Now I'm an Artist!

I know I'm pretty late to the party, but I just came across an app that is so fabulous I had to share. It's called waterlogue and takes any photo and turns it into a beautiful work of art. Look at what I created!

See!!  Amazing, right?

Mid Century Modern @ West Elm

While sourcing furniture for a new client who lives in a classic mid century home, I came across these new additions in West Elm.

Marble topped coffee table!!  Need I say more?  The sectional has great lines and proportions.

More marble, this time on a sleek console that wouldn't look out of place on a Mad Men set.  

Doesn't this chair look comfortable?

These are all making me wish that I had a more of a modern style home.  Luckily I can live vicariously through my clients.

But if there was anything that made my heart beat a little faster, it was definitely this lamp!  Absolutely lovely.  Brass and marble; a match made in heaven.

This painting actually looks really good in real life.  It's large and has a nice simple frame.  I recently went art shopping, and an original abstract art this size would cost a few thousand.  Not that you can really compare an original to mass produced art, but this has so much texture that it almost looks real.

I was really impressed by this glass pendant.  It's large enough that it can be used alone over an informal dining table and has a lovely glow when lit.

Which are your favorites?

I had to do a double take though.  Me, actually win something?  Then I thought that maybe they give this to everyone?  But no, I checked, it really is legit.  So thank you Houzz for the badge and recognition, and thank you friends for supporting me!
