Snapshot #10: Mallory Page

I recently discovered this artist & the amount of delicious pieces I have featured below should tell you how much I’m loving it right now.

The technique alone is fascinating with multiple misty, dripping layers. Mallory Page somehow achieves a beautiful balance of a translucent & ethereal piece with striking saturated colors with mixed medias on canvas. Check some of these stunning treats out below!

This Table Needs to be in my Loft

Well, I am back to work after being out of the office a couple days on vacation last week. This morning I had to do that awful task of sorting through those emails that have piled up, but surprisingly it went pretty fast until one email derailed me for a minute. I fell madly in love with this table that was featured in the recent Architectural Digest issue for July/August. I just had to share it with everyone!

This beautiful table called The Barnsley Table from Bernhardt Interiors has a patterned bone inlay to with a black ebonized finish. Can you say breathtaking?! It would look great with all the colors in my loft & would be a great contrast with my modern Panton Chairs...see them here.

I have to say thank you to our local Bernhardt representative, Meredith, who sent me the email! Don't be surprised if I post a follow up post with it in my loft!

Trending: The Bold Racing Stripe

 

It's incredible how adding one big fat stripe can instantly modernize a super traditional piece of furniture, or bring interest to a lackluster one.

I've been finding myself drawn to this look more & more lately for those very reasons, especially when done in stark black & white or bold global patterns! I might have to go get some painters tape & start priming my boyfriend's dresser this weekend!

Tied Up & Knotty

all photos via Accessories by ASH

 

This is knot your average friendship bracelet!

Get ready to go overboard for these Accessories by ASH- Allison Hertzberg's line of friendship bracelet inspired adornments.

Hertzberg was first introduced to intricate knotting techniques by fishermen while working on a documentary in Main. Between lobstering & filming, she picked up the basic nautical loop & was hooked- pun intended. Now she twists a& knots belts, bracelets, necklaces, and headbands in her downtown NYC apartment. She uses a sea of multicolor cotton, nylon climbing rope, & vintage chains she has come across at estate sales.

Take this lighthearted look into summer months with neon colors or you can keep it classic for an all year round look with cascading metal chains. Either way you got a good catch- again the pun was intended.

D.I.Y Dipped Baskets: just the perfect touch for getting organized this spring

Awhile back I saw these cute round baskets at West Elm & knew they were just what I wanted to hide some clutter in my loft. (Even though I still haven't gotten them I will in the near future!).

While they are super useful for storing knick knacks, what really drew me to them was the unexpected pop at the bottom. I love how that little bit manages to take a simple basket and make it really special. It doesn't hurt that they are really on trend right now & it shows no sign of stopping! All the stores like Target to Horchow are selling versions of their own too- which most are white, but even if they had a little of color to them I think it would be a cost effective way to add a pop of color to your room!

It seems everyone has different ideas on how best to achieve this look when it comes to DIY.

Martha Stewart took the dipped name seriously with her detailed tutorial.

Then I found this one that figured the pouring method was a better way to go. Either way, this trend is the way to go if you need a stylish storage solution!


peace & love,
