Something new and exciting is happening in September!
Noted Art Licensing Industry pro, Tara Reed, has invited me to be the featured designer in her next interactive Q + A on Art Licensing. Tara setup this innovative forum to connect designers who have questions about licensing, with designers currently working in the industry.
Be sure to tune in for the live broadcast next month, and please visit http://askdenadesigns.com/ to submit your questions.
I'm really looking forward to it!

A visit to the Alameda flea market is one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday morning. During a recent trip there, I found some creative ways to reinvent unique and beautiful vintage accessories.

Sewing gloves, scarves and ties together makes a charming banner.
Creating tassels out of vintage tea cups and woolen fabric fringe is such a creative idea!

This jewel encrusted dress is a show stopper!

Whenever I travel to Manhattan, I make sure to squeeze in a trip to ABC Carpet & Home. The abundance of eye candy found in their in-store displays always leaves me inspired, and full of creative ideas!

I love the fresh, modern ikat patterns used in this beautiful Madeline Weinrib collection.
The hot pinks and oranges found in this ABC ikat rug are especially pretty!

This display of vintage plates reminds me of the walls in our sun room. Each plate is like a delicate little painting.

This lush, green table runner is full of natural inspirations: succulents, moss, and a centerpiece overflowing with branches. It has such a clean and organic look and feel.

A peaceful bedroom interior filled with warm lighting and crisp, clean whites.
...accented by the harmonious use of branches, lighting and sheer fabric.
I recently started a line of wall decals with RoomMates Peel and Stick Décor. These repositionable decals are really colorful and cool! My daughter, Lisa, and I put up the Scroll Tree design in my new studio, take a look!



There are other coordinating peel and stick designs, including wall borders. This idea is such a great alternative to wallpaper or other techniques that are difficult to remove. You can purchase these from the RoomMates website here:
