Etsy Find: The cheerful paintings of Leelu and Piggy
I have another talented Etsy artist to share with everyone. These paintings invoke a sunny weekend morning where one has hours to linger over breakfast at the kitchen table.

Murals, faux-finishes, and tons of inspiration from the talented Allison Cosmos
When I was back in high school I used to make extra money by painting murals - mostly in kids rooms. It was rewarding but very,very hard work. So I have a deep appreciation for people like Allison who are so talented - and tolerant of sore necks!
Allison Cosmos is the artist who completed these murals and gorgeous faux finishes. Which is your favorite?
Those curtains are painted on the ceiling!
"A Scalamandrie toile inspired the hot pink & orange color scheme on these guest bedroom walls. Tiny orange lines on white create shading and depth "
Love the crisp contrast of the geometric pattern on the floor - and that you can still see the wood grain through it!
"Around the fireplace, a soft botanical garland gently falls from the top. The walls, ceiling, moldings & floors received color-washed & dragged finishes. "
*drool* The cupboard and detail above are my favorite. I love the delicate detail and the line quality!
I like this creature too.

Balancing your home with color
I thought this was a fun little chart that House Beautiful put together.
I would definitely consider having a yellow or orange kitchen
At the least, lavender gives me a sense of serenity and light heartedness
I've read in quite a few books that having a splash of orange on your desk or in your studio helps with creativity - I usually opt for orange flowers on my desk
Deep blue encouraging efficiency is interesting too - and something I'm going to test out!
Light blue and aqua are my favorite colors. Especially in my bedroom.
I think that color theory should be applied to more public buildings and establishments like retirement homes, prisons, and hospitals. Do you guys have a room or object where the color was chosen specifically for it's effect on your psyche? If so - what's the color - and what's the room/object?

A little showcase of artist homes
Wow. What a long week it has been. On a whim I was looking at some artist house tours and decided to share. Have a great weekend!
Shelagh Stewart's bedroom
"Artists Vik Muniz and Janaina Tschäpe find happiness in a Brooklyn home that has morphed from garage to bachelor pad to bohemian family retreat"
"...painter Anne Becker's peaceful New York apartment with global style"
...of the two above images: "Elizabeth Chapin is not afraid of bright hues. 'I love candy colors, both in my work and in my house,' says the portrait artist, who shares a Victorian home in Austin, Texas" with her family.

The beauty of trees
I've had this artist bookmarked for a long time and finally got around to collecting my favorites and posting them for you. I grew up on a large farm which was home to many large old trees. These trees were people to my sisters and I. They had personalities and feelings and I still think about them from time to time - and I hope they're well and around for a very long time. So, of course I was instantly intrigued by Anders Knutsson's prints and paintings of large, old trees. His works are either archival digital prints on paper, pencil on paper, or acrylic on linen
The above is acrylic on linen
Oh how I'd love a trio of his trees!
