Hey everyone! Why not start off the New year wearing pretty jewelry? Just arriving to my shop, super cute rope bracelets with gold lettering! The rope bracelets come in 4 different colors with either "love", "faith", or "dream" in gold! These are great layered together or stacked with other bracelets!

Above is my assistant, Daisy, wearing her "love" rope bracelet in black & her Kiss Bracelet!

Cocoa & Hearts News

Hey guys ! Welcome back...I swear, it was so nice to get some rest this weekend, I totally needed it. My chiropractor told me that I needed to get off my computer to help my BACK PAIN...seems like ours computers are our worst enemies at times, know what I mean?!??

Hope you all had a great few days as well! As for me, I've been working on some commissions with a few clients - here is one I did yesterday for a client's home office. She wanted a combination of blush pinks & gold mainly. I love the way it turned out, how about you??

I'm still working on a few more but should be available to start more commissions around October 25th or so. If interested email me with size of painting you'd like & colors you prefer to see. If you're unsure of style, visit my gallery at Cocoa & Hearts.

Also - more paintings to be added as well to the gallery toward the end of this month!

Design: Art Inspired Room

Good morning everyone! I'm Katie from H2 Design.  I am thrilled to be one of the new decor contributors over here at the MadeByGirl blog. 


What you will find about me, is that when it comes to interiors, I am a huge fan of mixing it up! No matching furniture sets, please! So, let's put this idea to work! And what better way to start than by styling a room around one of Jen's smaller paintings available through Cocoa and Hearts, right? 

I have always loved the palettes Jen creates, not to mention her skills at creating a stylish vignette! Honestly, the hardest part was choosing a favorite! But after a bit of deliberating, I chose Colors 189, featuring a bright fuchsia, royal blue, sandy buff, creamy white, and golden yellow.

Now on to the decorating...

1 / Let's start with a little bling.

2 / Add some timeless comfort and a large dosage of color.

pillows (from left to right) via AriannaBell, Zinc Door, Anthropologie, MarthaAndAsh, AriannaBell

3 / Of course, every room needs an iconic modern splash.

4 / A comfy spot to get a little work done (or just to catch up on some online design blogs!).
Glass Rounded Table Lamp via abc home
Raymond Desk via Jayson Home
Claude Dining Chair via Jonathan Adler
Vintage Books Box Set via Anthropologie

5 / A little something to warm your feet.
Agadir Twists Rug via Anthropologie

6 / And last, but certainly not least, we all need a bit of vintage charm.

Wasn't that easy! Until next time everyone... Happy decorating!
