I am popping in with a few updates that I would like to share with you. First, today is the last day to take 20% off EVERYTHING in my Etsy shop. Here’s how it works – go to my Etsy shop, select your items, and enter code holiday20 in the coupon code box at checkout (you will see the savings reflected upon checkout and when paying via PayPal). Offer good through midnight tonight. Thanks to everyone who has already purchased something! Also, make sure you are following me on Facebook and Instagram. I will be announcing more holiday sales over there throughout the next couple of weeks! Lastly, it’s been non-stop in my studio. I have a few custom orders to finish and I’m still producing new art for Etsy and the Bucktown Holiday Art Show – more details coming soon. It’s that time of year when working weekends seems unavoidable. I have to admit the chaos makes me excited and seeing snow this past weekend definitely put me in the holiday spirit.

artist, studio, den, office, interior design, inspirationIf you’ve been following along on our home renovation, you know that we’ve done (and are still doing) a lot to make the space our own. I am still not quite settled into my new studio (although it is doing much better than the rest of the house right now). I had a few ideas about the feeling I wanted to achieve in this space – white walls, lots of natural light, plenty of storage and since this is KZ headquarters I wanted to make sure to get a little color in there too. These photos are roughly what I have in mind – artist, studio, den, office, interior design, inspirationMy dream has always been to do more than just art, but also to host events, collaborate with other creatives, set up photo sessions and create without limitations. This space opens the doors to many of those things. Still left to do in the studio – replace the light fixture, install shelving, hang bulletin/mood board and purchase/hang curtains. To see more of my inspiration, check out my Studios & Work Spaces Pinterest board.

I wish these ladies below were actually something so I could be one of them for Halloween. I haven’t decided what I am going to be yet! Have you? A few years ago we dressed up as Wayne and Garth and it was one of my favorite costumes ever! Tonight we are going to a friend’s Halloween party, and we’ll be bringing a pitcher of this apple cider sangria. I hope everyone has a safe, but fun and creepy, weekend!

studio update

The month of October I’ve been swamped – lots going on over here and not a lot of downtime. As much as I hate having to shuffle my artwork to the back burner, house projects, travel plans, parties to prep for and friends to see have made it unavoidable. Plus when you are a one woman show, it can become quite daunting to manage all of the priorities by yourself, and sometimes certain things have to give. artist studio, diy, floralIn previous years I’ve been very dedicated to my art. I try to set ambitious, but realistic, goals for myself. This year, because of everything else that’s going on, I knew that I would have to be a bit more flexible and not so hard on myself with meeting my goals. I hope to get back into the creative swing of things soon! Above are a few images of what’s been keeping me so busy lately via Instagram. Instagram has become such an amazing way to share life’s little moments, so if you aren’t following me there yet, be sure to check it out and please say hello – I’m always looking for fun new people to meet and follow!
