my new shop

JENNY ANDREWS December 17, 2013

hey everyone.

this post is late.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL IT IS!

it also smells like cinnamon.

no it doesn't.

i WISH.

cinnamon is my favorite smell.

i have decided to switch my store over from etsy to a new all-me-only-me site.

there are new smaller paintings over there to christen it..

like this..

bandit11 x 15 paper — bandit
11 x 15 paper

and this..

lumos11 x 15 — lumos
11 x 15

smaller because they would make a great gift.

and gifts should be affordable but special.

that said, no one will cuss at you if you buy one for yourself.

because they are so affordable!!!!

go here to see the new shop.

ruthie sommers

JENNY ANDREWS December 16, 2013

just now getting around to reading the dec/jan issue of lonny mag.

i usually flip through really fast and only linger on the images that stop me.

then i go back and read all about it.

such was the case with ruthie sommers's seaside ranch in california.

my initial thoughts were...wow, this place is healthy with design ADD.

and i thought about how kind of perfect that all really is.

the house seems big.

and there are different levels, and a barn.

the barn is for guests and gatherings of the late night variety.

the thing i love most about this place is that it seems completely un-decorated and imperfect.

it feels as if it was bought as is, and stuff just moved in.

i have no idea if that's the case but job well done anyway.

the house seems congruous enough.

but then you get to the barn and there are several ideas happening at once..

and then....this golden, pastoral beauty just outside.

so magical.

i'm sure there are those of you out there who still prefer a more glamorous and polished looking space.

that's cool. to each their own.

but not me.

not ever.

i prefer design ADD.

granted...there are areas of this house where i probably would have gone in a different direction, namely the game room...

BUT that is precisely the point.

ruthie loves this room the most she says. and that is all that matters.

i think we all could learn a lot from this style of "decorating".

which is to say...go with what you love, always, and it will work.

your home will feel authentic.

people get so caught up in it looking "right".

or the brain-farting behavior of.."but what if i hate it?!"

and god forbid...you are decorating your space for someone else..

or rather what you think other people will like.

you've heard it before...

your home should reflect your personality and lifestyle.

it should be comfortable and entirely YOU.

because..

ugh!

i can't with this.

this isn't ok on any level.

why is it all brown?

like...it's all brown.

i mean fuck it...why not just go all the way there and paint the walls brown?

it's tone on tone on tone on tone....brown.

fuck this person.

this person is dead inside.

the perfect life. or the perfect life?

JENNY ANDREWS December 11, 2013

it's a question because well, who the fuck even knows what that means.

perfection is elusive.

happiness comes and goes.

vacations don't last forever.

full beards are gross.

the hobbit was a GOOD movie!!

kandi has a bigger booty than phaedra yet no one talks about it.

these statements are all factual.

also factual..

amanda brooks is living my idea of the perfect life.

amanda brooks is an american lady who lives in the countryside of oxfordshire, with her artist husband.

she's a writer and fashion-y person, if you want to know.

her husband's ex is miranda and her house is amazing too.

but it's in brooklyn and i don't want to live in brooklyn.

no offense to brooklyn.

and until about 4 minutes ago (thank you jenna) i assumed miranda and amanda were sisters.

amanda also has a dreamy instagram feed at all times..

yep.

perfect.
