PIN PALS :: ARTISTIC INFLUENCE

Time for another round of my favorite matchup game with some goodies I’ve discovered on pinterest recently where art and some pretty cool pieces have collided… I don’t mind a little rock collecting, but let’s be honest here – what girl wouldn’t want to be showered in gems on a daily basis!? Traditional woven wall hangings [...]

IMM STYLED (AND YOU CAN BE TOO!)

If there’s one thing I could do all day, it’s styling. When I was a merchandiser, I would spend hours perfecting one vignette, and my home is just the same (especially when it comes to my bookshelves – don’t even get me started on those!). So, naturally, I had a blast working with IMM living on [...]

    I always LOVE how you put together a room. I have to say I’m torn between the horseshoe and the scorpion! The horseshoe is such a cute addition to your wall art like it belongs there. I also agree that the scorpion gives your dresser a cute edge to it without being gaudy! Love love love all the choices you selected!

      The scorpion ring holder stings yes! We are one in the same in a astrological sense – sign me up. The anchor would be my second choice as nautical provides a relaxing sense – you can almost smell the salt water just having one present in a room.

    I love, love, love that horseshoe! Such a glam take on the age old good luck symbol. I love all your picks, though!

    What a great little giveaway! I love the way you incorporated the horseshoe with your other art, and I would love to have one for myself!
    I also went and looked at the website — I LOVE the Trophy White Board. Adorable!

    Love the balloon dog bookend! We are on the hunt for some great bookends for the new built-in bookcase we had installed last week! Also, I love your Jennifer Ament art wall. I’m almost positive I discovered her work through you, and I’m so thankful I did – the dog print of hers that we bought reminds us so much of our own lab!

    Waiting for for spring and summer to come each year can be painful…THE ANCHOR BOTTLE OPENER is my favorite. It would certainly help keep those beautiful summer memories around longer.

    All fun pieces! My favorite is the balloon dog bookend! It’s a great reminder to have fun and not take life so seriously.

    It’s hard to pick between gorgeous and fabulous but I love the horseshoe. I love that lucky little number. Keeping those lucky fingers crossed.

    Love it ALL, but if I had to pick JUST one, it would be the sweet balloon canine! Since I’m a sucker for rescued animals AND because my decor is generally lacking in the whimsical, I’d adopt him any day. Nice job, by the way!

    The anchor bottle opener is definitely speaking my love language. Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful giveaway.

    I can’t decide between the porclein canisters (perfect for my room!) and the scorpion ring holder (I am a Scorpio after all…) Such fun stuff!

    I love all your vignettes. I think my favorite, though, is your salon style wall. The horseshoe looks like it’s belonged there forever! It’s great to mix up 3-D pieces with different sizes of artwork….I’d love to incorporate the horseshoe on one of my walls! Thanks for sharing…

    I adore the fox mirror (as well as the balloon doggie of course)!

    Where did you find the gold polka dot glasses? I’ve been looking for a set forever!

    I’m not going to lie, the scorpion ring holder is to DIE for! The word “fierce” could not be more appropriate!

    I love that Scorpion ring holder! I have inherited tons of rings from my mom and I am always looking for places to put them where they are visible.

ART AFTER MY HEART

Pawel Mendrek saatchi

Since being back from South Africa, I’ve been thinking more about art. While we were there, we spent a bit of time in some galleries, and it reminded me how much I’d love to start investing in some pieces again. When I first moved into my apartment, I spent hours favoriting pieces of art on [...]

    Art is one of those things that when it speaks to you…it just does and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. It’s not an area where you are supposed to be rigid. Love these pieces.

I warned you that the gift guides were coming out in full effect, didn’t I? Well today, we’ve got one that I put together with some of my favorite modern pieces featured on Art.com… Modern can mean so many things when it comes to art, don’t you think? Considering the history of art, modern goes [...]

A GROUP(ING) EFFORT

todd romano living room blue josef albers art

While one large piece of art can make a nice impact in a room, you’ve gotta mix things up. For me, I always liked the way a series of artwork looked in living rooms… like these! So, I thought I’d put together a few series of artists work that I’ve been a bit enamoured with [...]

A PERFECT PAIR :: GRAPHIC + ANIMAL

leopard stools + stripe painting  Sally Wheat Interiors

In the past few weeks, I’ve saved both of these images to my inspiration files, and it was only today that I noticed the obvious connection… The combination of a haute little leopard print with modern printed art in faded hues is right up my alley and (thankfully!) an easy one to recreate! Finding a small [...]

    I love the prints in those photos!! Such a great way to show color & use the animal print as a neutral.

    I love your blog! We definitely have very similar tastes, especially in decor. The abstract art with leopard print is a wonderful combination, and I know I’ve seen the artwork you featured in the second photo. Do you know what issue of Elle Decor it was in? Or, do you happen to know who the artist is? Thank you so much, and keep inspiring!

ART + COLOR :: A LOVE STORY

rothko prints art.com

Art is one of the most personal things out there. Who knows what it is in an image – whether a photograph, painting, graphic design or otherwise – that moves us. But we know it when we feel it – right? Kind of like love. We usually have a ‘type’ we’re drawn to, but every [...]

    what do you mean you’re no artist? people say this, but I don’t know what the phrase means. I think your paintings are beautiful– give yourself some credit, girl!

    Love this post. To me, there might be no one greater than Rothko…at least as far as abstract expressionism goes. His paintings are truly emotional pieces. And simply beautiful! PS…my humble opinion is that you, indeed, are an artist…
