HOW TO: DRESS UP YOUR SOFA
It's always refreshing to change the look of a space, especially one that you live in. A simple and inexpensive way to totally change the look of your space is by changing out or adding a few accent pillows. We had fun jazzing up this Anthropologie sofa with these Magpie Fields pillows.

INSPIRATION: WHITE SANDS
Happy Friday everyone - to end this week, I wanted to share with you (as promised) some pics from my trip out West to White Sands National Monument. I discovered White Sands through the Instagram feed of creative genius, Chelsea Fullerton of Go! Forth Creative. Her pictures were captivating and once she told me that this place was only one state away in New Mexico...I had to go. Thanks Chelsea!
These pictures will give you a glimpse of the beauty that can be seen there... honestly, it is the most naturally beautiful place I have ever seen. None of these images have filters or color editing - It still leaves me speechless...
White Sands is acres of natural dunes of gypsum (mineral) that have been dusted off of the mountains and carried by the wind. It's absolutely fascinating...

MAGPIE FIELDS TOTES + CUSTOM SPRAY PAINT
Magpie Fields has been hard at work creating exclusive goods. One of the elements of our branded products is a canvas tote bag that reads "Full of Wonder". The tag line was created to allude to what might be carried in the tote and also to describe who would be carrying the tote.
To add that extra detail - I attempted to make custom spray paint in our very own peachy/blush hue.
How do you make custom spray paint? Simple.

Spray bottle
Fill half of the bottle with water
Fill the other half of the bottle with Rubbing Alcohol
Put drops of Acrylic paint into the bottle. I counted to ten if that helps... but it really depends on the depth of the shade you are trying to achieve.
Shake - test spray to see if its the shade you intended...and there you have it, the perfect mist of paint to have a gradient affect!
Oh yes, so in love with these...

Inspiration in: MARFA, TX
The mister and I recently went out west to find inspiration galore. Final Destination? White Sands National Park First Stop? Marfa, TX. I'm excited to share today pictures from our first stop in Marfa - and what a unique little town it was.
Marfa was a quirky in many ways, and it reminded me of Austin - like this painting, which is seen off of South Congress in Austin as well as off the main drag in Marfa.
This small town was noted to be popularized by artist, Donald Judd, in the late 70's. He was a minimalist and to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City, he bought desert land in Marfa to create standing-to-this-day masterpieces.
Marfa seems to be an international meeting spot for creatives. From Denmark to California, and all cities in between - we met people - some artist and some not - who come to "meet up" and hang out in this small desert town of west Texas.
One of the highlights of the trip was staying at El Cosmico. The creator behind this gem is Liz Lambert - the same creative genius behind the Hotel San Jose, Hotel Saint Cecilia, and multiple locations of Jo's coffee house. El Cosmico is a pristine and well designed lot of vintage airstreams, teepees, and area to pitch tents. It was like living life in back in the day - but in modern day style... an experience that can't be beat.
We were lucky enough to snag the "Kozy Couch" for the night and it was cozy indeed. With the sounds of the night and light breeze streaming through the windows - it was tranquil and quite relaxing. After one night, I was convinced Magpie Fields would need an airstream for the adventures of flea marketing on the US roadways. Right??
By now your probably packing your bags for a trip out to west Texas - and I don't blame you. The sometimes forgotten land of west Texas, has much to explore. Go!
And get excited for next week - I'll share inspirational photos from White Sands... unbelievable, trust me.
Enjoy Marfa! - xo, e
