Refresh Time
It never fails that once Summer is over I see my house with new eyes.. and it the eyes of a woman who's starting to think about entertaining/holidays and how that one room just isn't cutting it.

Putting Vacation on your Wall
Clearly I love paintings that remind you of vacation, and this one is no exception. I wanted this painting to feel light, full of joy and happy memories.
