Pictured: 1.2.3. I've been enjoying painting lately. It's a major stress reliever after a long day. 4. Pillows are an obsession around here. And rugs. And blankets. And CHAIRS… chairs are my favorite. 5.6. Our closet renovation is almost complete. I'll share before & after photos with you eventually. Right now it's completely empty and it's time to put everything back in- a good time to do one more big purge too! #springcleaning PS- Isn't that ukulele shirt adorable? it's jeremy's and it's from TopMan. 7. Painting stuff with gold paint is my other current obsession. Big time. 8. Still loving with this cute little piece of Etsy art. (found here)

I have been loving all your pictures you’ve been posting of your paintings! They’re so beautiful and colorful! I love making cards in my spare time to de-stress. Art is such a wonderful counselor.
Being busy is such a blessing… although in the moment it doesn’t necessarily feel like it, haha!
I feel like you ladies are always doing some sort of renovation and decorating. I’m so jealous! I can’t wait to get my own house and do that.

Being busy is good! Can’t wait to see Emma’s wedding. Going to be so beautifulzzz. P.S. That shirt with the little guitars = adorable!
Cute abstract painting. It’s so… ‘you’!

So beautiful… so colourful… so vivid! It may be crazy but it makes for a lovely collection of photos!
I agree that painting is super therapeutic. 🙂
Also, I can’t wait to see what becomes of those lovely scarves.
Lastly, that cactus cutout is the cutest thing I’ve seen lately. Adorable.

I love color. Sometimes just scrolling through pictures can make a frustrating day seem a little better. I’ve always loved pictures that are up-close shots of an object that really make you look at the object in a different light.
Such bright and pretty colors! This makes me want to try my hand at painting, even if it would just be something completely abstract and colorful!
It’s fun to have lots of projects on the go at once!
I can’t wait for your book project and Emma’s wedding! Share unlimited photos please!
It’s fun when life is crazy, isn’t it? It’s a good thing. It means your productive and happy. It’s great that you’ve found an escape from all the chaos through your painting too. Good for you 🙂
Love those pics.

This all sounds great 🙂 Can’t wait to see Emma’s new kitchen and the details of the wedding showers!

Loving the colors in your painting!
I LOVE Herman Marie! I did a DIY with Strange Plant in mind! (http://www.chasingthere.com/2013/04/diy-old-box-into-writing-utensil-holder.html) Great post!
I love the paintings that you have shown here and on your Instagram. They have inspired me for a new painting that I’m going to do. Thanks 🙂
Crazy as you may say it but it is as beautiful as crazy. As the name of the blog says, “A Beautiful Mess”.
You, my dear, just inspired me to paint.
I’m so looking forward to Emma’s house tour!!
it’s nice when life is busy and lots of happy things are happening. (: right now most of my time revolves around my little one so most of the exciting things in my life are the new things he learns. 🙂
