If you know me, but at all, you know that my love for peonies runs deep. They’re my absolute favourite flower, so I relish in the month of June when they’re ripe for the picking in my mom’s garden and I can bring a huge bunch back to my place in Toronto. I love putting […]
I’m currently in the process of creating a studio for myself from scratch (exciting!) after moving in out new flat. And while it’s so great to see a space slowly coming together, I don’t love things to be too flat or lacking in personality! This is why I’m having fun finding new creative ways to […]

This blog may contain affiliate links. Oh I love pressed flowers! There’s something about them so charming and elegant. And you might remember me experimenting with pressed flower to create a unique DIY phone case (that was almost one year ago, wow!). Well, I still love the idea of playing around with pressed flowers in DIY […]
It’s not a secret I love fabrics and I’ve always had this passion for any piece of tissue with customized prints. I’ve been meaning to test out this lemon-stamp technique for a while, but wasn’t sure of the technical details to make paint actually stay on my fabric without turning into a big yellow mess […]
Wire signs are being very popular lately, Instagram and Pinterest are so overpopulated by them and they do indeed look very pretty. Especially if they display words or concepts that are close to our hearts and mean something to us. I wanted to give this little DIY project a go for a while, making my […]
I’m sure you’ll have seen grid mood boards already all over Pinterest! I definitely have and have become kind of obsessed with how they look, that I ended up wanting to make my own for my workspace. And being a designer and creative, I always print and sketch so much! I love gathering pretty postcards, […]
Ever since my obsession for knitting started back in Autumn, I began collecting more and more yarns until it became clear I wouldn’t have been able to knit that much during only one Winter! I also discovered the super fun art of making pom poms and, if only you could see my knitting storage basket, you’d say […]
Whether you’re a blogger, a new photographer or just someone who enjoys curating a pretty Instagram feed, I’m sure you’ve wondered at least once in your life how is it that everyone has the prettiest surfaces for photos all the time!

This week, I chatted up Kristen M. Liu! It took all I had not to go full on fan-girl and scare her away. Her fun, naughty paintings are dreamy and electric. Every scene is like peering in on some big secret. She’s humble, she’s determined, and she’s brought to you by me, Nirvtastic. Enjoy! So, we’d […]
In my short adult life in Houston I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know a lot of local artists, and I mean, a lot! Today, though, I want to shed some light on a recent UH graduate, Trevon Latin. His art, inspired by a mix of human interaction and pure fantasy, is both gritty […]
This blog may contain affiliate links. I certainly spend a fair amount of time on Etsy. Don’t we all? It really works that way–suggesting items, like little pieces of candy, leading us down the rabbit hole of hand-crafted treasures… Speaking of rabbits, one evening, I started a search with “cute taxidermy,” and ended up at a felted […]
