INTERIOR INSPIRATION : BLACK & PASTELS.













When black is mixed with soft hues like pink and sky blue, it looks damn fine, don't you think? I do love a good contrast in design.

GOING LIVE...



...right now! It's the 6-day long Design is Mine Pop-Up Shoppe! Buy one of my favorite illustration prints for your wall at home or a friend, and/or grab a limited-run tote created by yours truly. It would completely make my day.

Let me know what you think, folks!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY : HERE AND NOW.

FOR ALL THE CRAZY CAT LADIES...









...this might be one of the best sites ever. I admittedly wear a continuous grin when looking at vintage photographs of cats in ridiculous costumes and situations. This may not be design-related, but it'll bring you joy on an otherwise hard Monday morning.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!



This Monday, September 24th at noon, I will be launching a 6-day long online shop featuring the work of my favorite illustrators, with all selections chosen by myself. I will also be debuting my new tote bags, so be on the lookout. Every purchase will get a little extra something special exclusively for Design is Mine readers. Hip hip hooray!

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : CREATIVE SPACES.














I have an abundance of creative projects swimming in my head, which in turn makes me yearn for the perfect space to create in. Everyone needs a spot to build and inspire.
