A Visit to the Offices of Atlanta Interior Designers Kandrac & Kole

Apr 02 2016 · 0 comments · Behind the Design, Posh Peek, Travel, Video ·0

I’ve always loved being an Interior Designer. Little did I know when I started Posh Palettes, my Interior Design blog, all of the wonderful opportunities that would present themselves. One (well actually, two) of the most exciting results of writing this blog has been being invited to attend BlogTour Modenus ~ first to Italy, then to Las Vegas. Veronika and her team organized amazing trips and we took in endless inspiration from both our travels and exhibits and events featuring top notch vendors in the design field. However I think the greatest gift I took away from BlogTour was the friendships that were forged walking the ancient streets of Venice & Milan. Two of my best (and most talented) friends from BlogTour are Joann Kandrac and Kelly Kole of Kandrac & Kole Interiors.

A Poem & A Painting: Mexican Pottery

Mar 28 2016 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting, My Paintings ·0

Last month I visited the beautiful country of Mexico with a friend for some much need rest and relaxation. It seems like a lifetime ago now but if I close my eyes and allow my mind to drift, I can go back to that warm, beautiful, and inspiring place. While in Tulum one of the sights I especially enjoyed was the displays of handmade pottery. Such artistry! Today’s quote reminds me not only of the artisans of Mexico, but of so much more…

A Poem & A Painting: Inspired by Christopher Guy

I love the whimsical yet uber-elegant style of Christopher Guy‘s furniture designs. His seating in particular is posh and elegant with a dash of fairy tale fancy. I love this Christopher Guy quote on his design philosophy:

A Poem & A Painting: Still Thinking Pink

Feb 15 2016 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting, My Paintings ·0

With encouragement from my instructor, I’ve been working on larger paintings of late. I love the juxtaposition of the fun colors (lime green and rose pink) with the more “serious” still life tableau. It reminds me of our New England weather of late ~ arctic cold this weekend, followed by rain and 50 degrees tomorrow with winds whipping most days. Typical!

30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 30(!), Daily Magic

Jan 30 2016 · 0 comments · 30 Paintings in 30 Days, My Paintings ·0

30 Paintings in 30 Days is always a challenge because “life” happens: wrist surgery, a hospitalized Mom, and design deadlines to name a few of this month’s “life” events. That being said, it gave me joy (and perhaps increased discipline) to paint everyday. I truly feel that the only way to improve at anything is to practice!

A still life make-up table painting is the finale to this current 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge…
