Art & Design of Kelli Murray

Totally inspired by Ma + Chr

An art and design studio based in Paris focusing on many areas, from web to print, interior design & textile.

Here is my Ma + Chr inspired photograph of the day.  Taken a few hours ago at the beach.  Yes, it’s January 3rd and warm enough for my 4 month old to wear a swimsuit and dip her toes in the ocean for the first time.  I love San Diego!

My love for Christmas is almost as big as my love for crafts.  Which is why this time of year is…..well, the best.  These are just a few fun holiday DIY’s and handmade gift ideas i’ve stumbled upon. Time to get crafty!

Thanks for all of your comments on Rylee’s room! It was so much fun and I am glad I finally got around to sharing it with all of you! I also added some more info to the descriptions for those of you who emailed me with more questions!

Just a little bit of winter inspiration today featuring some woodland inspired images I’ve collected this week. Sometimes I wish I lived in a snow filled place during winter because there is something so magical about looking out of the window and seeing snowflakes fall.  But maybe it all seems so “magical” to me because I live in a place that never see’s snow.  I suppose the grass is always greener.  When I was younger, my family would go to Wisconsin to visit my grandparents every other year for Christmas.  A Wisconsin Christmas is quite different than a San Diego Christmas!  Ice skating, snow angels, red noses, Grandpa’s home made maple syrup….mmm, I can smell it now.  I miss those Christmases.  They are some of my best memories.  A year or two from now, when Rylee is a bit older, I want to take her back there to create memories of her own.  Sam’s family is from Minnesota, so I am sure we will have our share of white Christmases over the years.  But this year we will celebrate San Diego style!  Our warm winters are not all that bad

And to announce the winner of my “Hello Dear” print Giveaway:

Shayla from The Inexplicable Rabbit.

Congrats!  And thanks to everyone else for entering! If you are totally bummed (I’m sorry!) and still want this “Hello Dear” print….it is now available to purchase on my ETSY! And even more prints coming soon!

I’ve decided to start an ongoing series of “inspiration” posts all with images and products I am inspired by, or simply like.  Grouped together by a color scheme or common theme (rhyme unintended!).  It’s just that I am always finding things on the web that stop me in my tracks…and I thought why not be regular about sharing some of those things with YOU!?  I won’t promise to do this every single  saturday, because I never seem to follow through with goals for this lil blog of mine….But I do promise it will be ONGOING! Ha…that leaves me a lot of leeway. Hopefully you too will find some inspiration in these posts!

This first one I am calling Cinnamon & Spice.  How delicious is this color palette?  It makes me want to stop what I am doing and bake a pie.  It is in fact the middle of Fall and nothing is better than pie and cider this time of year.  Below are links to where you can find these goodies.  Now really, I am going to go bake a pie!
