Animal Print Carpet

More and more I am seeing the use of animal print carpet, surprisingly when done well it looks amazing.

We can all agree that animal prints are sometimes a bit too much. To avoid over-doing it, try to use this type of accent in a very simple room, where the furniture is not overly [...]

Amazing Artist – Elissa Gore

Recently, I have taken a liking to landscape artwork, mainly the abstract stuff. There is something so serene about looking at a clearing, a river or lake surrounded by greenery and seasonal attributes. I stumbled across Elissa Gore not too long ago and fell in love with her work.

Who knew how addictive it could be? Certainly, I did not.  I [...]
