Although we may currently be in between homes at the moment I can’t help but purchase art when I come across something I love. I recently ordered three of these beautiful intaglio pieces, from Statuette, and can’t wait to see where they land in our future home. They are so unique and priced just right!
I picked up a few decor items recently from Target and have to share. These are all the real deal! I got two of these benches for the foot of my bed and can’t recommend them enough. A great sturdy bench with a super cute, neutral cushion. I plan to recover the cushion but you can’t go wrong with the natural linen color.
This piece of art was an impulse purchase for a wall in our guest room. As an avid art collector this is something I normally wouldn’t purchase but the size (it’s large) and price was too good to pass up. The piece truly looks like an original piece of art.
Something about a bathing suit brings a smile to my face. It makes me think back to times as a child running through the sprinkler in the back yard, going to swim team practice and hanging at the neighborhood pool all summer. As an adult, it reminds me of the tropical vacations I have taken, summer holidays at my parents condo on the beach in Florida and the relaxing feeling of being close to water.
Dorothy Shain visited New Orleans a few years back and I discovered her amazing bikini paintings and just learned today – she has prints – thanks Instagram! They are retro, playful and full of character – and I think I need three!
I love a good Instagram giveaway {as long as the rules are simple} and over Christmas I won a sweet little package from @churchgoingmule. I absolutely love Southern art and Marshall’s mules! I now have a mini one all of my own – one day I hope to have a large one to hang on my walls.
I came across the amazing work of David Parise on a late night Instagram session and immediately ordered one of his works. He takes vintage Barbies {and Ken dolls} and sets them up in the most realistic and fun settings. I am in LOVE with my piece and can’t wait to see the conversations it starts. If you are in New York he sets up around town too! Follow David on Instagram @vintagebarbieandken!
No black Friday or cyber Monday for me this year! This year, I’m turning to my favorite social channel and shopping my instagram feed. Instagram has introduced me to so many fabulous artist and makers that I can’t wait to support this holiday season! See below for my favorites.
My local West Elm and Juley {of Upperlyne} hosted the greatest Etsy Pop-Up shop a few weeks back. I had the best time browsing local vendors and even picked up a few things. I scooped up a small original piece from Markette and absolutely love her work. The perfect addition to any gallery wall and the prints {and cards} make great gifts!
My late night internet surfing can pose a few problems, from keeping me up too late and spending a little too much money, sometimes I just can’t turn it off. Lately I’ve been hunting on Etsy, so many unique, fun pieces at great prices! Here a few I’m currently eyeing!
I’ve mentioned artist Teil Duncan {here and here} before and now she is back with a few, new prints! I’ve always been a fan of her beaches and have a print myself, this time around I’m picking up a bull print! Such a unique take on the animal! Her prints go fast and these are only available until December.
