I'm a lover of all things pretty, and I have a passion for design and decor and recently discovered my love of textiles. I'd love nothing more than to make it big in the business of design. I've created this blog to share some of my ideas and opinions, as well as display some of the work that I've done. I also wanted to create a place for readers to check out some cool art, including photos, patterns, paintings, music, dance and of course furniture. Design and art are all around you...open your eyes!
Thanks for visiting,
L.I.E
