Parima Studio Rose Collection

August 25, 2014 in accessories, artwork, interior decor, wall art

My talented sister Patty of Parima Studio, just launched her Rose Collection of fine art prints, inspired by a trip we took to a rose farm back in May. I have loved being able to witness the development of it over the past few months and am so proud of her. She's so talented and passionate about what she does, which I think shows in the end product.

The photo from a shoot we did at my house, showcasing 3 of the 6 prints in the collection.

Fabric Turned Artwork

A great way to showcase a special fabric and create custom artwork is to stretch the fabric in a gallery-style floating frame. One with a larger scale pattern and intricate details, like this nature inspired one, works beautifully:

Fabric pictured is $25/yd and can be found here.

DIY Artwork: Tonal Concentric Squares

Given my love for the pillows mentioned in this post its no surprise I'm drawn to this artwork:

It's a similar idea; tonal concentric squares. What I love is that the color combos are endless and it's an easy DIY paint or Photoshop project. Great way to inject color into a space!

BTW you can find pillows similar to the ones in the above mentioned post over at Jonathan Adler:
