Perfect for gift-giving or changing out your decor with the seasons, there are so many creative ways to use a tea towel. Melissa shares some of her favorite ideas.

Melissa shares why she wanted to create her own line of home décor. Plus a sneak peek of our next mural launch!

Have you ever wondered how home décor products are designed? Go behind the scenes of a product launch for a closer look at the process from the early sketches to final completion!

We have BIG news: our best-selling French Patisserie giclée prints are now available as peel & stick wall murals! When you can't go to Paris, the next best thing is to bring Paris to you. Invite true Parisian ambiance into your home, your business, or even your next gathering. These stunning, life-sized café scenes feature vivid colors and charming details that are uniquely captured in watercolor.

We are finally finished! After a whirlwind renovation, we put our fixer upper on the market and moved into our new dream home...just in time to be quarantined. But we didn't mind it all that much at first. It allowed us to unplug for a little while and focus on settling into our new place. After the draining process of home-selling/buying/moving it was wonderful to finally be able to take a breath.

Each year, I pick a word of intention. Something I'll use throughout the year to remind myself of my goals and the mindset I want to maintain. This year, I chose the word FOCUS. I recently finished Marie Forleo's book, Everything is Figureoutable. She described herself as a "multi-passionate entrepreneur." Yep, I thought...that's me! I'm passionate about a lot of things, which is wonderful. But I need the reminder that I can't do all the things well...at least not at the same time!

I am so thrilled to be featured by Tori Chiarello on her popular lifestyle blog, Above the Plum Tree. She picked her top 9 art prints for 2019, and my French Patisserie watercolor was number one! 

I am thrilled to share that my artwork was featured last night on the hit CBS show, 2 Broke Girls! My pen and ink print, Newport Rhode Island, appears in Season 6, Episode 18 which aired last night on CBS.

Well I'm back from my trip to Scotland! I finished going through my sketches and thousands (yes, literally thousands) of pictures and I wanted to share a few with you. I was in awe of the detailed architecture (including a few Outlander sites) as well as the breathtaking scenery.

Painted in a loose, informal style with a touch of pen and ink to accentuate the details, the charm and je ne sais quoi of Paris shines through. I used vibrant pops of color to evoke a feeling of light and movement.
