I want one...

I stumbled upon this amazing artist and her jeweled installations. Made my heart skip a beat and I think one (or two) would look glorious in my living room.

Her installations are incredible and she did several at Rice Gallery in Texas. Oh the inspiration!

Creative Christmas

Being on a budget and all, I had to get creative with Christmas decorations. I hit the jackpot at the thrift store! Some old lady must have given away all her ornaments because I found boxes of ancient glass bulbs... the kind with glitter and indentations and weird shapes! Before anyone else could snag them I hurried off to the register. They went perfect with my fake white tree and giant old fashioned string lights.

I love my loft apartment, but it leaves me wishing for a fireplace! Christmas feels incomplete without one. So I made my own FAUX FIREPLACE from an oversized vintage frame, small white shelves I found at Target and lots of candles! The whole thing cost me less than fifty dollars!



virgin blogger

Eeek! My first blog! My sister convinced me that I should start an artist/designer blog to chronical my creative endevours. After recently becoming a mama, I conceeded that this would be a productive outlet while I am on hiatus from school. I'm taking six months off before finishing my masters in architecture to be with my little man, Skai Lockwood Costomiris. He is already almost two months old! Sheesh! I know nothing about blogs, and I will probably be the only one that reads this, but why not? This will be a great way to finally DO something with all the ideas in my head!


First of all, meet the family! Corey and I, baby Skai, and Zoe Jayne!
