"Eclectic" Style

What is it?

Simple Search.

Agree?

{Aside: The fact that I had a Julius Caesar bust on a pedestal in my home while growing up might just explain so much!}

High + Low

Vintage + New

Mix of Textures

Mix of Colors

Thoughts? 

A cheerful heart is good medicine

Proverbs 17:22

Come on Baby, Light My Fire!

Aqua Creations Fixture. Obsessed.

Lighting for me is art.  It is actually the first thing I think about when I am looking at a blank room.  (Or even a room that is "complete".)   I don't know if that is what one is taught in interior design school but it works for me.  I think about what type and size of fixture I think would be appropriate. I madly shop, shop, and shop for a fixture. I fall in love, and then I design the rest of the room around the wonderful work of art.

Art can be simple. It can be extravagant. 

It can be anything we make it.  

Sometimes light must be functional but most of the time it gives us an incredible opportunity to add personality and dimension to a room.

Doesn't this Adelman piece remind you of Chemistry class?

I've always had a thing for spiders.  I'd rather not talk about it...

This puppy has been stuck in my head since it was first featured in 2008.  Ms. Paltrow's dining room chandy from her home in the Hamptons...

So, start shopping and start saving!  Electricians make more than Bravo Housewives!

God Bless!

Tag, You're It!

I have to admit, if you knew me you might think that having "graffiti" art in my home was out of character. Well, so be it.  I've been over-thinking a particular room in our home and I think I have finally felt haunted enough by graffiti art to just go for it.  

Here are just a few images that that have been weighing on my mind.

This apartment in Copenhagen is what has sealed the deal for me. The furnishings and color palate are so simple yet so powerful. These images and others of wonderful art have moved me to (hopefully successfully) take my home from an (arguably) well decorated home to one that is inspiring or perhaps even off-putting to those that enter it.

Either way would be great.  

I'm not giving myself that much credit yet!

This wonderful credenza by Llan Dei is beautifully made and it's just amazing in it's ability to catch one off guard. 


It's not as though having graffiti-type art in ones home hasn't been done, it's just that I may not have been confident enough to just go for it before now.

Does it make me feel edgy - no, not really.
Does it make me feel like I'm bringing a bit of an urban vibe into our very suburban home - kind of.
Does it make me feel excited to have wonderfully expressive art in my home - absolutely!

So, would you do it & where?
Stay tuned for progress photos & we would love to see yours!
