Erin Lynn Welsh - Epic (2012) - 30" x 44" - Oil on Canvas

Trolling the internet this morning rather tired from another very productive (and fun) weekend, I came across the work of Erin Lynn Welsh. Featured in Josie Maran's home in this month's issue of Lonny, her paintings employ an incredible use of color that I absolutely love.

Welsh works and lives and Brooklyn.

beds in front of windows

Tomorrow is the big day - the move! The truck is scheduled to arrive at 8am and whether we are ready or not the process will begin. The previous homeowner had very little furniture and used the space differently than we plan to so I am pretty excited to see furniture in the space. One of things I am most looking forward to seeing is how our bed fits in our new master bedroom. My plan is to put the bed in front of a window although its going to be a tight fit as the room is long and narrow. Once I confirm that the layout works, I really want to get a new bed frame and have been looking at the below images to get different ideas about what type of bed looks best in front of a window. Have a good weekend everyone!

les indiennes

I am pretty in love with everything Les Indiennes. Founded by Mary Mulcahy in 2002, the company creates hand blocked textiles, wallpaper and home linens. Created in India using a traditional kalamkari process, the patterns are created using all natural dyes on a simple cream background of organic cotton. Below are a few favorites although I have so many more. Happy Monday!
