A BEAUTIFUL MESS : THE APP!







I downloaded Elsie & Emma's A Beautiful Mess photo app last night and have been instantly completely addicted to it. It's so much fun to add sweet doodles, curly writing, and handdrawn borders to iPhone photos- I can tell I will be using this one a lot. Here is the link to purchase. Amazing job, ladies!

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES.



Hey hey, there's a new look around here! It's been a long time coming- please let me know what you think. Also, expect some changes around here soon: photo tours, interviews, wedding details, guest posts. I'm excited!

Also, I found out today that The Telegraph listed Design is Mine as a top interior design blog, which seriously made my day.

Now on to a new week!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY : MORE THAN MINT TOOTHPASTE.



"I Love You More Than Anything," a sweet valentine that illustrator Kelsey Garrity-Riley made for her husband last year. (See also: blog)

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : STUDIO SPACES.











Whenever I'm feeling a lack of inspiration and motivation for creating, I dig through pictures of art spaces, places where others feel surges of creativity. I think that even if it's just a tiny spot in your home, everyone needs a place to inspire and produce art.

COLLECTIONS : SOMETHING OLD.



The "something old" part of a wedding is the easiest for me. I tend to surround myself with pretty and silly vintage objects and clothing, which will carry on into the big day. It all comes down to the fact that I love things that have have some sort of a story/history. Any other vintage junkies out there?
