Red Fox Trail

My grandmother has a beautifully decorated home with gorgeous millwork. I thought I'd capture some of my favorite rooms and details.

Bedroom Remodel

Since I've moved back to my hometown and in with my mother, I've been wanting to change up my bedroom. I currently have a vintage bedroom set that was my great aunt's circa 1930's/40's (<a href="http://lilyglover.blogspot.com/2010/12/nostalgia.html">seen here</a>) which I have no intentions of changing, but I would like to at least change the walls, curtains, and linens up a bit. Below are some creative ideas for wall treatments and inspiration for an eclectic bedroom design.&nbsp; I love all these ideas: mixing textures and colors, making a gallery style wall of art,&nbsp; painting the ceiling, along with using patterned wallpaper, giant mirrors and curtain covered walls.&nbsp; The hard part is picking which one I like best! <br />

Diamonds

The Capitalist  acrylic on canvas
This is a painting I did last summer at a painting party with some lovely ladies. I began the painting without any sort of plan, so first I created a textured background using a palette knife.  The texture began to look a little like a grassy field, so I added a small boy.  He was originally picking flowers but then I wanted him to be collecting something more unusual. Obviously, diamonds were what came to mind.
