I'm loving this eclectic boy's room I found in the October issue of Marie Claire Maison photographed by Nicolas Matheus. The bedroom belongs to the son of Tracy Rushmere, a South African designer who created Shine Shine, a line of contemporary African commemorative cloths that includes the whimsical fabric on the headboard above. So fun!

Wow, I love her artwork! It really speaks to me! Watercolor is a rather difficult medium to work in, and she does it so well. There is a spot on the wall in my aqua/turquoise/sea glass bedroom just waiting for the Birds on a Wire paintig! Those birds are adorable, and I know my cats will love staring at that all day (for different reasons that I!). I am IN LOVE with her Colors painting as well as Summer Breeze, and will be heading over to her Etsy store for a better look at what she has there! - Kimberly

Thank you for giving me a happy spot to visit each day!

OMG!!! what a way to enjoy the birds! Not only do I feed them, they could actually be in my home:)

What a wonderful, colourful blog. It makes you want to get the paint pots out and start splashing colour everywhere. Thanks for sharing the link.
This lovely painting features three birds, and reflects my family of three. It would make a wonderful addition in our home. I sure hope to win.
Beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.

Laura's art work is beautiful, I just love her style. Hope I am lucky on Friday! Thanks for the chance!
Everything turquoise is a cunning idea! From books, bed sheets, to its accents. Have you been indulged to this shade of blue for a long time? It's so chic and savvy. Savory cool, savory breezy! This room seems like short term-furnished rentals (New Yorker-style) meets ice blue-themed water arenas.
It's a must have. It's a benchmark. It's when you plan a vacation, apartment rentals' New York City inspired rooms is what goes in your mind first. And this is it. Just look at this breezy-designed room and it will just put a lovely landmark in your mind. Good job!
Wow! I love her art and blog! Just beautiful! This piece of art is especially lovely! Thanks for a great giveaway!
wow, I *love* this piece! Her shop is full of fun stuff - I also love the artichoke!
(with all the rain we're getting in San Diego, my artichoke plants are doing the doggy paddle!)
I love Laura's work and recently became a follower of hers...I love the little birds and the colors in the painting...my bedroom is blue so it would look fabulous!! thanks for the giveaway!!
Love this! Thanks for this giveaway!!
Wow! Laura's work is amazing, right up my alley - I love color and she uses them so beautifully in her artwork! I love the Winter Wonderland painting and Fall Foilage painting! The love birds and birds on a wire paintings are so perfect as well, I have a thing for birds - whether on clothes, fabric, paintings, etc. haha. Anyways, thank you for sharing her work on your blog!
Beautiful painting!

Here is my blog post! http://chalkboardofcassi.blogspot.com/
I love those birds! They are soo beautiful! Birds are my favorite animal and they are painted my favorite color!!!
I love that painting. It would go perfectly in my daughter's nursery: http://ababyadogandablog.blogspot.com/2010/08/nursery-is-revealed.html
Or in my living room: http://ababyadogandablog.blogspot.com/2010/08/living-room-transformation.html
Or in any other room in my house since I am a tad bit obsessed with turquoise (and birds).
I love her work. I designed my daughter's wedding around a tulip watercolor of hers.
I love this painting and the color. I also really adore the birds as I am a big bird lover.
WOW Lucky me. My boyfriend and I just bought a house and I was browsing the net to find some inspiration for our interior design. I stumbled across your blog and have been looking at it for hours. I am now following both of you! What beautiful art work...It would go perfect in my new craft room that I am so excited about because I have been living in a teeny tiny apartment for 7 years now and I can't wait to have wall space and a room for my crafts!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I posted on my blog about this awesome site and giveaway as well.

Love the colors and the birdies. =)
Thank for introducing me to this blog/artist. I love her simplicity and bright colors. Reminds me of my mom and her little doodling she would do when I was little.

Turquoise is a very cool and refreshing color. Especially this room; It's bright, breezy, cool and stylish as well. An apartment for rent in Key West has this kind of designs also. They may differ in colors and style but, the apartments for rent (Key West, FL-based) have rooms that we'll gonna love.
Turquoise is such a refreshing color. Whenever I am surrounded by cool colors like this one, I get so relaxed and relieved. I can also remember my grandma with this because it's her favorite color. Right now, she has been in an assisted living in San Antonio, Texas for a couple of years now. She wants to have a care-free and independent life, so I took her there in the assisted living in San Antonio, TX. Gladly, she's living happily there.
Nice home! How I wish I could also have that turquoise thing! It's a cool and refreshing color for a certain part of the house. I want to change my old doors now with cool ornamental iron doors. I hope there are turquoise ones, so it would be nicer for my home.
