Inspiring Walls

Presenting the most awesome wall I've seen in a while! When I ran across it, I had to do a double take. Fantastic!! Personally, I sort of feel that the montage wall has been done to death on the internet, but this collection jumps off the screen.

Actually, these photos are from an Etsy site called, That Funky Boutique. They hand-make these cool ruffle pillows. I especially love the grey and black ones. Their texture is amazing! So, while looking at the beautiful background wall, stop to check out the awesome pillows too:)

Favorite Art: Beth Hoeckel

I believe art enriches our lives. I also believe surrounding ourselves with art changes the way we observe the world around us-a different perspective. By training your eye to see beauty and meaning in even in the simplest things, our environments change, simply because we perceive them differently. Having said that, I decided to post more art on this blog. Its a passion of mine and I want to share it. (P.S. my taste in art is as eclectic as my taste in interiors)

This is the work of Beth Hoeckel. Her work is somewhat new to me, but I was so excited about it, I had to post it!

 Hoeckel's work consists of collage, painting, photopraphy, etc. I love the vivid colors and amazing patterns.

 Love the ink on fabric. It feels so free-form. 

Love Loans + Linen

Happy Friday:)

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I thought sharing a visual treat might start the weekend on the right foot. I just discovered Love Loans + Linens, a beautiful Australian boutique. Wish I could hop on over to experience this well curated shop. Everything on their online store, is calling my name!

Dancing In The Rain

 Hallelujah! There are real rainstorms in Texas!! After this brutally dry and hot year, I'm ready to stomp and dance in a few puddles.

The Little Schoolhouse

This minimal and modern schoolhouse makes me want to be a student again! I'm sure my grades would have been much better, in this environment.

Paper Craft

I love the art of origami and the beauty of paper. This video took my breath away, today. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did:)

All The Vintage Pictures

 Oh, how I love vintage pictures. The colors, styles of dress, and old cars. They really capture my imagination. I found a Flickr site that reinvigorated that love; last night. Midwestern Femme is an entire collection of found photos and magazines. Some photos go back more than a hundred years. My favorite are the 20th century color pics. They are wonderfully fun to scroll through. 

 "El Mirador" 

Someone transport me into this photo, please.

 Look at that shirt! I'm not totally sure how I feel about it, but I'm sort of thinking its awesome!!

That would be a car I would want to show off too.

This is one of my favorites, with the people unexplainably holding pigeons and the technicolor environment. Love it!
