Garden and Glass Art

I thought I should share photos of my visit to Chihuly Garden and Glass 

In Seattle. Simplicity and mass planting allows the art take on a life of it's own.

Dale Chihuly said that he wanted his work to appear like it came from

 nature. Which is what I truly love about his art.

Upcycled Dining Room Light

Before Photo - This is our DIY light project. My artist friend JJ Jacobs no longer liked her dining light. So we changed it up with window screen and shells. 

After Photo - JJ and I were really happy with the results. She is re-decorating to create a beach house atmosphere.

Recycled Pallet Planter

Love this vertical garden pallet project. Staining the wood is a nice touch. I will definitely have to make one of these for my small side yard.

Creative Soul Art Studio

My friend JJ Jacobs is starting a new business, Creative Soul Revival. To give her a fresh start for the New Year, we cleaned and organized her art studio. JJ is a painter, sculptor and glass artist. (You can see one of her paintings in the photo above) 

Isn't the peg board amazing?
