Using darker tiles can basically bring a whole new dimension to your bathroom design. Used well, dark tiles can widen up a space just as much as lighter colors. It can also offer a base for bathroom ceramics to shine.

Inspiration | Courage | Creativity Out of sheer inspiration and desperation. I finally found myself in my own tropical state of mind. I dared to begin for the end is only the beginning. From an empty wall turned into something beautiful. Every brush stroke has a story, and I can say it was quite bit of a process, and it didn't happen overnight. I stared at it for long periods of time, allowing inspiration and creativity to just simply flow. Nothing was forced and I just simply have to let it be. Mixing colors was also a fun part, it is when you see new colors coming out and it was just pure bliss to be working with these colors. It's soothes the eyes and heals the soul. As I worked on it everyday, as each stroke is brushed through the wall, something happens inside of me. It's as if letting go of something, letting go of every emotion and creativity and let it both blend. It is true that creativity takes courage, lots of it. Because in the process, you make mistakes and tons of it. Yet in those mistakes something beautiful is created and you'll never notice it until it's finally done. There is truly beauty in a breakdown and I have to preach that to myself. Cracks might have been made but that's how light gets in and let it transform you. So here's to more walls and canvasses to be messed up by yours truly 💋

An early christmas present.

I still can't believe the little shoebox apartment I share with my sisters is on the cover of this month's Real Living issue. I really am at a loss for words!  It came as  pleasant surprise from the RL team (they didn't tell me the apartment was going to be on the cover! If their goal was to shock me, those guys sure did a good job!) I really enjoyed the whole process of furniture shopping, decorating on a budget and collecting stuff from my travels to cram into our little living space. Seeing my little labor of love on the glossy pages of a magazine was surreal and just .....WOW. I read through the  whole 5 page spread they did about the apartment and couldnt't help but cringe upon reading the interview I had with the team. I couldn't stop laughing!! Reading about yourself and having you "quoted" is  so weird. I could hear myself actually talking Haha! I did  a little Design-sponge inspired home tour on this blog  and  wrote about my Design Sponge fantasy a few months back, about how it was my absolute dream to have my little budget design featured on their blog. I really didn't expect I was going to get so much more than I had initially hoped for.

There isn't anything else left to say, but to credit all of this to our Lord.  Everything for His  greater glory and fame. He is just beyond amazing!!!! I am in awe. 

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

Psyched that they gave a little shout out to The Daykeeper on the mag! Hurray!
