the new botanical art

The Decorista April 1, 2014

Yesterday, while antique hunting with my 96 year old grandmother, she leans over to me and says "floral art is coming back, Ash, you know the moody kind". As if she was giving me the inside scoop like bonds on Wall Street or something. ha! She is the best grandmother I could have ever asked for. Seriously.

The funny thing is, earlier that morning, I was talking to one of my besties, Nicole, and she was saying the same thing. She just came out with her new series of moody floral photos and I want every single one of them. I could just imagine this piece sitting beautifully on a big white wall in a bedroom.

It reminds me of the Aestate's watercolor Beverly series.

I really am into this greenery as art thing...especially the moody-ness of it. Grandma was really onto something...How about these jungle like leaves? Something like this could be so chic in a powder room or pool house.

Now back to the florals. I am so fond of this print, tim robison roses...

...and last but certainly not least, while browsing on pinterest I found Thomas Darnell. This gorgeous man who paints peonies. { oh, and Born in San Antonio, Tx. I've got to support my native Texans. }

brick & modern

The Decorista March 27, 2014

Every once and a while I get in the mood for strictly modern spaces. What's needed to soften those spaces are furnishings that are soft & sweet. Dripping femininity chandeliers, brick walls, antique pieces, etc. Especially in Austin, there is an influx of these places. While adhering to the sunny Austin weather, where walls are windows now, pools are essential and lots of exposed brick & wood make the look complete. This South African home tour completely inspires my current design vibe...

The high ceilings and natural light in this place just give the essence of vacation while in your very own home. I can just imagine the warm breeze blowing through. I'm inspired by this magic.

When trying to achieve this look the thing you have to remember is keeping things simple, clean and elegant is a must. Even if your home can't look this clean, just adding a few of the modern/rustic elements can give you the vibe. Take for example this wood table lamp or a wood tree stump, these can add the exposed wood element to the mix. Then throw in a few metal chairs to the mix, a curvy chandelier or two and always feel free to add some chic and simple urns to the mix. Voila! Rustic, modern glamour.
