swoon w drooz: week 24:a Modern Royal

Watch out Kensington Palace... No British stuffiness allowed for this new modern royal baby nursery!

here's my top picks for the new baby (boy or girl?) .... a combination of traditional (SilverCross Pram) & modern (bold metal crow wall sconces), splashed with Princess Kates love of color (drooz studio Modern Prince & Princess art), and Prince Williams fondness for travel and exotic places (the ethnic patterned rugs), a heavy dash of humor and light heartedness.. & of course, all topped off with a silver baby spoon.

swoon w drooz: week #23 Hudson Valley Weekend

i'm headed to the beautiful Hudson Valley area tomorrow... a weekend of friends, antiquing fun & food! mainly we are going to check out the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY (can't wait!) ... but we will also be making stops along the way to explore and recharge our creative energy. we are staying at Americas oldest continuously operated Inn (the Beekman Arms) - that in itself should prove very interesting! heres some goodies that i hope too see (and possibly purchase?) over the weekend! many are features from the new Country Living store at Wayfair.com, and some are stores in the Hudson Valley area, and some are from vendors that will actually be at the weekend fair.. happy weekend!

combined with my great love of decor & home.. and the fact that my art is often turned into products & art for decor, i have to admit my biggest inspiration when creating a new design is to imagine the room or space my work may inhabit someday. envision it live.

the story it will help tell. the visual journey it may invoke.

the place it will adorn & the items it will share it with.

the way it might make one swoon.

swoon w drooz # 20: NYC love

I love New York City. You could take me away there anytime..

(i'm going this weekend... Brooklyn Flea, old friends, and art museums - can't wait!)

this swoon with drooz board was inspired by my

Take Me Away: New York artwork for Green Box Art.

The rug reminds me of the NYC crosswalks, the chair (appropriately named the "Madison" sings of Central Park, the bookcase: a tall skyscraper (and also sold by my favorite NYC store ABC Home). Tote your belongings in style in the iconic black and white stripe designed Henri Bendel rolling case (flagship store at 5th ave) ... now just fill the closet with some high fashion and good walking shoes - and you are ready to roll.
