VOL.25

Sourcing affordable large frames for your artwork

With the purchase of my new printer and finally having the ability to offer large scale canvas art prints in the shop, came the realization that I needed to invest a great deal of my time really researching larger framing options. There are so many beautiful frames out there, but I am choosing to focus on the very affordable ones. This also means that the quality may not be as great as something I would pick up at West Elm or Anthropologie, but affordability being the main focus or driving factor. I'll share those companies here and I am also... Read more →

The Sahara Collection now live!

The Sahara Collection went live last night! Indigo (pictured above) is one of my personal favorites from the Collection. One of the (many) things I enjoy about living where we do, is how well we can see the stars on a clear night. Partly because we're at a slightly higher elevation, but just being away from much of the light pollution seems to allow the stars to stand out and take center stage. Many of the pieces within this collection are celestial inspired. When you pair those with an expansive warm Sahara desert you have what I imagine would be... Read more →

A journey in launching my first wallpaper collection

The dream to launch my own wallpaper collection really started a couple of years ago. I've had a few requests from customers, so I knew there was some interest... and it sounded like such a fun project to work on. The dream didn't start becoming an actual possibility until March when we decided to purchase a larger wide format printer. With this bigger 44" printer I was able to add large scale art to the shop, and I worked for a few weeks on getting all of the listings updated. The large scale art was exciting to be able to...

Now Offering Large Scale Art

A super exciting change for 2018 has been the addition of a new 44" Canon wide format printer. With this printer I can now print up to 44x60." This has allowed me to print larger prints, in 5 additional sizes! Large statement pieces have been getting quite a bit of love in the interior design world of late. I've seen so many great posts showcasing large scale art that really shines. I've wanted to offer larger sizes for several years now, but didn't want to outsource the printing. Starting the studio meant I would have more space for a larger... Read more →

Vol.25 is celebrating 10 years!

It hardly seems possible that my etsy shop and business is celebrating it's 10th year. I've done quite a bit of reflecting this past week. I dug through my archives here on the blog, and it really brought up the emotions. 10 years worth of archives (if you're reading from my shop's blog section jump here to see the original blog) really show just how much my business has evolved over the years. From the year 2008, where blogs were much more personal and I updated on a very consistent basis, to my more recent years where my blog had... Read more →

Introducing the Re-Release of the Fall Collection...

You asked for it, and I listened! For a very small window of time I'm re-releasing a few designs from the Haven Fall Collection. Read more →

Fall Collection will become available for a small window of time...

Last month, I asked my VIP members to vote on which designs they would like to see in the Fall 2017 collection. After going over those votes it was clear that I needed to make part of the Haven Collection available for purchase. But because my new Winter Collection launch date is nearing (mid October!) I have to run this Fall collection through a much smaller window of time. As a result it will be pulled much quicker than any previous Collections I've released. Art from the 2016 Haven Collection in Bre Doucette's living room To work all of this... Read more →

The S.O.S. Studio Project

Somebody pinch me. We are finally creating a separate studio space for VOL.25. It's been a looong time coming. Next January will be VOL.25's 10 year Anniversary. We will be celebrating a decade of sending canvas art all over the country. How awesome is that!? VOL.25 been a wonderful dream come true, but if you've ever worked from home you understand the importance of being able to actually feel like your home and work space are not one in the same. I've powered through over the years and really made the absolute best of what we've had. Our last house... Read more →

Where have I been?

This post is a little personal, but I've really taken comfort from others sharing real life struggles, and I'm hoping sharing my story can help someone else. This year has brought so many struggles and challenges. I've always heard we experience the most growth through the hard times. Gee- is that ever true! I honestly feel like I had fallen pretty low, my health took a turn for the worse and it has taken many many months of prayer, meditation, and self care to finally be getting back to a place of wellness. It all started last Fall, I see... Read more →

Tomorrow will mark a week since the Botanic Collection went live. I haven't been as thorough about keeping the blog updated, so please make sure you jump on as a VIP to receive the most current news. VIP's received the first peek at the new Collection. You can now see the entire collection here: The Botanic Collection This was a fun collection to put out there and I thoroughly enjoyed shopping for props months in advance. :) Now that this Collection has been introduced to the world, I'm at the dreaming stage for my next collection.
