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.

Enjoy The Art Along the Way

On my recent weekend trip to New York City, I noticed all of the subway "art", if you want to call it that, was a little drab. Can you imagine how different the subway would be if it took inspiration from these colorful subway stops in Stockholm?

Let me know what you think, should New York subway stops spice up their look or does the grity look suit the big apple?

Get Some Repetition in Your Life

I have a couple repeating items (mostly reapeating the same shapes & colors) throughout my space just to add a connecting element through each one of the rooms. You can give your own room interest & continuity by reinforcing the lines in your furniture, lighting, & materials. If using repetition to make a statement & highlight some beautifully designed spaces that use the sometimes quirky continuity in their composition.
