Can anything make a home feel more unique or personal that a hand-picked piece of art? A painting you love can turn a (literally) blank slate into an extension of yourself. Want a place to feel inspiring, or calming, or even bouncing off the walls energetic? Picking the right canvas can make all the difference.
Invaluable.com, a vast auction site, offers thousands of
paintings up for sale daily. It's a wonderful place to broaden your design horizons and gain some inspiration.
I've recently been playing around with what I'd like to do in my crafting/writing/office space. It's hard to nail down what I want...I just can't pick...every time I see something I like, my mind completely changes on how I want the room to be. So, naturally, I daydream. I browsed around Invaluable.com the other day, wanting to spark some direction, & happened upon this pretty, vintage-feeling, little bit country, fun, vibrant piece. I really think it's stunning & it just makes me smile, & imagine that I'm in a field of wildflowers. With no allergies, just enjoying myself. :)
And what to do when you find a beauty like this? Plan an entire
room around it! It tickles my fancy to play around with ideas, mixing
& matching styles to come up with something that I love. I really
looove these inspirations. Triple 'O' cause that's how much I dig them!
I've
spent the last several days pawning & pining for all of these
lovelies. They're absolutely inspiring me to get going with my craft
room/office. I adore the mix of romantic artwork, whimsical touches,
natural wood & chippy paint. I am a fan of chippy paint. And those
Pottery Barn lights...ooh, I want them right. now. In every room in the
house. I'm also thinking that gorgeous rolling cart & statement
shelving would be so perfect for all of my supplies, books & more.
The personalized Paper Source notebook & adorable elephant add a
playful element that I want to have in each space I create. Everything's so fun!
These pieces are all on my 'want' list & I have promptly created a pinterest board just for them...check it out above. I'll also be adding bits of inspiration whenever I find them, so look often. And don't forget to follow my other boards while you're there. I spend entirely too much time pinning, so there are always new ideas popping up on my boards!
