ART




Well.....we made it to Friday and pretty quickly I might add.  Of course I am not the authority on all things "old related"....but let me just put this out there:

Time goes WAY faster when you are old

Yeah...I know pretty newsworthy right?  Call the press.

Just saying.

Alrighty then....let's get down to "bidness...."

A few of you asked about the art in my recent Before and After:


The artist name is Nancy B Westfall.  Even though the client is fairly traditional....we decided to add a piece of contemporary art [with color I might add] to liven up the space and keep it from being too predictable.   I can be clever like that :)


It had many of the colors that we are using in other rooms of the house.

She is represented by Gregg Irby Fine Art here in Atlanta

Here are a few more images of her work.

I  like this one.



Gregg represents some wonderful artist.
Christina Baker

Kate Merritt Davis

If your local please visit her gallery.

I had an artist reach out to me the other day in an email.... so I went to her website and liked what I saw!


Her name is Amy Duke...go here to see more.

Yesterday I was at Stacey Steward's blog Steward of Design
spilling the beans about my life and how I got into design.  Stacey is a NEW blogger so be polite and go over to say hi!  Remember when you first started out....how excited it was to get comments....please show her some love.

Annnnnndddd the last thing today is that my friend Angela from The Painted House is curating a collection for Joss and Main Tuesday, February 5.  Plus...her loft was just featured in Atlanta magazine.  Go check it out on her blog!

Did I give you enough to do today.....I can be somewhat bossy at times.

Enjoy the Superbowl....go _______________
You can fill in the blank :)

Shapam baby!

INSPIRATION FROM ARTWORK




Checking in from the beach!
Rain all day yesterday......no worries....shopping right?
So far rain today....no worries....shopping in another direction!

BUT......here is something you might enjoy.


Look what I got in the mail!


Uh huh....  Michele from hello lovely inc emailed me and asked if I would like her to paint something for me.

Is that a trick question?

I quickly said "do you need my address?"

All kinds of questions running through my head...why me?  How did she know?  Are we related and I don't know it?

AND then I tossed all of those crazy questions right out the door and said "why not me?"

Bring it.

Gawd...I am in love with them and started thinking about putting a plan together for them....

Cause that is what I do.


Every last bit of this would look good in my DR/LR.  Fo real.
How about we look a little closer.  The wallpaper is Sanderson/DHONHO105  Honfleur.  The paint colors are Farrow and Ball.  
Down Pipe...

It looks green here but it's not.  I googled it and found out that Pratt  & Lambert has a color almost identical called Stones Throw.  I compared them and yes indeedy pretty darn close.

The creamy color is Clunch.

It looks fleshy here but let me assure you that it is not.

Fabrics...Schumacher Kiribati Ikat Print/Linen
Schumacher Augustin Linen Stripe/Linen Ivory

And Kelly Wearstler Channels Taupe/Ivory
which is the one on the top....

The Lee fabrics are Vienna Navy and Bristol Metal

The rug samples are  from Myers Carpet here in Atlanta.  Don't rule out using cut yardage as you can get a great look and spend less sometimes.

Wouldn't this be a pretty room?  Add a snazzy brass chandelier.

Let's see what I can find...
I like the cage of this one...similar to the KW fabric.
Simple...clean
I would take the hats off this one and put in those small round bulbs....
Course if you want to spend almost 2000.00.  Go on.

I am always amazed at the generosity of bloggers.  

I hate that name: "blogger".  Is sounds like "logger" which makes me think of burly men in the northeast cutting down trees.  Can't we come up with something better?

Somebody?

I SO forgot that Scott's was early this month.....waaaaaaa.

FYI....they used to let people come in on Thursdays during setup.  No more.  Fire Marshall put the shut down on that and now I believe you can't get in until 2!!!

I will just have to do some shopping around here and take some pictures.

Last thing....if you want your own art work like I got then go here and grab one for yourself!

Adios people....
