18 Parts Lite

A couple of years ago I did wedding flowers for a girl, Carrie, who works in the store next to ours. I really dug her style!. Since then epoch moved locations and I hadn’t seen her in a while. I stopped by recently and she gave me a card for her jewelry business. I was [...]

Neck it out

Summer does something to my brain.  I become so much more alert and aware of everything from color to raw emotions.  It may be the new air of the season.  It may be that everyone is active and there is a constant buzz wherever you go.  People are generally happier, which is always nice.  I [...]

FLW Grey Home

  Over the weekend I scootered out to Oak Park with some friends to wander around the Frank Lloyd Wright neighborhood. While I really enjoy the Prairie Style for it’s clean lines, I tend not to dig the color schemes that are often associated with the style. The style tends to embrace brown, butter and sage green.
