We’re Loving This Illustrator’s Vibrant And Whimsical Designs

We recently partnered with Bounty to support emerging artists and designers in a national design competition. The ask? Design a graphic for a new Brit + Co and Bounty paper towel collection themed A Clean Fresh Start, which launches this month. In this creator spotlight series, we are featuring the winners of that competition to learn more about their inspirations, their design process, and their winning Bounty design. Read on to meet…

Lisa Nelson | My Little Buffalo | Holland, MI

What are your design inspirations? I've been home with my kids for several years now, so my greatest inspiration has been children's books. The vibrant colors and quirky illustrations always stick out in my mind. I also love seeing what others create. I'm most moved by unique color choices and a whimsical feel.

Tell us about your design process. The first thing I do is create a spot where I can actually create. I need to be in the right headspace and physical space to do so.
Then I create a color palette that I want to use for a specific illustration. The color usually sets the tone for what I create. Sometimes I am very free flow and just draw to draw; other times I am looking at a subject and meticulously sketching through. I use Procreate and Photoshop for most of my designs. I also am a sucker for a good paint pen, and there are many things in my house that I have attacked with those paint pens. :)

How did you get into illustration? I have always doodled. I always say that doodling is what got me through school. When I graduated college, I took a job at a church where I learned Adobe Illustrator. I fell in love with digital illustration from that point on, and even better, learned you could make an income through it.

What are three IG accounts you love? Three?! I can hardly pick that few, but if I HAVE to they are:
@morganharpernichols, @fullmhouse, and @melanie.johnsson.

How do you know when a piece of art, like your winning Bounty design, is “finished”? After I finish a pattern, I edit it down, take a few things out, maybe do a color change. Once all that has happened, I will usually close my iPad, and take another look later on. If I still like it, it's done enough for me!What will it be like for you to see your design on a Bounty Paper Towel at your local store? For me it will feel like the biggest form of validation as an artist. Self doubt is unfortunately a hurdle that many artists (including myself) have to work through on a regular basis, if not daily. To see my work, packaged and on a shelf, with the knowledge that hundreds will purchase it, is an accomplishment and affirmation that I will cherish. There is a 100% chance that I will be taking a selfie with said shelf. I guess you could consider that a "shelfie" :)


Be sure to look out for Lisa’s winning design wherever Bounty Paper Towels are sold!

Collaboration Hacks Every Small Business Owner Should Know

Verizon
verizon

In our Take 5 series, sponsored by Verizon, we ask women in business about unexpected challenges, their inspirations, recent wins, and how the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program has helped propel their business forward. Here, we meet Therise Edwards, founder/CEO of Teshley Solutions, an education consultancy firm that helps students and families navigate the complexities of the education system K through 12.

What is an unexpected business challenge that you faced and how did you overcome it?

I wouldn't call myself a FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) expert, but I ended up having to know a lot more about it than I ever anticipated. FAFSA is what administers Pell Grants, which is what a lot of colleges base their financial aid on. I knew about the application changes, and some were excellent, but they made a series of critical errors and a lot of parents were scrambling. It was not my intent to have this as my area of focus; it just became a necessity.

What's a recent small win for your business?

Recent small wins are my collaborations. I formed partnerships with one organization that focuses on students with special needs. I hosted a webinar with the executive director of that organization. I formed a partnership with members from an insurance company on planning and paying for college. That was my first corporate sponsorship. And I've got a series of events coming out because others actually reached out to me. One of them I met through another networking platform, but I got to that platform from one of the sessions that I did with Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program.

How did you start to collaborate with external partners?

Just changing my strategies and my approach, and just being more secure and more emphatic in making connections. It ends up being this continual cycle.

Is there a woman in business that you admire or that you look up to?

I have two. Leontyne Anglin, who runs a nonprofit called Beyond Expectations. She works with a small pool of students, but she just gives them enormous exposure and opportunity. She's brilliant with collaborating with individuals and businesses and really bringing the students what they need. And then the other on a bigger scale is Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary, who taught her Business Plan Bootcamp through the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program. She is just a dynamo. She is just so supportive of women entrepreneurs. She's awesome.

How did the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program help propel your business forward?

All of the collaborations and partnerships with the exception of one all came from joining the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program. I’ve taken all of the free classes and the one on projections and pricing, something every entrepreneur struggles with, was very helpful. There have been so many of them. Sometimes you're completely ignorant in a category so you take the class and it's like, okay, that's good to have. But then sometimes you sign up for it and it's like, oh, yeah, I did know 90 percent of that, but this other 10 percent is going to be very, very helpful.

10 Heartwarming TV Shows For ‘Gilmore Girls’ Fans

There are more than a few things to love about Gilmore Girls: strong female friendships, compelling families, romance, the ULTIMATE cozy vibes. Every since time "Where You Lead" starts playing, it's like drinking a huge mug of apple cider, or getting a warm hug from my mom. It doesn't matter how many times I watch the series either, it always makes me feel more relaxed than I did before sitting down.

If you love the Gilmore Girls vibes, and want to find some more comfort shows to add into your rotation (whether you just finished your GG rewatch, or you're craving something familiar yet new), check out these 10 shows like Gilmore Girls! They feel like a warm hug too :).

The best cozy TV shows like Gilmore Girls, for anyone who'd rather be in Stars Hollow.

Sullivan's Crossing (2023) — Streaming On The CW

Fremantle/The CW

Sullivan's Crossing (2023) — Streaming On The CW

Doctor Maggie returns to her hometown of Sullivan's Crossing after a life-altering incident threatens her medical career. Reconnecting with her estranged father, and meeting a handsome new stranger, Maggie has to come to terms with her past while figuring out what her future looks like. This is exactly the kind of cozy series that will fill that Gilmore Girls void in your life — its cozy, loving, small-town vibes will make you feel right at home. And season 2 is streaming this fall!

Sullivan's Crossing stars Morgan Kohan, Scott Patterson Chad Michael Murray, Lynda Boyd, and Tom Jackson.

Firefly Lane (2021) — Streaming On Netflix

Netflix

Just like Sookie and Lorelai, Tully and Kate are inseparable best friends, and the older they get, the stronger their relationship gets. And just like Gilmore Girls, this series covers tons of topics that we all deal with in our own lives: love, loss, and career struggles. Plus it proves just how much strength we can draw from our own relationships!

Firefly Lane stars Katherine Heigl, Sarah Chalke, Ben Lawson, Beau Garrett, and Roan Curtis.

Sweet Magnolias (2020) — Streaming On Netflix

Netflix

We get another small town drama with Sweet Magnolias, which follows lifelong BFF's Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue. The women lean on each other during tough times in their families and their business lives, and just like Gilmore Girls, this show gets you just as invested in the teen plotlines as the adult ones.

Sweet Magnolias stars JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, Heather Headley, Chris Klein, Jamie Lynn Spears, and Justin Bruening.

The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022) — Streaming On Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Studios

If you miss the age of TV where we focused on relationships instead of magic or treasure hunts, then The Summer I Turned Pretty is for you. Belly, her brother Steven, and their mom visit Cousins Beach, and the Fishers, every summer. Belly loves Cousins, but not as much as she loves Conrad Fisher. And her first summer on the island as a young woman is full of dances, romance, and the ups and downs of adolescence.

The Summer I Turned Pretty stars Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman, Rachel Blanchard, and Jackie Chung.

Virgin River (2019) — Streaming On Netflix

Netflix

Nurse practitioner Melinda is looking for a fresh start, and moves from Los Angeles to the small California town of Virgin River. She's hoping to get in tune with life, and herself, again, but as Lorelai and Rory can attest to, small town life is anything but uncomplicated.

Virgin River stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O'Toole, and Colin Lawrence.

Ginny & Georgia (2021) — Streaming On Netflix

Netflix

Nobody does mother-daughter relationships like Gilmore Girls, but Ginny & Georgia comes close. And things between Ginny and Georgia get infinitely more tense when Ginny realizes her mom is hiding a dark secret. The drama has its fair share of cringey moments, but you can't deny how strong its relationships are.

Ginny & Georgia stars Antonia Gentry, Brianne Howey, Scott Porter, Diesel La Torraca, Jennifer Robertson, and Felix Mallard.

Jane The Virgin (2014) — Streaming On Netflix

The CW

Jane Villanueva’s life gets totally turned upside down by an unexpected pregnancy (especially since she's never had sex). But while the revelation throws her romantic life into chaos, it makes her relationships with her mother and grandmother stronger than ever. It totally reminds me of Lorelai and Rory, and will give you the perfect amount of feel good emotions. Just like Gilmore Girls!

Jane the Virgin stars Gina Rodriguez, Justin Baldoni, Andrea Navedo, Yael Grobglas, and Ivonne Coll.

Hart of Dixie (2011) — Streaming On Prime Video

The CW

Doctor Zoe relocates from a big city to the small town of Bluebell (which sounds a little like Lorelai leaving Hartford for Stars Hollow, TBH!). Zoe has to figure out firsthand what life in the South is like, including everything from fake niceties to handsome Southern gentlemen.

Hart of Dixie stars Rachel Bilson, Jaime King, Cress Williams, Wilson Bethel, Tim Matheson, and Scott Porter.

Bunheads (2012) — Streaming On Hulu

ABC Family/Disney

Gilmore Girls fans really need to press play on Bunheads — it was created by GG creator Amy Sherman Palladino and stars Kelly Bishop! The series follows former showgirl Michelle, who leaves the glitz and glam of Vegas to get married and start working at her mother-in-law's small town dance studio.

Bunheads stars Sutton Foster, Kelly Bishop, Julia Goldani Telles, Bailey De Young, and Emma Dumont.

Never Have I Ever (2020) — Streaming On Netflix

Netflix

Rory isn't the only teen trying to find their place in the world. Devi is navigating high school, romance, and her cultural identity as a young Indian-American woman. Oh, and if she could improve her status at school, that would be great too. This show will make you nostalgic for your teen years while also making you grateful you're not in high school anymore.

Never Have I Ever stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Poorna Jagannathan, Darren Barnet, Jaren Lewison, and Richa Moorjani.

7 Instant Home Decor Fixes Top Designers Swear By

'Tis finally fall, and a new season is a perfect time to refresh your home with minor upgrades that don't cost a ton of money. We asked top designers what they think are the most affordable ways to upgrade your home. From a fresh coat of paint to new lighting fixtures to no-cost upgrades, here are the cheapest ways to refresh a room without breaking your decor budget.

#1: Paint

Graham & Brown

Whether you refresh a wall, a whole room, or your front door, paint can dramatically transform your space. "Consider painting your baseboards and ceilings to match your wall color for a truly impactful overall effect," says Kirsten Blazek of LA-based design firm A1000XBetter.

UK-based Graham & Brown announced its Color of the Year 2025: Elderton, a neutral toned brown inspired by nature. Looking for more inspiration? These paint colors are expert-loved for creating a warm, happy home!

"Whether you choose a bold, rich shade or a soft neutral, paint can dramatically change the style and mood of a room without needing any major renovations," echoes Amanda Leigh, cofounder of LA-based design firm House of Rolison. "Plus, it's often a DIY project, making it a simple and budget-friendly way to create a big impact."

Lemieux et Cie

Christiane Lemieux, founder of modern luxury shop Lemieux et Cie, agrees. "Repainting is an affordable way to transform a room by changing its color palette. It refreshes the walls, updates the look, and can make spaces feel bigger, cozier, or more modern, depending on your choice of color."

#2: Lighting

Lemieux et Cie

Statement lighting can also transform your space, from offering a more impactful design aesthetic to better functionality. "Swapping out old or dated lighting fixtures for more contemporary or statement pieces is a cost-effective way to enhance the overall feel of a room," adds Lemieux. This Cheverny Large Chandelier is a gorgeous way to make a statement in your space.

Nils Timm

Design: House of Rolison

Leigh agrees that lighting often gets overlooked, but it's one of the most effective ways to change the feel of a room. "Cool, harsh lighting can feel sterile, while warm, ambient lighting creates a more welcoming and cozy vibe," says Leigh. "Go for energy-efficient LED bulbs with a color temperature between 2500K and 2700K for that perfect glow."

#3: Wallpaper

Lemieux et Cie

"Wallpaper can transform a space by adding color, texture, and personality to walls, creating a more inviting or sophisticated atmosphere," says Taylor Hahn, cofounder of House of Rolison. "It can make a room feel larger, cozier, or more vibrant, depending on the design." Choose a bold pattern or subtle texture, says Leigh. "We love sourcing unique yet cost effective options on Etsy, and other online retailers."

I love this Painterly Labyrinth Wallpaper from Lemieux et Cie!

#4: Hardware

Nils Timm

Design: House of Rolison

"Replacing cabinet and drawer hardware is a small investment with a big payoff," says Lemieux. Upgrade your hardware on kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers for major impact. "This small change can create a cohesive and polished look, transforming even basic furniture or cabinets into something more sophisticated without breaking the bank," says Amr Samaha of Samaha Studio.

#5: Declutter + Organize

Lemieux et Cie

You don't always have to spend money on home upgrades to make a beautiful difference. "Tidying up and removing unnecessary items can instantly make a home feel more spacious, clean, and organized," says Lemieux. Fall in love again with the things that bring you joy. "By editing clutter, you create a more serene and functional space without spending any money." Organized areas can also highlight your home's architecture and design features, she says.

#6: Flooring

Nils Timm

Design: House of Rolison

Whether you choose to remove carpet, sand existing floors, or upgrade your flooring, it can instantly enhance the look and feel of your space. "New flooring can define a room’s style while increasing home value," says Hahn. "It doesn’t have to be expensive either! You can score amazing deals on real wood and tile from flooring warehouses, overstock sales in showrooms, or even offer up and Facebook marketplace!" she adds.

#7: Rearrange Furniture

Lemieux et Cie

Before you spend a dime upgrading your space, look around and see how your furniture can function better in a room. "Simply moving your furniture around can dramatically change the flow and perception of a space," says Lemieux. "You can improve the room's functionality, make it feel more open, and even highlight natural lighting. Rearranging is entirely free but can breathe new life into your home."

Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
