so, i promised lots of new stuff from the studio this week,
and i hope i’m delivering for you! a while back, one of my very favorite local
mamas sent me a message, asking me if i could help her out. her family has a
line of lyrics from one very fabulous dave matthews song that is very special
to them, and she wanted to do something to display them in her home.

we chatted about colors and canvas vs. framed, size,
patterns (i was even able to take a look-see at her great room + decor while picking up little mr.
re-nest #1 from her daughter’s birthday party!)….and I got to sketching. for
some reason, the place where she was going to feature this piece, and the
awesome cabinet that it was going to go over, just made me think “stripes.”

not only was i totally crushing on the stripes idea, but i loved
the color palette….turquoise, lots of shades of grey, light greens, white. and,
for fonts, i wanted to go with scripts and sans serifs…i’m just a big fan of
combining fonts in different sizes to make a piece really unique!
