Happpyyy Wednesday! I know it’s been a few weeks since I’ve emailed, if you saw one of my recent posts on social media I realized that setting up my new condo was taking up so much mental bandwidth (and physical energy), I just couldn’t do anything else at all. But I’m glad to say things are moooostly sorted out now, here are a few pics of the gallery that is my home… 😂😍
Can you tell I like vibrant colour?? 😂 And speaking of colour, one more project I still want to do very soon is to sew cushion slipcovers for my couch. It’s going to be quite challenging as of course they’re not simple rectangular shapes, there are bits “cut out” where the arms of the couch go, but the existing fabric is starting to show wear so it needs an update. Of course, I got some insaaaanely gorgeous upholstery fabric from our local Chintz & Co shop, their home decor fabrics are stunning (like gorgeous embroidered silks at $100/metre, etc). Thankfully this design wasn’t that expensive, but I think it’s going to look awesome and match the existing couch colour (as I won’t be covering the entire couch, just the two main cushions).
In case you’re wondering why I didn’t order some of my own designs from Spoonflower (as they have some gorgeous upholstery velvets and Belgian linens), it’s because then I’d be critiquing my design constantly as I was sitting on it. That’s part of the “fun” of being an artist — even if you love a design, there are still always things that later you can critique, which doesn’t make for a relaxing experience… 😂
If you’re not as insane as me in wanting to make your own home decor yourself, Spoonflower is having a 20% off sale right now on their pre-made home decor. In the photos above you can see some of their offerings, such as a square throw pillow, sheet set, table runner, and napkins. The designs featured are my Fox & Squirrel design, Gothic Fan (in cream & charcoal), Victorian Flowers, and Art Nouveau Roses (in white). The nice thing about the custom-made home decor is you can mix and match designs (like say from one collection), or choose just the items you may use all in one design. 😊
