Southwestern Adobe Style




It only took a few days during my first visit to Taos to fall in love 
with the town and it's palette of adobe and turquoise.

I fell so in love with these warm yet vibrant tones that I am 
painting the living room and kitchen of our mountain home in these
beautiful shades.  The painting starts tomorrow and I am excited
 to update the look and feel of our home and appreciate the new
 atmosphere it evokes.

I love color...that's apparent in my jewelry design and in my home, 
whether it be an island beach house in tropical lime, aquamarine
 and cobalt blue or a western mountain cottage with rustic wood, tile
and lots of local art including paintings, photographs and ceramics.    

This time I am making the move from a happy yellow gold shade
 that I contrasted with a deep plum with lots of white trim including
 a white staircase, dark wood floors and furniture in leather
 and copper. Although this color scheme was enjoyed for quite a 
few years it was time for a change at least in wall color.  

I will post pic's next week after the transformation  
 inspired by our vacation and these photo's and look forward to 
hearing your comments and opinions.

Wishing you a Colorful Life,
~Nancy

Inspired by the Ocean




Let summer linger a bit longer with ocean inspired jewelry.

My life is like a stroll upon the beach, as near the ocean's edge as I can go.
--Henry David Thoreau

No matter where I am I never let go of my desire to be near the coast.  

My Island Beach Style Collection is filled with jewelry inspired by the
shimmering aquamarine hues of the sparkling sea, beachy sun-drenched 
colors, sea shells, sandy beaches and sunsets.

These latest designs are particularly inspired by all the beautiful shades 
of the sea and can be found with their names and descriptions on my website.

Wishing you ocean breezes,
~Nancy
