The Knitty Gritty

My friend is going to love this post. Kimberly is a fantastic knitting and crocheting machine and we are planning many future collaborations for Cultural Chic. So when I found this lovely article on Freshome.com, I couldn't wait to share it with her and you;0)

I think these pieces are simply magnificent. It never occured to me to incorporate knitting and crocheting on such a large scale. When I think of enhancing spaces with kneedlecraft, it's usually in the form of rugs or throws. But furniture?!

Below are creations of some very talented kneedlecraft designers. I'm sure that you and Kimberly will be very pleased with the results of their labor.

Enjoy, Mon Ami!

Global Inspiration

Hello all!

Considering the fact that I am looking to leave the country next year for a short vacation, I feel it only appropriate that I open my inspiration series with beautiful apartments from around the world.

This 57 Square-Meter Duplex With Slanting White Walls hails from Stockholm. I just thought this was the most innovative way to decorate a spacially-challenged dwelling. Plus you really can't go wrong with black against white. The natural wood accents really take it up a notch. I like, I like! What about you?

Please Forgive and Welcome to Cultural Chic!

Hello, all.

I'm not even going to get deeply into where I've been or what's been going on. Just know that I've been working feverishly (in my brain at least) at what I wanted to do with this blog. As you well know, I love to draw and write(duh?) and I've already said that I was changing the focus of Positively Lovely to incorporate home decor, interior and accessories design. So, as I contemplate creating my own line of accessories and implementing my own online empire, I've decided to change the name of this blog to incorporate what what I see in it's future.

Drum roll, please....Welcome to Cultural Chic! Where I showcase my creations and the things that inspire me to create.

I know it's been strange and I've been MIA far too long. I want to thank those of you who have been returning, waiting for something to elevate your creative juices. And a big thank you to those who have liked me and followed my fan page on facebook, (which I must also change).

So continue to join me on my creative journey and let's discover something fabulous together!
