LIFE


Hmmmm... choices, choices, which one to choose?
I would love to choose the simple but I never fail to
choose the extremely complicated!

Denyse Schmidt Quilts


I had to share my favorite quilts with you all, they are fresh, modern, yet still have a homemade farmhouse feel to them. Looking at these quilts always inspires me to look past the usual and get excited to create something extraordinary!


Denyse grew up in central Massachusetts. Growing up during a depression, both parents made things instead of buying and at a young age Denyse started making things as well. She studied graphic design at Rhode Island School of Design and about 10 years ago began her business.

The studio is located in a historic factory building in Bridgeport CT.

They even have a line called DSbaby for the nursery... check it out here!

and fabrics for sale, plus patterns for you to attempt your own quilt or project!


and last but not least, a line of paper goods, neat right!?

Hope you enjoyed looking at a few of the beautiful quilts I enjoy so much. Check out her website here for many, many more patterns and color ways.

Its Complicated


I am sure you recognize these pictures as the set design to one of my favorite movies, "Its Complicated". I LOVE this design, so homey and laid back casual. The movie is from director- writer Nancy Meyer who is famous for her movies but also her sets. The designer/ decorator Beth Rubino did a fabulous job and I love studying the pictures. This is "old" news in the design world, however I would still like to share. Enjoy some of my favorite pictures below!
