Southwest Surrealism

I haven’t been able to get Philip C Curtis off my mind since visiting the Phoenix Art Museum. His work has really stuck with me, so I thought I’d share some of it.

I’ve been looking for an outdoor rug for my patio for probably the last two years. But, I’m never able to commit to a carpet because our exterior is not even close to being finished. I’m settling on colors soon and painting this summer, so I decided it was time to get more serious about my outdoor accessories. Here are some favorites from this season.

This $200 peacock rug from Target makes a bold statement with a feathered pattern throughout.

A serving tray {from doilies to art deco}

I found this cute boudoir tray at my favorite consignment shop a few weeks ago and was instantly drawn to its classic style. I’ve wanted a serving tray for some time, so I decided to pick this one up and give it a few updates.

Memorial Day

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and has a Memorial Day filled with family and friends. I spent last week in Arizona, so I didn’t post, but I was so inspired by some amazing southwest sights and I’m looking forward to sharing some of them very soon.

A quick side note: I’m so happy (and flattered) that Knock Off Decor featured my West Elm inspired headboard last week. Thank you, Beckie!

Meet the mountains.

Around two months ago, my parents bought a house along the Delaware River on the Pennsylvania and New York state border. Much like my current home, it’s a fixer-upper, only much more so. It has loads of potential and is situated on breathtaking land. My parents got this house so our whole family could spend more time together, whether we’re hiking, kayaking or just relaxing by the fire. We’ve been there as many weekends as possible to work on the house. Expect lots of design and renovation projects from this place, but for now, here’s an introduction.
