Friday Finds..Blank Walls?

I love adding a diverse selection of art to my home. I don't have an unlimited budget so sometimes a fabulous print works really well!...If you agree, you've got to check out Wall Blank, it's a printing company that sells new prints daily in limited quantise. Here's a sample from their vault! Sadly most of these are still not available but they update their selection regularly.

I'm just loving oversized floral photographic prints lately!!

Happy Weekend to all!

The queen of baubles, chic + more...

Iris Apfel is so unbelievably chic! See this style icon's rare + glamorous closet on view right now at the Peabody Essex Museum. Her wardrobe is the ultimate mix of high and low and knack for putting it all together is truly inspirational.

The Peabody Essex Museum is actually located about 1.5 miles down the street from my house. I'm ashamed to say I haven't been to the exhibit yet but I plan to sneak it in this weekend!!!

and for all those baubles you are amassing...{one of my favorite, favorite, favorite things to purchase is accessories} here are some brilliant some storage ideas.

Architecture Artists Resolutions Storage

Resolutions!

Honestly, this time of year can get a little depressing in New England; the extra chilly weather is just setting in, the scale is tipping in the wrong direction, my house is usually a post holiday disaster!!

Thank goodness for New Year's resolutions, they motivate and feel like a fresh start, and when they actually come to fruition it's quite satisfying....

I'm feeling great about 2010 and am of course very excited to meet our new baby bundle arriving this month!!

So onto my 2010 resolutions.....

ONE. to focus on saving to purchase a pretty home close to the beach!

TWO. To travel to Paris with my husband for my birthday. {In October}. I've been to France but never to the city of lights....

THREE. I read Julie and Julia in 2008 but saw the movie just last night. Julia Child's story is very inspiring. I've always loved to cook but haven't been very motivated in the kitchen lately. I hope to refine my cooking skills, entertain more and try some new techniques and recipes in 2010. {all while sipping new wine selections}

FOUR. Is to purge and organize my "stuff" and life!

How great is this closet? It belongs to Nicole from the amazing blog "Making it Lovely" The cabinet is available here through IKEA.

To have a small dresser just for jewelry, belts and scarfs would be a dream wouldn't it?

{owww I just had a thought-I'll keep you posted}

FIVE. To set aside more time to exercise and whip this body into shape after my "little one" arrives.

SIX. To contiune to be inspired by and explore more cultural endeavors {something I rarely have time for since having a family}. This will include reading more novels {including a few classics}, seeing more movies {including vintage flicks}, and attending more art shows and museum exhibits.

SEVEN. To continue to grow and develop SHELTER - The Blog and The Design Firm!!{I can't wait to share my new website - it's set to launch at the end of the month}

EIGHT. To lose the "grass is always greener" syndrome and live for the here and now!

Peace and Happy New Year wishes to you!

Cheers to your best year yet!

Julie

Crazy Days

I know I've been a bit out of touch. My computer has a terrible virus, so I don't have my computer at the moment {I'm loosing my mind without it}. If you don't have a recent anti-virus software on your PC - I would recommend downloading one NOW! ;)

On a positive note, I thought I'd share this pretty photograph I recently purchased for a client. It's going to be a large scale image! I love the color and graphic quality of Dahlias. For more wonderful floral images visit Flanders Field here via Etsy. The photographer has been a delight to work with...

Artists Fashion flowers

Beautiful Blossoms

{I know the Emerson Made flowers have been circulating for a while, but these handmade buds are available through another designer: Chelle Paperie.

I'll save the festive post I'm planning for later this week. I've been pulling together my possible "girl" nursery ideas lately, so flowers have been on my mind. Here's a post on recent pretties I've found! Enjoy + Happy Monday!

J.Crew

I love these bold floral paintings by Alida Morgan.

Fashionable florals...love the nostalgic feel they bring to an outfit.

Artists Display Photography Projects

Photo Wall...finished...

You may recall a couple of weeks ago I posted the process steps for a client photo wall. click here for a recap.

I began this project with a pile of small, old photographs. I had them professionally touched up in photoshop, re sized, copied and framed. The next logical step was to devise a layout using templates. An important process if you'd like a balanced wall, it's also a great way for the client to get a feel for the overall layout. I'm also drawn to random salon style walls but this client was looking for something more neat and orderly. I was pleased with the final results...

And Don't you just love the colorful vintage poster at the end of the hall? This poster is available through the International Poster Gallery in Boston. {see below for details}

Gevaert Film, Donald Brun 1950.

I'm typically not a fan of insects.....

I'm loving Joseph Scheer's moth prints. What I especially like is that these prints are over sized, colorful and graphic. They would make an impact in a room. Available through Ruby Beets.

I'm loving these paintings by artist Brigitte Bruggemann. They're a beautiful abstraction of nature. View more at one of my favorite local galleries Jules Place! {Many of these capture the brilliant hues of Fall, don't you think?}
