When we’re trying to find new inspiration, we head to one of the most creative and inspiring neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas – Deep Ellum. We love to spend the day there exploring the beautiful artistic streets, which means we need to be prepared!

Our first stop before driving into Deep Ellum is dropping by the 7- Eleven on McKinney Avenue to pick up some of our favorite water – LIFEWTR. LIFEWTR is purified and pH balanced, with electrolytes for taste… and yes, you really can taste the difference! Plus, who wouldn’t want to be carrying around one of these expressive and refreshingly beautiful bottles?! Staying hydrated while exploring Deep Ellum by foot is key!

In Deep Ellum you’ll find art and entertainment everywhere you look. Options are endless when it comes to the selection of restaurants, live music venues and art galleries! Focusing in on the art, Deep Ellum is home to some of our favorite murals in Dallas. In fact, Deep Ellum contains the highest density of art walls and graffiti in Dallas! There’s even a mural project that invites artists to paint murals throughout Deep Ellum sharing the history and heritage of the area. Inspiring!

    I fell in the love with the triangle wall in Deep Ellum. So much so, I am reproducing it as a quilt. Do you happen to know the artists name? Or how to find out who painted it?
