ART I LOVE NO.1

I'm kicking off today with a new series that I will be calling "Art I Love." I love all mediums of art and the feeling it can evoke in you. When we were growing up, my parents would take my sister and I to museums all the time. I didn't appreciate it as much when I was young, but now that I am older {and a wee bit wiser}, I am forever grateful that they opened my eyes up to such  beauty at a young age. Now, one of my favorite things to do is visit museums, where I tend to favor modern art. The weirder it is, the more I tend to like it. And who doesn't love a good museum gift shop.  

I could spend days in the Guggenheim and MoMA in NYC and the San Francisco and LA MoMA's are equally fabulous. I cannot wait until I travel to Paris to go to the Louvre.

Whimsy of Watercolor

I am unsure of a lot of things. My sense of fashion is all over the place. My taste in interior design is ever changing. But one thing is for sure: I have a certain taste in art that I just love and that is watercolors. The dreamy colors, easy lines and un-harshness of it gets me every time.

I've told you about Leigh Viner but I wanted to introduce some other favorites and finds from the watercolor world.

Designer Spotlight // Christine Dovey of Bijou and Boheme

Tiffany Leigh of Tiffany Leigh Interior Design recently introduced me to the fabulous home of Christine Dovey of Bijou and Boheme. Christine's home was featured in Style and Home, and let me tell you, it is perfection in every sense of the word. 

Her home is feminine and flirty, with gold, pink, white and grey accents throughout. My girl, Leigh Viner, is featured in several rooms in the house. I have several of her pieces in my home and office and I can't emphasize enough how fantastic her art is. Her art is being featured on One King's Lane today so if you've been considering buying a piece, now is the time to do it! 

What do you guys think of Christine's home? 

Office Essentials to Keep You Happy + Motivated

I decided my office needs an update. I have some cool items like my Leigh Viner Art Prints and my Zushe Python Tray but then I also have some seriously ugly generic items like my brown stapler, grey tape dispenser and cheap Bic pens.  

So I went on over to my fave office supply store, Russel + Hazel and picked me up some office swag. Let the creativity and inspiration flow, I say!

Office Inspiration

For those of you who are wondering how the office decorating is coming along... it's comin'. Swear! I am still waiting for items to arrive in the mail and waiting for more money to magically appear in my bank account (I thought I had the $500M lotto on lockdown) so I can buy everything on my wish list. In the meantime, here are some pieces that are truly inspiring to my version of the dream office. 

By the way, did I mention how hard it is to find the perfect, and I mean THE PERFECT piece of art? I've been on the hunt... meaning I've been to every Z Gallerie, Pottery Barn, Michaels and HomeGoods within a 20 mile radius and I've visited tons of online art store that I could possible think of! I finally stumbled upon the fabulous and talented Leigh Viner. I fell in love with her piece "Cricket." I think it has the perfect combination of girly yet professional, don't you think?
