naturally beautiful walls

n a t u r a l l y  b e a u t i f u l   w a l l s !

american earth clay plasters are a natural, environmental way to finish any interior.  non-toxic and made in the usa, these plasters are an alternative to paint, wallpaper, cement, acrylic and gypsum based plasters.     take a peek...  americanclay.com

i have been seeing these beautiful walls all over the pages of my favorite design magazines + design blogs.  i have always considered this kind of plaster as very tuscan style (which is not my style).  i have new inspiration now.  taking an ancient art and making it look fresh and modern. oh ya... here is an example of plaster i love right now!!!!

b l a c k !

this weekend i took an awesome class on "how to" mix, and apply american clay with Heith Enlgand from sustain interiors- a local source for eco-friendly interior finish product.  + i have been working a little bit with consulting for them on interior styling.  please take time to visit the showroom... tell them jessica sent you!  if you need help editing through all the materials, choosing a fresh color palette, and bringing it all together beautifully-- contact me.  XO  jessica

with H E A V Y rain comes the responsibility to find creative things to do inside. 
what i decided to do was paint one of our interior walls with chalboard paint so that we can have our own custom in house photo studio.   our props today are these two reclaimed chairs, our new black wall, fresh chalk + imagination.

here is a look at what we did today!  LOVE it. 
my kids are RAD.  they love creating art as much as i do.
