I have some telecommuting friends and one of these friends has a new work from home gig and needs to carve out a work space. I'm thinking she should consider a trestle desk because well it's kind of simple-- they are affordable, timeless and chic. Case in point, My favorite example. It's all about

Ever since I welcomed the beautiful abstract art of my friend Dianne D. Ballard into my home, I've been more and more interested in the affect that modern and abstract art has in traditional interiors. You might remember that my gorgeous pieces once hung over the sofa, flanking a mirror. In the new apartment, I'm not sure if this vignette will resurface or not, BUT, it certainly was gorgeous, and my Dianne D. Ballard art will always have a very special place in my home ... no matter where I make it! My first place - with my Dianne D. Ballard pieces (SO GORGEOUS!) So, of course, if you're reading the blog, you know I am thinking about doing a wall of mirrors behind the sofa in the new place. It needs the architectural interest. But, I've also thought of asking Dianne to do another piece of work for me, this time larger! Oh, yeah! Dianne does commissions! Interested? Dianne can be reached at [email protected] or phone 252-497-6246 to discuss the possibilities for your space. Dianne has been a faithful reader of my blog for a long time, and I know she'll see this post and say "LET'S DO IT!" So while I figure out the space and the walls and where exactly more of Dianne's beautiful work would hang - we can ooh and ahh over these gorgeous spaces, where traditional interiors meet modern and abstract art!

I’ve been meaning to talk about that painted canvas in our family room. Here’s a timeline:: 1. The inspiration :: Angela from The Painted House {a little more info here} the link in that post is to Angela’s old blog from 4 years ago I saw her beautiful mix of styles and the first thing I did was to go by a 40 x 30 inch blank canvas from Michael’s {use your coupon on their iPhone app} {also, I could have gone twice as big with the canvas and always would have found a place for it} {one more thing, I like parenthetical statements} 2. April, 2008 I buy a big canvas and paint it a la Angela using leftover paint from my walls and my boys help. We take the canvas outside and the one rule? EVERY inch must be covered with paint, even if it’s simply white paint–don’t forget the sides. Then drip, splash, pour and spread out the paint however you want. 3. Sometime later we move, I use the same canvas and use leftover paint from my walls in lighter colors 4. Last spring I was ready for a change so I used the same canvas […]
