Trend: Ginger Jars

The Ginger Jar got its name from the traditional use to carry ginger from the East to the West.

With wide mouth, bulged body and a lid, this jar was also used to store spices back in the time. Now, it is used worldwide as a decoration piece. 

Although most commonly seen in white and blue it is also possible to find it in other colors. Each has a different meaning and symbolism to the Chinese culture. 

The yellow represented the emperor’s color, the red symbolized happiness, and the white was a traditional wedding gift.

So could it be a good wedding gift idea? What do you think?

Louboutin inspired decor

Imagine walking into a room where your red sole shoes match your pillow?

I heard about people that like to match their shoes and their bags or match shoes and belts, but, I have never heard of people that match their Louboutin with the decor of their house.

Weird, right?! However, somehow, it makes sense, from the romantic to the rocker style...just take a look.

Art: Jen Ramos

When I was about fifteen years old I remember going to Michael's and buying a bunch of canvas, brushes, and paints. I got home and started using my new toys, I did a few paintings for my mom and told her that maybe I should be an artist...my paintings basically consisted of abstract struck around the canvas creating something that, I believed, was modern and very artistic. Of course, I did not become an artist and my mom doesn't have my paintings anymore.

Yesterday as I was looking around in the internet, I finally realized why I didn't become a painter...I found the work from Jen Ramos! Her paintings are exactly what I always imagined but could never do. It is incredible, when I saw it was like she was inside my head but with a good hand to make it happen.

Anyways, if you have not seen her works check it out here. The color scheme is so diverse that I am sure you will find THAT piece that was missing in your space.

P.S.: Don't forget to check out the prints too!
