A few months back, I was introduced to Wayne Pate while perusing Instagram. Lindsay had posted a picture of his book, and I immediately stopped what I was doing to find out more about him and his art.

Something about his work just absolutely captured me, and I have been in love with pretty much every one of his pieces since that time. So when I was pondering my birthday wish list, one of his prints was quite high on said list.

I posted here about my print choice. And while my Mom says you shouldn't fill your house with the same artist's work... it will be her fault if I break that rule as she is the one who got me the piece that now has me hooked!

It seems only fitting that since I found Wayne through Instagram that I now love following him on Instagram. Seeing sneak peeks of what he is working on and how his pieces are evolving is SO interesting.

And it's always nice to see where/how an artist spends their time...

So much inspiration! I absolutely LOVE Wayne's work!

client work

I'm a firm believer in that a beautiful space begins with having a great base to work with. I always tell clients that it doesn't matter how great your decor is -- if there is a bad base, it isn't going to work! Having the right finishes allows beautiful decor to really shine.

So, to that end, I've been working with a client on an entire home refresh. We've tackled projects from a kitchen reno, to updating lighting, to paint projects to repairing drywall to outdoor upgrades... the list goes on! Now that we have the base in the right place, it's time to decorate!

Here is the plan I came up with for her living space:

sister's wedding on Style Me Pretty

I mentioned right after the New Year that my sister got married, but I never shared any pictures or details from the day. But if I could describe it in one word, it would be MAGICAL.

It was an incredible celebration, full of love and laughter, and I feel so blessed to have been a part of it all.

You can get a glimpse of the magic over on Style Me Pretty. I absolutely love reliving it all through the photos and video that were shot by the incredible Stacy Able and Katie Destry. Kudos for capturing the gloriousness that was that day SO perfectly!

have you seen?

Here are my favs of the internet this week - know of anything good that I missed?

- The new Lonny came out this week and the "Young at Heart" house tour has me feeling quite inspired.

- Never thought I would see the day!

- Adding this and this to my already quite long 'to DIY' list.

- My favorite outfit that was shared this week.

- Itching to use this fabric somewhere.

- An article showcasing a different perspective on the huge "news" story of the week.

- Isn't this a really great art/mirror arrangement? Filed it away for future use!

- Thought this post was great. Don't be afraid to switch things up around your home and think outside the box!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I've got some painting projects on my list - fingers crossed for lots of progress.

Also - sending out happy happy birthday wishes to my sweet Hubs and wonderful sister today! So appropriate that two of my most cherished share a day of birth :)

OMM: April 2014

Welp! It's almost May! You know what they say - time flies when you're having fun. And that's pretty true around these parts. Here is a little bit of what was on my mind this last month.

Song - The Hubs got me Gavin DeGraw (so fun, right?!) concert tickets for my birthday, so I've been listening to some old favs. Does it get ANY better than being 17 and listening to the entire 'Chariot' album over and over? Probably not.

Blog - I raved about my Val Pal and her blog, Adorn Yourself Accordingly, before, but she continues to knock it out of the park with every single post. I especially loved this outfit:

Mix printing perfection!

TV show - British period-dramas are a fav choice of mine, so naturally I love "Call the Midwife." The series is based on the memoirs of a midwife who worked in London's East End in the 50s. It's really great!

Designer - Lilly Bunn has been on my radar for a while, but I am loving this tour that was shared on House Beautiful recently.

Beauty product - After reading great reviews (and turning 28), I'm giving this a try.

The tanning beds of my youth are catching up with me. Will let you know how it goes.

Instagrammer - I've always said that Tulsa is a great 'house town.' So it was nice to stumble upon @TulsaHomes on Instagram. If you are interested in seeing all the beautiful homes this city has to offer- head on over and check them out!

Blessing -We got to spend Easter weekend with my Momma at her farm in western Oklahoma. It was wonderful! Just look at that SWEET Dais face!!

@emilyswensondavis

Wanting - All of the scents in Aerin's perfume collection are perfection, but this one is my favorite.

Inspiring Quote - A sometimes daily struggle for me is to live in the present. Gotta remember:

Obsessing - Over my Wayne Pate print. It's perfect. I think he might be my art soul mate because every single one of his pieces speak to me.

Go-to outfit - Not really an entire outfit, but have been wearing these non-stop.

I love them so much I think I might add this pair to my closet as well.

Trips being planned - I said that the Hubs and I were looking at Charleston for our anniv trip, but we instead booked one to the Biltmore in Arizona! Counting down the days to alot of this.....

Hope your April was wonderful!
