Gallery Wall Additions

I've been looking for another addition to the ever-expanding gallery surrounding my TV. Here are a few pieces that have caught my eye recently...

Kate Miss | Big Sur

Michael Cina | SPC-71

 Julia Kostreva | Night Flowers

Laura Dro | Watercolor Floral Illustration

Currently No. 1

I remember Cameron Crowe talking about making mixtapes when he was younger, how they were capsules of his mood, interests, and taste. It's always so interesting to flip back through pages pulled from magazines or old blogs posts.

Here are a few things currently on my mind...

(1) Halona Glass Arrow Tail Suncatcher  (2) Savon de Marseille Extra Pur Liquid Soap
(3) Chinese Laundry D'Orsay Flats  (4) Fieldguided Vu de l'Extérieur Print
(5) Modernica Case Study Planter with Stand  (6) Brilliant Earth Rose Gold Diamond Studs

September Resolutions

My shopping spree didn't go all that well in New York, so I splurged and bought a new flatscreen television and a Breville Juicer. Now I get to rework my gallery wall, buy a few new prints, and gold leaf some frames. I'll also be heading to the Farmer's Market to stock up on end of summer produce and get juicing.

Do you feel inspired with the pending season change?

Romantic and eclectic in Madrid or streamlined and graphic in Greenwich Village?

Interior Inspiration

I used to think that I loved mid-century modern. However, I have found that Pinterest not only allows you to track all your inspiration but also to hone your taste and pull together a collective vision, if you will. (I know I talk obsessively about Pinterest.) It's been interesting to see many of my favorite interiors are actually quite traditional, but remain modern through crisp whites and clean lines.

Interior Inspiration: Large Scale Photographs

Although I have been a fan of salon or gallery walls in the past, I have recently been drawn to the more dramatic large scale photographs.  They fill the space in a much more minimalist way and allow for a more dramatic expression of the subject.  Gallery walls can be great if you have a lot of smaller art collected over the years, but I think it's great to invest in some large scale pieces, as well.

PysarArt on Etsy

I admire anyone with the tenacity to run an Etsy shop.  Yuri Pysar's ethereal paintings evoke the fleeting beauty of a dancer's movement.  Lovely indeed.

Interior of the Week

Canopy beds are just lovely, they add fill the space and make a great visual impact.  I'm also loving these abstract prints.

Interior of the Week

I love this relaxed bedroom, complete with a seating area, warm wood tones, soft creams, and a gallery wall.  A lovely place to kick up your heels at the end of the day.

Have a Lovely Weekend!

The best thing about winter is definitely the food, especially Cara Cara oranges, I'm obsessed. . .

Here are a few links from the week:

So, so, so excited that Boise is hosting U.S. vs. Serbia Davis Cup Quarterfinals!

The best thing about The Bachelor is the post-show blogging; my favorites include Lincee Ray, Jen Frase, and Accept the Rose

I love the ease of this vignette with the flat screen television mixed into the gallery wall and the amazing green console below.  Very chic.

Jessica Decker + Kollabora Giant Cross-Stitch

How great are these giant cross-stitch kits from Jessica Decker + Kollabora?  They would add a quick and easy graphic art piece to any wall.  The giant anchor is fantastic.

Holstee Manifesto

Have you read the Holstee Manifesto?  I know manifestos tend to be cheesy, but they can also give some needed inspiration and are a good reminder to re-prioritize occasionally.

Do you remember the Aardvark Manifesto?

Kari Herer Botanical Photography

Loving the Etsy shop of Kari Herer, her botanical photography avoids being twee and is moody and striking instead.

Interior of the Week

I'm still tracking down all the pieces to pull my living room together.  It definitely takes time and finesse to make a room cozy, but not cluttered.

Heath Ceramics

How could you not love ceramics from one of the few remaining mid-century American potteries?  These beauties from Heath Ceramics are made in Northern California and make lovely gifts.
