ORC Week Five - Art Wall

Wednesday, March 6, 2013


This is week five, isn't it?   If you're visiting me for the first time, you can catch up on previous One Room Challenge posts here.

First, I have to apologize for getting my post up a little late.  At around 9:30 last night I was moved to start assembling my art wall, so I had to wait until the sun came up this morning to take some photos of it.  I'm not going to be giving a tutorial on how I did it because there aren't many directions to follow.  If you recall, I have an empty room directly behind this wall and it was the right size to create the arrangement I wanted to put up on the wall.  



I did measure the overall length and width of the arrangement to make sure it would all fit on the wall, and then I just started hanging.  I referred to the pictures I took of this arrangement and eyeballed it  to make sure I was still on track.  That's kind of the beauty of this type of installation, it's a more collected and added to look, so measuring was optional.

I started with the picture that would cover the big hole in my wall, since covering it up  was crucial.

And now, an Instagram Tour.



In the light of day, it needs some tweaking, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out.  And it's always hard to the true impact of a project like this with less than stellar photography, but I will say the room feels completely different now. 

And speaking of art, I found got a frame yesterday for this little number I got in the mail from my super talented cyber buddy and artiste extraordinaire Kerry Steele.

It's waaaay more gorgeous than this iphone picture can capture.  It's not on my gallery wall, because it's getting placed somewhere special all by itself- but you can't see that yet!

Make sure you visit the other fab participants and see how they're coming along.

Art Discovery with Reader Discount

Thursday, October 18, 2012

Do you know my favorite thing about the internets?  It's the way you can connect with like-minded people hundreds of miles away that you otherwise never would have had the opportunity to meet!  Case and point:  last week I got a nice email from a talented artist gal named Carolyn Shultz about some lamps I had for sale on a post I did months ago. Through the magic of Pinterest and all the associated linky stuff, she found my little blog and contacted me about the lamp. We had a nice cyber chat, which led me to her website- and (holy talented!), you have got to see these paintings!

Completely gorgeous, right?  And Carolyn is not only a talented painter, she's also a little design-obsessed (kindred spirits much?) and many of her paintings are inspired by her favorite fabrics combined with some floral loveliness.

Carolyn also has a wonderful selection of abstract paintings.  This little number is already sold, but I just love paintings that are a celebration of gorgeous color!

Another ikat piece.

And here's my personal favorite!  If you've checked in on this blog from time to time, you probably know that I have a soft spot for "pretty", which explains my love for this piece:

So, if you have an area in your home that could use a shot of pretty, check out Blue Poppy Design's Etsy shop!   

When you find one or ten paintings you want to purchase, enter the discount code "GREEN20" (with no spaces) and you will receive 20% off your purchase - and that includes commissioned pieces as well!

A great way to kick off an early weekend celebration, no?

PS - stay tuned, I have a fantastic giveaway planned next week.  Here's a little hint:  it starts with "N" and ends with "ovica".
