I’m a firm believer that the beauty of objects we use every day enhances our simple daily rituals. That doesn’t mean every meal should be eaten off Royal Dalton china with fine silver, but we do eat with our eyes as much as our mouths, so why not help even the most ordinary of meals […]
There is so much cynicism to be had in this world, that sweetness and innocence seem to get lost in the shuffle. What drew me to the work of Scottish artist Catriona Miller is its charming purity. Her figures gaze coyly to the side, just a hint of a smile on their lips. It’s as […]
In the book I’m currently reading, The Opposite of Fate, author Amy Tan writes a great deal about the concept of fate, how much of what happens is in our own control or predetermined or even mere chance? In that same vein, how much control does an artist truly have in the creative process? Yucca […]
While most of the time I’m drawn to saturated “happy” color, occasionally my soul calls out for a little moody darkness. So when I laid my eyes upon the work of photographer Sarah Johanna Eick at The Red Arrow Gallery here in Joshua Tree, the quiet power in the work took hold of me and […]

love the colors!
What I like about this is that the painting doesn’t exactly “match” the interior, they both complement each other in subtle ways.

Who wouldnt want to live in such a home
geez louise (geez lesley?) i just spent like 20 mins in the fawn galli site…
You’re welcome. 😉
Wow, Ms. Forager… you found a winner. I almost invariably detest that 60s-modern home decor (sorry… my taste runs to traditional proportions), but this room just *works*. The colors are fantastic… putting a twisted spin on the modern and the (typically) feminine palette.

Great take on this room, Gabriel!
I love those pink chairs! ~Chris Ann
i NEED everything in this room, so amazing!
