"Turning photographs into art through emotion and creativity." - Terry-Anne, Photographic Design Artist
Title: “Dream” by Kokabella
As I was unpacking and hanging wall art, I shot a photograph of this handmade porcelain charm and instagrammed it before polishing it off in Photoshop.
I printed it out on platinum paper and wow, it was so gorgeous, I am definitely going to add it to my store when it launches on etsy (without the watermark of course). The colors are vibrant and shiny!
I thought I’d open up my home and show you all the cute and beachy decor in my home.
How we ended up here in Palm Coast in the first place is a pretty cool story.
I’m going to blog about it in the next few days. It’s about a lady named Martha
and the ocean waves that were calling our names!
Almost all the decor in my house was here when we moved in. Basically, we leased
a vacation home to temporarily enjoy life by the beach. for awhile. We moved to
Florida from Austin, TX.
It’s so fun in my home! The only thing more beachy than my home is the beach itself!
Ohhhh my gosh. When the cat’s away, the mouse does play! I decided to start refinishing and painting some furnishings to make our new place look cozy instead of “mass produced.”
I bought this overly lacquered 4-foot high mirror for $10 and borrowed a sander from my girlfriend’s husband. First tip… don’t sand in the house at midnight in the middle of winter and if you do, make sure you have a very good vacuum, a new air filter for your central heating system and good Lord, get a mask!! I did none of the above by the way. Thank goodness the dog survived through it all!
I took this photo just after the stripping and sanding. I have still got to stain and seal it. Welcome to my new world of shabby chic… which basically means that it’s a style all your own and you can’t screw it up, so just have fun with it and call yourself “Miss Shabby!”
