Artwork

This is a painting I did a few years ago for Drew. He has it hanging in his office now. I used regular household paint to do it. I simply used the paint I used to paint his office and added black and white. He says, its his favorite gift from me, and I'm going to pretend to believe it.

Know What Works

I have a color scheme in my house, I use browns, light yellows, muted creams, greens and black, this way most everything I buy for my house can be used in various rooms. Most everything in my house has been used in one room and then another. Its also good to know your style. I have owned this screen for over 10 years and its been used in my bedroom, dining room and currently my living room. When you know your style, have a neutral backdrop and use what you love I guarantee it will work for you.

Frame Cool Stationary

I have been using stationary as artwork on my walls for years, especially back in the day when I couldn't afford real art. The great thing about it is you don't feel bad for getting rid of it when you've grown tired of looking at it. I currently am a little fixated on mid-century design and I got just a bit excited when I ran across this Charley Harper stationary (on clearance) at Anthropologie.

Another idea is when I visit art museums I always go to the gift shop and check out their postcards. Once I get bored with my Charley Harper prints I plan to exchange them for some cool Barnett Newmann postcards I picked up.
