I am going to make everything around me beautiful. That will be my life. -Elsie de Wolfe

I love long weekends…Don’t you?

September4

Being able to appreciate and a not the rush through the weekend is such a pleasure. Here’s a peak at my weekend through my phone’s lens.

A trip to the farmer’s market meant that I did a lot of baking and cooking. This included my first try a stuffed squash blossoms. They were incredibly yummy I can’t wait to do it again.

I also sat down to sketch out my bedroom because I can’t seem to get it quite right.  Sitting down with paper, a pencil and what felt like 1000 design books (it was only 4), really helped me think about and understand what I need in the space.  Here’s a first sketch of the plan:

Of course from here, there will be changes because it’s still not quite right.  I’m thinking next weekend will bring more sketching, space planning, color palettes and maybe a trip to some flea markets! If only every weekend was three days.

How did you spend your long weekend?

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. -Rumi

I’m Jessica and that quote by Rumi are the words by which I live.

With a BA in Art History and a MA in Interior Design, I am armed to create beautiful spaces where ever I go and I am always researching, learning and doing in pursuit of my creative endeavors. Because I needed a place  where my design ideas,  discoveries, creative whims and inspirations could call home, Design Wonderland was born. Here, in my wonderland, I write about an eclectic mix of all wonderful things that inspire me on a daily basis. Though my first loves have always been art, fashion and design, I am also inspired by my insatiable appetite for good food, good friends, new places, beautiful poetry and lots of tea. My hope is that through sharing my thoughts, you will be inspired to create something beautiful too.

Occasionally I am asked to do product or service reviews. I always speak honestly about the products I love. On the occasion that I do not love something, I follow my mother’s advice. If I don’t have something nice to say, then I don’t say it at all.
