Remember when I said how much I loved my winter decor? I mean, I l-0-v-e-d the look. Famous last words because I'm a perpetual tweaker. :) And a few new additions have me loving my winter look even more. I posted about my One Kings Lane finds a few weeks ago. Well, when they arrived I could hardly contain my excitement. And promptly added them to the mix in the family room. Recognize the round vintage botanical? How awesome is … [Read more...]
Mom Cave Update {Art}
January 27, 2012 by · 2 Comments
I am mortified at how loooooong it took me to get my Mom Cave artwork up on the walls. Granted, I was waiting until I finished painting... and then life took over. And my art work sat. And sat. Last weekend, I finally bit the bullet, got out the hammer and picture hanging kit and.... voila! Gorgeous, no? I wish I could spirit away the printer/fax machine, but no can do... El Presidente (aka the hubs) works from home and out of this … [Read more...]

I was all set to share some new Catalog Finds with y'all (love all the fresh new catalogs arriving in my mailbox!) but I was stopped in my tracks by One King's Lane this morning. Heard of OKL?? One of my favorite online decor sales sites. While their beautiful wares don't always fit into my budget, this morning I found two lovely pieces I couldn't leave behind. And her big sister... What I love? The round shape, … [Read more...]

So, you've begun your collection of art and photographs, purchasing those pieces you love and framing your treasured photographs, but you're stumped on how and where to hang them. Sound familiar? How about hanging a piece or a group of pieces and deciding something's not quite right? Believe it or not, art placement is an art in and of itself. My Museum Studies seminar in graduate school spent a great deal of time on where … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday, Andy Warhol
August 6, 2010 by · 1 Comment
I had a different post planned for today, but when it came to my attention that today is Andy Warhol's birthday, I felt compelled to mark the occasion here. He is by no means my favorite artist, but the art historian in me cannot dismiss his leadership in the Pop Art movement of the 1950's. And, you have to admit, his images have a familiarity and enormous visual appeal, whether it's the pop culture subject matter, the vibrant colors, … [Read more...]
C’est Magnifique!!

There is something about vintage French posters that just speaks to me. Maybe because they're one of the earliest forms of advertisement, but one in which the artists could showcase their individual talents. These artworks are usually highly sought-after at art auctions, but you can get your hands on a budget-friendly reproduction at One Kings Lane. I'm picturing one in a child's room or in your creative work-space...or on the … [Read more...]
Tip of the Week: Beauty IS in the Eye of the Beholder!
March 20, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
How cliche, right? Not so much. I recently spent a delightful evening at an Art Auction to benefit Special Olympics of Georgia. The auctioneer travels, with art in tow, all the way from New York, his carefully "pre-selected" pieces loaded on trucks for the journey. This year the pieces were all framed works-- which I adore--but I was hoping for a few sculptural pieces as well. At any rate, I was struck by the same … [Read more...]
