Feature Friday with Oleander + Palm

We did it, we did it!  I started a monthly series and I actually was about to see it though the entire year, yay!  Welcome to my Feature Friday series.  As I’ve now said 12 other times, DAILY, I am inspired by so many creative and talented bloggers, so on the last day of each month I interview one of my favorites in a Feature Friday!  This month, I am sharing my sweet friend Jeran a little early so as to not conflict with Christmas.

December 2015 . Feature Friday with Oleander + Palm
Jeran’s blog Oleander + Palm started popping up on my radar sometime in early 2014.  I distinctly remember seeing a post about her living room via someone else’s blog… I still remember it.  She had just put up triangle decals on one wall and there was a stunning emerald green leather chair with pops of creative emerald green here and there.  I was in love… and I think I left a scary stalker comment about loving her home too much (ha).  Little did I know I left it on the other person’s blog.  I was such a newbie.

Jeran is a modern maker and she loves vintage finds, handmade pieces and global inspiration. Her style is always spot on and I think you will love her, just like I do!  Friends, let me introduce you to Oleander + Palm!

I asked Jeran eight simple questions.
(please pin from the original source)

1. Where did you grow up and where do you live now?

I was born in Canada, but I grew up in Papua New Guinea.  We moved there when I was in the 2nd grade and I lived there till I graduated from High School.  Now we live in California.  Our family has lived overseas a couple times.  We’ve lived in Papua New Guinea and Yemen, but California always calls us back.

2. How would you describe your personal aesthetic?
Hmmmm, that’s tough to define. I would say my style reflects my love of modern shapes, vintage finds and global treasures. I love natural, earthy tones and lots of texture.
3. If you could move into a home decor store which would it be?
I’d probably have to say West Elm. I love their natural fibers, subtle patterns, midcentury shapes and quirky vintage inspired decor pieces.

4. Do you have “go-to” colors?  If so, what are they?
Green and Grey! As a red head, I was raised with a love of the color green. Grey is my go-to neutral, it’s in every room of my home.  Oh and I’m a huge fan of graphic, bold black and white.

5. Do you always DIY or is buying sometimes better?
For me, it comes down to budget, so I DIY a lot!!! But, I also love to thrift. There’s some really great junk out there and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. I love that DIYing and thrifting gives my home a unique look.

6. What is one of your favorite projects?  Please share a little bit about it.

I’ve a got a couple faves.  This room is one of my favorites because I was given total creative freedom.  I also loved styling and photographing these fresh fruit pieces.  I guess I love to be pushed creatively.

7. Which is your favorite social media platform and why?

INSTAGRAM!!!! I’m such a visual person. I love being able to flip through images. I also love playing with composition and defining my style on this platform.

8. Is blogging your profession or just a hobby?

It’s my full-time job.  Ha, I don’t have time for hobbies, I’m too busy making things for the blog. It’s a pretty great job to have.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, Jeran!  And if you are loving Oleander + Palm like I am, be sure to stop by and send her a hello from me!
