Bar Cart Find

While looking for bar cart accessories for a client I stumbled upon an amazing find. A lot of people collect their old wine corks and display them either in canisters or art.  I just love this holder from Etsy a very classy and elegant way to display your ever growing collection..

Nan Lawson - Quirky and Cute Illustrations

Nan Lawson is an Illustrator based in Los Angeles. She has a great shop on Etsy, as well as a shop-in-shop on Society6, an online print shop brought to you by Urban Outfitters. She is known for her pop culture portraits, as well as her freelance gigs illustrating for magazines and designing logos. Inspired by hipsters, cult television shows, and all things-quirky, Lawson created a signature style that has gained a huge following among 20-somethings decorating on a budget, who aren’t willing to compromise personality in their design.

My favourite Nan Lawson feature, however, is her custom shop. Nan will customize illustrations and prints using your own images to create adorable and incredibly personal gifts.

I’m a big fan. Take a look at her work and let me know what you think!

One of your favourite artists may be in your cellphone

Many stores sell paintings that are priced as low as $20 - they are great finds as long as they don't give off the staged look

One of my favourite paintings was done by my friend Jill - this painting was lying on her floor for months - now it is framed over my vanity

Having a one of a kind piece is so special - it looks unique and makes a room feel a little more personal
This is a very inexpensive way to have beautiful art on your walls and to share your friends talents

So, if you are lucky enough to have an artist as a friend ask if they will make you something - let them know what room you want it for so they can match your colours and theme.
