Ann Carrington Art Featured on Home by Novogratz
Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
I was watching Home by Novogratz last night and it was the episode of the store Babakul at Fred Segal. I’m quite a fan of Courtney and Robert Novogratz. What I like most about their designs is that they are unmistakeably different and always with an element (or two, or three) of surprise.
What struck me most about this particular episode was an art piece by Ann Carrington, it’s an amazing picture of Debbie Harry made of buttons… yes you heard right, buttons. That is just ingenuous and inventive in my book. The picture below is showing the art in the lounge/library area created specifically for the store, a perfect spot for the men to sit back, relax and read while the women shop.

So amazing don’t you think! There is more “button” art from Ann Carrington’s website and here are my favorites… these photos offer a nice closeup of each art piece to give you a sense of the detail and intricacy.

Art Wall Inspiration
I’m currently obsessed with finding art for my walls… I’m in redecorating mode on the cheap at the moment (well actually always) but I’m always looking for inspiration.
I found this photo below on a newly discovered blog Bazaar of Serendipity and I instantly was attracted to the colors and layout of this wall (Image from Southern Living). According to La Dolce Vita blog, the images are all from Etsy… my favorite is the fashion profile in the middle in orange. I especially like the dear heads (I think that’s what they are) placed in and around the art, giving it some visual interest. In addition, notice how there are different colored frames adding texture and depth.
I found this beauty over at luxe + lillies blog, I wouldn’t use these particular photos but I like the general idea. A black wall littered with white frame and continued with black and white photography, super slick. I’ve always wanted to have a black wall but I live in a rental… one day for sure!
