February 18, 2023 by Kathleen Gretz

Are you looking for a rug but nervous about too much pattern? Are you asking yourself if a patterned rug and drapes will clash with each other? It can be a little nerve-racking trying to coordinate these two big design features for any room. But finding rugs that go with my patterns is a walk […]

New Year and Old Loves

January 20, 2023 by Kathleen Gretz

When I first learned to paint in oils, I loved it! I painted realistic pieces, apples, vases of flowers, that kind of thing. But then I fell in love with my Mac and graphics took over my soul! Granted, all of my textile designs start out with a pencil or some black gouache and a […]

January 10, 2023 by Kathleen Gretz

Classic, Romantic, California Style

January 18, 2021 by Kathleen Gretz

Last week I spent some time perusing the fun antique shops in Soquel. Some of the shops are so wonderfully curated and although I’m not a huge fan of using too much vintage in decorating I do believe a couple of pieces go a long way to getting that collected look. I saw quite a […]

Giving for 2021

January 12, 2021 by Kathleen Gretz

It’s so difficult to think about selling and running a business when there’s so much unrest in our country. It’s hard not to feel guilty for having the luxuries of a nice home and a healthy family, let alone food and safety, when others are suffering so. But, at the same time, we can’t give […]

Sweet Escapes

September 1, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

Sometimes all we need is a cozy place to escape to – for just a little while. A quiet corner with some squishy pillows and a good book or magazine to read can be just what the mind and spirit needs. A sweet escape. As a kid I remember ducking into my blanket fort with […]

YouTube and the Beast

July 15, 2020 by Kathleen Gretz

I’ve been finding more and more great tutorials on YouTube. Illustrator tips and tricks, Photoshop stuff, but I could not find a decent vid on how to trim and train my beast of a bougainvillea! I’ve not given up. I’ll get there. It’s just a little daunting. So many thorns! So high up on the […]
