[top image: the colors on the leaf cushion inspired me to paint the picture hanging on the wall. a vase full of casablanca lilies is on the bedside table. image directly above: christmas lilies and scented candles on an eileen gray table and a favorite kaftan hanging behind the door.]
[image above: we chose eames wire chairs specifically to contrast against our oak dining table. The chairs do not overwhelm our small dining room and most importantly, they are comfortable and light.]
[image above: the enamel coated tin containers on the shelf were from a local homeware store called nest. i love their nostalgic appeal and they’re so practical in a bathroom with limited storage.]
[image above: the hand carved wooden lampshade is a treasured wedding gift and it sits on top of a step ladder/stool from ikea. The light pendant is by iq light. hanging on the wall is artwork which i painted several years ago.]
[image above, left to right: (desk) i am constantly inspired by organic shapes. i particularly love the graceful lines of lotus pods and monstera leaves; (table) the round organic bowls were a thrift store find. the small cubed “stacking vase” was handmade by a talented etsy seller called mudpuppy. next to it is a calathea plant.
