The Wellington primary bedroom reveal 🤍
A space designed to quiet the mind and slow the pace.

Hand-painted by the talented @lizallison, this mural softly wraps the room in layers of story and serenity. Muted sepia tones, a winding river, and a dreamlike woodland scene create a backdrop that feels both timeless and deeply grounding.

We’ve always believed the primary bedroom should feel like a true retreat—a place to exhale at the end of the day. This mural does exactly that, blurring the line between art and environment and turning the room into something immersive, intentional, and deeply restful.

Not just a wall treatment—an experience.

Our cottage kitchen in Country Living! So honored to see my love of interior design, ceramics, murals, and antiquing all woven into one story. A creative life knows no bounds.

Side note, this was photographed on the hottest day in August, naturally. Thank you to the team at @countrylivingmag

Paint during the day, twirl in medieval castles at night 🌙 by @lizallison

The opposite of anxiety isn’t calm, it’s creativity. This painting worship has nourished my soul. ❤️‍🩹

Failure is your friend. And art and baseball have a lot in common.

Let me rewind. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned about creativity came from a teacher…11 years ago.

I remember showing him about ten canvases I’d made. He pointed out that I seemed to expect all ten to be successful and that was an unrealistic expectation.

Ooof. That stung a little. Then he offered an analogy that changed the way I thought about making art.

A baseball player who gets a hit three times out of ten is doing really well. You don’t step up to the plate expecting a home run every time.

And yet, as artists, we can work on ten paintings and somehow expect all ten to be great “home runs.”

That’s an impossible standard.

That conversation a decade ago changed everything for my art journey… it gave me permission to make bad art. And, strangely enough, giving myself permission to make bad art helped me make better art.

When every canvas doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, you can experiment. Try the strange color. Paint over something. Follow an idea that might not work. Stop protecting yourself from the possibility of getting it wrong.

Knowing you’re going to fail sometimes frees you to take creative risks. And those risks can open doors that perfectionism keeps shut.

Some ideas won’t work. Some paintings will be terrible. Some opportunities won’t lead anywhere. Some things you think will define your future will eventually matter very little.

Make them anyway. Failure is your friend.

(Also. I knew nothing about baseball before this analogy. So yay sports?!!!)
