I know, I know these prints are EVERYWHERE but I still love them & think the gold and silver are fresh takes on it. A lot of people have surprisingly good taste. My bedroom needs one!

Magazine Collage Art

So my resolution to blog more isn't going phenomenally... along with a couple others... but one resolution was to get back into art again & I am all over that. I have been wanting to collage an image out of magazine clippings for awhile. I was first inspired by my college best Emma's collages. She makes hers out of her old surf magazines and they are amazing. I still have yet to see any others quite like hers:

this one is in my fav "niece" Ella's nursery - love. love. love.

summer visit to east hampton to see my two bests

Since I have more architectural/interior design magazines than I have room for in my southie shack I am totally copying & making one of my own. I started looking up other artists and was blown away. Click on the links underneath to check out more.

Shut up and kiss me again - Schimmel Gold

I have gotten way ahead of my self and already have a list of pieces I want to make. I need to simmer down & see how this one goes first. Although there's no way I can possibly live up to the artists I just posted I'll show you my first attempt when I'm done.

C. Wonder

Happy 2012!! One of my many New Year resolutions is to try to blog more, so let's see how this goes...

I stumbled upon C. Wonder & had to share. Tory Burch ex- J. Christopher Burch just opened a flagship store in SoHo & I'm obsessed. I'll be needing the following (please):

chartreuse and elephants in one? yes.

to write all my big plans for 2012 in...

to drink pinot out of if said plans go awry

for my new crush on orange

I need another box/elephant accessory like a hole in the head.. but I think I actually need this..

That will be all.

Design Crush: MadebyGirl

Every time I stumble upon images of Jen from MadeByGirl's home, I love them just as much. The spaces are fresh, vibrant, fun and reflect personality. I love. I think you will too:










If you weren't already jealous of her home & eye, just wait.... she is a talented artist: COCOA AND HEARTS: Original paintings They are creative, colorful, upbeat and fun. Almost like my color theory paintings in college, only 100X cooler. Definitely need to add to my 2007 splatter painting in my living room!











love, love. Inspiration and then some- thank you Jen!

So sad these amazing DK Living elephant hooks were sold out at Joss and Main!!
