Hey guys I’m back after a break of almost a week! Hope you guys are having a fun summer. A lot is going on, on my end, future travel being one of them. But I’ll save that for another post later. Today however, lets talk about art and an amazing artist, Henri Matisse!
I love when I can combine an artistic inspiration with a diy project. Matisse (1869-1964) was a french artist, sculptor and print-maker but mainly known for his modern paintings. What I love the most about his work is his use of shapes and bold colors. This painting of his is one of my favorites. That combined with a little a gold and leather obsession was the inspiration for today’s DIY Matisse Inspired Pouch tutorial. Its super easy and you can get the whole project done under $10.

Favorite summer color
What’s your favorite summer color this year? I have been leaning towards this shade of summer yellow a lot. Pantone is calling it ‘Mimosa’. Last year I was more into pastel shades but this year somehow I have been drawn to bright warm hues. Wanted to share some of my choices with ya!
Last month at Alt Summit Summer 2015 (see full post here & here) , Sherwin Williams was one of our event sponsors and they were handing out these pretty swatch cards promoting their summer color collection. My eye just went directly to this ‘decisive yellow’ shade. Trust me guys if I had a renovation going on right now, I would be definitely be using this one.
I do however, plan on painting my coffee table with it or accent a chair.

Stylish 4th of July Entertaining
I’m so excited to share this beautiful and stylish 4th of July entertaining post with you guys today. It’s got simple DIY projects, recipes to go with our color theme, a delicious summer drink and an elegant tablescape. Cool right? I wanted to keep it simple and just bring out the patriotic colors through flowers and food. And the best way to do that was with a clean crisp white background.
THE TABLE
I made two watercolor patterns to use as placemats. I wanted to keep them subtle but give some contrast between the table and plates. I also made watercolor place cards with same shade of blue which I used for the mats and finally a bouquet of beautiful red roses. You can download the prints for free! at the end of this post.
