My son is now six and he is still madly in love with dinosaurs. Our old nursery paint color was a warm yellow. I showed my son a few color options and he chose Fleur de sel by Sherwin Williams. It's a beautiful soft gray. I chose it in an eggshell to create more reflection since it's one of the darkest rooms in the house. Gray is a great color for a boy or girl bedroom and it allows the colorful bedding and toys to really pop. I added my dinosaur print paintings above his bed and repositioned the furniture. He loves it and he calls it his condo. My prints are available for purchase in my Etsy shop - Rice Rafferty.

I absolutely love painted brick. I’ve been seeing more of it every day on shows like Fixer Upper on HGTV. I don’t have the guts to paint the whole front brick facade of my house though. I painted the three sides of my house Oyster Bay by Sherwin Williams last Spring and I love it! It’s so tranquil. I live in Saint Johns, FL so I really enjoy the coastal vibe this color brings. I’ve been filling in caulking and retouching little details and I noticed this red brick step under my garage side door. This grout job was done by somebody years ago and it really sticks out like a sore thumb. The red brick color felt very out of place. I painted it Oyster Bay so it would blend in with the wall and look richer. I just did a light dry brushing. I’m so happy I decided to take the risk and paint it. Painting this small brick detail really helped to continue to modernize the house and add curb appeal. When I drive up my driveway every day it now brings a smile to my face. That's exactly what design should do for us. <br />

One of my favorite things about being a mom is teaching my son how to make art. We have so much fun painting and drawing together. It’s also very important to me to use recyled materials. I noticed that our doormat was looking very worn and I started to hunt for new designs, then I thought why don’t I just paint it. I started painting the doormat myself with acrylic paints like a mosaic. Brady saw what I was doing and he decided to join the fun. He started to smear the paint and mix the colors. I actually really loved his method. Kids have a way of creating that is so free and exploratory. After the design is complete spray with a clear UV Acrylic Coating. Enjoy!

I went to Charleston a few years ago. We stayed at the Mills House in town. I highly recommend it. There was a beautiful courtyard and so many historic details. We were steps away from strolling the gorgeous streets of Charleston. Some of my favorite things about Charleston are: shrimp and grits, historic details, alleyways, cobblestone streets, iron pineapples, gaslights, fountains, Rainbow row, carriage rides, marshlands, and beautiful beaches. Does it get any better than that?<script type="text/javascript"><!--

I was just looking back through my photo albums and realized I never shared Brady's nursery with you. He's two now, but I thought it would be fun to share. It's amazing how everything is so clean and perfect. It's definitely different now with a toddler, haha. <br />

I wanted a gender neutral nursery with all white furniture for his room since there's not a lot of light in his room. My in-laws kindly gifted us his changing table and cabinet and crib. I wanted an eclectic feeling with nostalgic items from my childhood room and my husbands. The vintage Mickey Mouse mobile that plays "when you wish upon a star" was from my nursery and the wall hanging is from my husband's childhood room (his mom made it for him). I added organizing systems with the wall shelf and hanging baskets. <script type="text/javascript"><!--

I didn't want to totally gut the bathroom. I found a tile at Florida Design Works on Phillips Highway in Jacksonville, FL that matched the marbled style of my bathtub perfectly. I also fell in love with the concept of a riverstone tile for the floor. I found a style that coordinated and then we started the project! It was amazing how quickly the project came together. The shower is one of our favorite updates to the house. I later painted the walls Oyster Bay by Sherwin Williams to coordinate better with the cobblestone floor. Our bathroom now feels like a zen spa. It's also very kid friendly. We're so happy with it! <script type="text/javascript"><!--

We're so excited to celebrate 300 sales on Etsy! Woo hoo! We first created our Etsy shop in September of 2009 in the middle of the financial crisis...why not, right?! I remember posting three listings and I naively thought they were going to sell immediately. When you're competing against thousands of other shops you need to stand out. I didn't understand then about how to properly photograph and market my product for online sales. We slowly began improving our photography skills, learning through trial error and making sales. I mainly worked on Rice Rafferty at night while I worked a full time graphic design job. My 10 years of working design experience plus all of my knowledge from working on Rice Rafferty has taught me SO much.<br />
<br />
Our accessory designs led us on the path of designing wedding veils and bridal hair adornments. We participated in fashion shows at Buffalo State College and in St. Augustine, FL, Love Your Mother Fashion show. We feel so grateful to have been published in Well Wed Magazine, The Buffalo Spree, Saint Johns Magazine and The St. Augustine Record. Our journey has led us to meeting so many amazing people and vendors.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm a full-time mom, we've expanded our product line to marketing services, home decor (printable art), party decor (printable graphics), and textile designs (fabric, wallpaper, wrapping paper). I feel like I've come full circle. Working on art projects with my son has really inspired me. I love to watch how he is totally in the moment while he's creating art. My goal is to create accessories and art that bring joy and inspire you. <br />
<br />
Thank you so much for supporting us! We're so exciting for the projects ahead!<br />

You might have noticed I've been MIA this past year. Last September I gave birth to my son and I've been watching him grow leaps and bounds ever since. He brings me so much joy. It feels like we just brought him home from the hospital. For his one year birthday we had a little party with family and a few friends. I wanted it to be special to commemorate the occasion.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so we decided that would be the perfect theme. I made all the decorations (handmade tissue paper flowers, flag banner, signs, cake topper, etc) and my mom helped me prepare the food and she made his Brady's birthday banner for his high chair (the chair is a family heirloom). My husband was busy with the landscaping. Brady just started walking a week before his first birthday and hasn't stopped since. Since I'm a designer I knew that I wanted unique personal touches for his decorations. I chose the color scheme red, yellow and black. I wanted polka dots, colors, and touches of Mickey Mouse silhouettes to give the suggestion of mickey and a few images of Mickey Mouse, of course! It was a very special day that we'll never forget!<br />

After working all day and being pregnant it leaves very little energy to cook dinner. I decided I wanted to make a fresh salad with some grilled chicken. I wanted the chicken to be very flavorful, so I mixed up a honey mustard marinade. I mixed <b>dijon mustard</b> (old style whole grain for some texture) and a spoonful of honey. I used my <b>Deni meat tenderizer</b> on the chicken and placed the tenders in my marinade for about 20 minutes. I grilled the chicken until lightly golden brown and placed over a bed of fresh spinach leaves, tomatoes, and some croutons. The chicken was so flavorful that I didn't even need a salad dressing. Yum! I know this is super simple, but not every dinner needs to take 2 hours to prepare. Even my hubby loved it. There were zero leftovers. :)<script type="text/javascript"><!--

There's such a cozy feeling when you walk through the store and I find myself feeling very inspired and relaxed. One of the major things that makes Anthropologie so inviting are the candles. Not only is the aroma heavenly, the candle jars are so pretty. Reuse the jars as a container for jewelry or special keepsakes. <script type="text/javascript"><!--

Home renovations can be extremely expensive, so I am slowly updating little details around the house. PAINT is the fastest, most cost effective way to add a fresh look to your home.<script type="text/javascript"><!--

Our house had renters in it before us, so when we moved in EVERY room needed painted. The task of choosing paint when we barely had furniture was a bit daunting. My husband and I spent weeks discussing paint colors and decided on the neutral color <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/frappe">AF-85 Frappe by Benjamin Moore</a>. We liked that it has a warm yellowish glow, but more like a tan than a yellow. We painted (with the help of our parents and in laws) our living room, dining room, husband's office, and hallways Frappe. </div>

Next, I painted our additional bedrooms. I painted the guest bedroom a beautiful pale blue - <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/breathoffreshair">Breath of Fresh Air by Benjamin Moore</a> and my studio <a href="http://www.glidden.com/Color/Rooms-By-Color/Living-Rooms/LivingRoominBelgianWaffle">Glidden - Belgium Waffle</a>. The pale blue creates a relaxing oasis for our guests and for my studio the Belgium Waffle color gives the room a nice warmth while I'm working hours into the night.</div>

We just bought a house in Florida several months ago. Being a homeowner is a dream come true! It's way more work than living in an apartment, but it's worth it. It's nice to add your personal style of decorating to your living space, but expenses can really add up. We did a few cost effective updates that really breathed new life into our space.<br />
<br />
Our house is traditional with a modern flare, so I wanted to keep this theme throughout the decorating process. I also wanted a beach vibe since we live a half hour from the ocean. Pictured above is our guest bathroom before and after. When we moved in, the wallpaper was peeling off, the drains were busted, the air vents were rusted, and the ceiling was stained. I dewallpapered, painted the ceiling and painted the walls soft sage. My husband and Dad installed the new light fixtures yesterday. I love blue and green colors in bathrooms. It gives the room a nice clean fresh feeling. Next, I plan to paint the cabinets a lighter wood stain. Stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Lights - Lowes - allen + roth 3 light merington brushed nickel bathroom vanity light<br />
Paint - Walls - Glidden - Soft Sage - semi gloss paint<br />
Kilz Primer Paint <br />
Paint - Ceiling - Ceiling White <br />
Shower Curtain - Marshalls<br />
Vase - Terrain - Sofie Conran<br />
<br />
Total cost: less than $250 <br />

One of my all time favorite television shows, Veronica Mars, was cancelled only after three seasons, but thanks to its loyal fans it's now a movie! Veronica Mars is about an intelligent and sarcastic young woman who strives to fight against the corruption in her Southern California hometown when her best friend was murdered. She is a teenage detective who works on cases as small as missing dogs to murder cases. The stories always have me on the edge of my seat. The film raised over 5 million dollars on kickstarter by its fans to make the movie. You can buy the movie <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Veronica-Mars-Movie-Blu-ray-UltraViolet/dp/B00HEQOAQ8">here</a> or check out the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_13?url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv&field-keywords=veronica%20mars%20season%201&sprefix=veronica+mars%2Cmovies-tv%2C304">entire series</a>.<br />

I prefer the designs by Carol Ann Rice Rafferty. Her dresses are made from up cycled coffee filters. Which do you prefer? <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ricerafferty?section_id=11913983&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2">https://www.etsy.com/shop/ricerafferty?section_id=11913983&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2</a><br />

She wanted a winter wedding with all custom accessories. We designed her long curly veil, garter, flower headbands for her flower girls and corsages for her grandmother's. We're in awe of the beautiful photographs from her wedding day. December is definitely a beautiful time of the year to get married with all of the beautiful Christmas trees, lights, and decorations. If you're interested in any of these designs please visit our website <a href="http://www.ricerafferty.etsy.com/">www.ricerafferty.etsy.com</a> or <a href="mailto:info@ricerafferty.com">email</a> us!<br />

Our curly veil style is 100% hand cut and hand sewn. One of the best
things about this veil is it looks gorgeous with ANY dress style -
short, long, sheath or ballgown. The curly veil style is the perfect
way to add a little personality to your wedding look. </div>

Maureen chose a pouf style veil - layers of tulle and russian netting <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/103993452/large-pouf-veil-tulle-and-russian">https://www.etsy.com/listing/103993452/large-pouf-veil-tulle-and-russian</a>. The pouf veil is a very easy to wear style that works with ANY bridal gown style. We made a blusher of russian netting and a custom hair adornment that Maureen designed. <br />

A few weekends back I went to visit my parents in Buffalo, NY. My mom's artwork was in the new art exhibit at the Burchfield Penney Art Museum - Art in Craft Media. My mom's art deals with her recent experience with breast cancer. Breast cancer used to be a death sentence, but thanks to modern medicine breast cancer is one of the most treatable cancers now, but going through the process of treating cancer is no easy task. I really admire her strength. Creativity, art making, and the support of friends helped her to cope. Her artwork in the show was a sculptural dress made from upcycled coffee filters and cancer cell images. I'm so proud of her! </div>

We're in the golden age for television. Television shows have become almost more popular than movies. TV shows allow the writers to work on character development and the viewer get to enjoy the series like a book - watch it all at once or keep going back to it at different times. We get to continue on the writer's journey of the world they create. </div>

One of my favorite things about TV today is the viewer's have the ability to express their love for a series. As you know Arrested Development was canceled too soon and Netflix has released a new season of the show. Veronica Mars was sadly canceled about 10 years ago and now they're making a movie! </div>

Last week I heard Bunheads, one of my favorite shows on television, was canceled. Amy Sherman-Palladino's writing is very unique. I love her smart and politically savvy writing with its quick humorous banter. If you're a fan I suggest you vote for the series, writer to ABC, and maybe even ask Netflix to bring the series back. Don't give up hope! Your opinion counts!</div>

<span class="userContent">For Fall 2013, it's all about rich colors,
ornate artistic arrangements, and mixed textures. A statement pin is a
great way to stay on-trend without breaking the bank. Add the pin on a blazer, sweater, or on a purse to create a different look.<br /> <br /> Shop here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fshop%2Fricerafferty%3Fsection_id%3D6579570&h=LAQH5S9TB&enc=AZNbiv_vSzTiWwk9EGIXMe9oawQtkTOyU56quVE_YQPKKynl54TsdSF2hbxDIgpete2_d9y_CV6lEn7NzU-K9_mZirXnmguIS0tZt5-ustbTr2Pf1T6uFHn6q2FsiUydjkvKE8EmeUNIU8YhqQ00eT_N&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.etsy.com/shop/ricerafferty?section_id=6579570</a></span>Kara Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18042300635861867270noreply@blogger.com0
