Art to Inspiration

February 1, 2012 by Nikki

Today I’m participating in yet another fun group blogging project. Supal promoted us with this stunning painting below by Hiroshi Matsumoto. I’m not always drawn to red, but this piece immediately reminded me of the power of this bold color. It also screamed Anthropologie to me. While I could never go all-red with anything, I’m a big fan of pops of the color throughout the home. I’m so crushing on these colorful and artful accents that go hand in hand with this striking painting.

Art Wall

July 12, 2011 by Nikki

I’ve got art on my mind….been thinking of adding some more pieces to my apartment. I just love the idea of an art wall. It could either be a little scattered or perfectly organized…not sure which one is exactly my style. I’m thinking I’d like to look for some vintage gold frames though. Some of my favorites for inspiration….

Inslee Illustrations

April 18, 2011 by Nikki

Absolutely have fallen in love with Inslee Haynes’s fashion illustrations. Not only is she a fellow DC blogger (don’t you just love it when you find artists and style in DC??) but also she’s super talented. Her work is both fabulous and inspiring…makes me want to get out my pencils and watercolors. Check out her blog and some of my favorites….
