Go With The Flow

So I've got a kid who obviously likes to express himself. I figured
why not just go with it! Far be it for me to discourage a kid's desire to be creative.
I selected a few of my favorite school projects of Liam's and framed them myself.
I just went to an art supply and bought some simple frames with nice mats.
I also hung them at his eye level so he can see his own work.
I tell him how much I like them all the time:)

Wall Envy

Once these spectacular pieces go up, all other walls will be filled w/ envy!
These were found via a new shop I love called 14 Feet.

Very creative, love it!

Today, I need a little Zen.

There is something very soothing about beautiful fabrics, especially fabrics made from natural fibers. Textiles with a history and a little wear are also very appealing. I discovered these amazing fabrics from Sri. It is a gallery in Brooklyn that specializes in collecting antique fabrics from Japan.

I have always wanted a kimono like this. The shape is so amazing, wouldn't it be a wonderful wall display?

Design at a Bargain-Butterfly Prints

When it comes to finding accessories for a home, I can be a bit of a snob. I don't necessarily think that a house has to be filled with very costly items or rare antiques, but I don't like poorly made items that are sold by the thousands. Occasionaly, I find a chain store item that I love anyway, so I decided to share them. The first items I want to share are these beautiful butterfly prints from Pottery Barn. The prints have a wonderful array of colors, and the simple black frames, can work in almost any room. The small 8"x10" frames start at only $39.00, and my personal favorite, the "Quad scape" is only $299.00 for the set of four. I really love these prints, but if I start seeing them all over the place, I reserve the right to change my mind. I know, I know, so snobby.
