Moroccan Style Stenciled!

I am just about done with my butlers pantry. I had to take a break in order to paint many pumpkins over the last 8 weeks. That sadly has come to an end since I literally ran out of them! So now it's back to concentrating on client's and my own projects.
 My inspiration for the butler's pantry came from a moroccan style tile that I placed on the floor.  For those who may want the same feel but do not want to take on the project of tiling one can turn to stencils.  I find that stencils can be used for many things such as back splashes, stair risers,  furniture, floors and even faux headboards! I found some true beauties on Royal Design Studio and couldn't wait to share!  To purchase these lovelies Go HERE! Remember it's much less complicated than it looks and there are many videos available along with detailed instructions. A good paint,  stencil adhesive spray and I prefer a nice tight sponge to the traditional brush and you are on your way.

Artist's Brunch

I had such a lovely time yesterday at a brunch with some artist friends.  This wonderful couple lives in the country side of  Tewksbury, NJ surrounded by hills and valleys with a view to die for! Their home is an old stable and corn crib which was converted into a living space full of whimsy and warmth.They are a couple of peace loving people, a bit eccentric and colorful with a wealth of knowledge of the world, life and art.  Mai is from a well established family in New Jersey and Peter from England. The pair paint together and travel to England every year for inspiration. Mai- Pronounced" MAY-I ", grew up surrounded by art as her mother was a wonderful painter and the two also dabbled in fabulous paper-mache pieces as well.  If you follow me on Instagram you have seen some of Mai 's work but for those who haven't I thought fitting to do a post and share.  It certainly makes me want to pull out the old new papers and wall paper paste and give it a go.   Enjoy!
