. You can see her picks here. 

In true "Debra" style, I picked pieces that are easy, light, and versatile. I love wearing a loose fitted top with skinny pants to roll up at the bottom and styling with a great pair of earrings and watch. Depending on the occasion I'll opt for heels or even flats.   

One of my favorite casual looks is a white top with khaki or linen shorts and sandals. You can't forget the accessories though, it's the topping on the cake, so put on a light weight scarf with a nice spring pattern and lightly styled earrings with some stackable linen bracelets and greek sandals. Throw your hair up in nice chic messy bun and voila! Love it.

Puppies and bracelets

It's been a month since my last post. A month!

I've come to a stand still with interesting and pretty things to share. Honestly, I felt a little uninspired and really preoccupied by life. My work has kept me so busy and now we have a little booger named Belle to add to the mix...are you ready readers?

Meet Belle.

I know. You'd be a little distracted too.

I have managed to get a few more sales from my Etsy shop(yay!) and I've re-listed some earrings.

 Over the last week I made a new bracelet and necklace that will be available in my shop soon!
Here is a preview of the Green Amethyst Rhomboid bracelet.

Wishing you the most success on your beautiful designs, Katie!

Barn House Rules

Robin Beaty's barn house studio

House Tour here!

I came across this article on Apartment Therapy's website and was quickly enamored with the idea of owning and living in a barn house. I found old barns for sale online and I found companies that build barn homes.  

That dream was quickly squashed when I learned that my lovely barn home would probably rot by the next year. Awesome.

Thank you, Texas humidity. You're lucky you're the coolest state. Like ever. *Sigh* 

You'll learn that Robin is an encaustic artist. Don't know what that is? I didn't either until I read the article.

Her work is absolutely stunning and if I wasn't so obsessed with making jewelry at this point I probably would have given encaustic painting a go. However, by looking at Robin's work it would have been a laughable attempt.

You can view her work on her website at http://www.robinlucianobeaty.com/
