"Whimsy, luxury, humor, and, above all, STYLE ... " Doesn't every room need it? Styling and art direction firm, Creative & Sons, belives so. These Austin Texas stylists create dreams for the editorial and digital services. They're the ones that zhush the spaces and, with the photographer, craft an image that just sucks us in and leaves us panting for more. Dream weavers. Show offs.
A little amuse bouche of American born but now Australian based stylist Parish Stapleton's work. Very tasty!
I was sent a book recently that I am really excited to share with you all. It is the creation of one of my favourite stylists/designers - Shannon Fricke, and one of my favourite photographers - Prue Ruscoe. (That alone had me sold!) It's called How to Decorate, and Shannon was inspired by the decorating workshops she holds in her cottage studio in New South Wales, Australia that are all about embracing creativity and the basics on how to develop beautiful spaces in your home. Her tips are designed for decor enthusiasts of all kinds, but particularly novices who are hesitant on where to start. From creating your concept (so important!), shaping your backdrop, using colour, choosing fabrics, she touches on all the important areas that are crucial to the creation of a fabulous space. Not only is this book completely useful and my copy is bound to become dog-eared, the spaces featured inside are dreamy and inspirational. You can get your copy on sale from Potter Style.
Deep, rich, ridiculously beautiful. Simple, stunning and strikingly ordinary. Beauty in the everyday and the special. Maybe a reminder of just how singular the simple things in life can be? Take the time to look deeply into the colour and the texture, the shape and even the shabbiness. Take the time to see the world through the eyes of stylist Sarah Cave. Via Big Leo.
We all swooned over Marie Olsson Nylander's home. I know I am still in deep denial that it is not my home. Deep, deep denial. One day I WILL live there. In the mean time I can lust after her styling work. Marie Olsson Nylander via Harvest Agency.
