Handmade Art to LOVE

July 11, 2011

I LOVE finding special pieces for my home and in my little fashion world, so I’m really excited to share my newest obsession of handmade goods with you; Deep Dark Africa. This cool company has beautiful handmade bags I’m drooling over, some amazing little bowls I’m ready to put in my kitchen, and some very neat pillows I could get used to in my guest bedroom. Everything on this site is handmade from designers and artisans in Africa. They create their work in the hopes they can share their art with the world. They pride themselves on evolving their own style into modern pieces while remaining true to their roots. I hope you love these pieces as much as I do!

Gift Me with Organization

December 15, 2010

I’ve been thinking long and hard about what I really want to receive this holiday season and I’ve decided to go towards a more practical approach (really good excuse) to get some awesome pieces I’ve been swooning over the past few months. Well, I’ve been working on getting my mounds and mounds of paperwork under control, my books set beautifully on a shelf, and I need a better way to transport my laundry from the home to the garage. So my list consists of stylish decor that will help me get organized throughout my home after a pretty hectic holiday season! Here are some of my choices…..(I’ve even included a few items from Lucy + Ellen I would rather keep for myself!)

Dreaming of…A white Cottage

November 3, 2010

This week I’m dreaming of a beautiful white country cottage, preferably for my own personal design studio. I LOVE this old garage turned into amazing workspace by owner and designer Tricia Foley. I could seriously see myself working endless hours in this space; designing, creating, and relaxing quietly with a cup of coffee and my laptop. I feel inspired just looking at these images!

The sliding large barn door and beautiful simplistic furniture and decor make it a calm environment. There is a touch of modernity with this amazing coffee table , the cement floor, and the cool simple whites and neutrals. She even has one of my essential needs in a studio; an amazing industrial bookcase with lots and lots of books. Beyond the beautiful indoors of this workspace, the setting within the tall trees and the calm of the outdoors make this place my dream!

Country Cottage

I am truly dreaming of this amazing workspace. I know my creative would be flowing every time I entered this little abode.

Creative Office

October 21, 2010

As I have mentioned before, I have a serious obsession with paper products and office supplies. I don’t know about you, but I need eye candy in my office while I work.  I love to surround myself with items that will spark my creativity and keep me focused. I love how Rebecca Orlov decorated her chic home office (see in image below).  It looks beautiful and funcitinoal!

Here are a few fun office supplies for an inspiring and creative space.

Beautiful Woodwork

October 14, 2010

I really love to mix natural wood furniture with more modern pieces. I’ve now found some pieces that can give me a more natural look with a modern twist. The colours are soft and mute, while the style of these pieces are strong and definitely demand attention in the room. Enjoy!
