Modern art.....

I know all of you have been to Sarah's blog Flourish Design & Style right?  I think her site was one of the first blogs I discovered and started following.  I adore her clean, tailored style.

Awhile back she opened an Etsy shop where you can get some inexpensive modern art for your gallery wall.

What a great idea...why didn't I think of it :)

Anyway...I ordered one a couple of weeks ago.  Of course it came and then I got busy.  Duh.

BUT...I was at Target this weekend and picked up a frame that was perfect.

I put it together so that meant I had to figure out where it was going.  And....you know how that goes.  Something HAD to be changed.  Paint was involved which I did not document because I think we all know how to paint right?  

There is this little area in my kitchen, and it always looked like crap.  I have had a million things there and I would walk by and stick my tongue out it looked so bad.  I doubt it was fazed by this.

So I just left it empty for a while.

Inspiration struck yesterday.

It didn't take much....paint the box white. 

Layer a few cutting boards and a wicker tray.  Throw in some books.....

Fill up some small zinc pots.

Dig out an old ironstone pitcher.

Bam......it stays for a while.  

But then this morning I had another idea.

Just to show you how versatile this little number really is.....

I set up a bar.

Clipped some camellia from my yard.

Changed out the liquor bottles....

Added a black striped box.

So...there you have it.  A cottage look, and a more modern look but the picture works with both.

Now I know you are thinking...I could paint that myself.  Yes you could.  But the whole purpose is to support our fellow bloggers with their endeavors....


You know you'll never get around to it anyway.

And I for one think she came up with a darn swell idea.

Way to go Sarah....I LOVE mine.

Before I go...a reminder about that  giveaway which you can see here

I am thinking since I am going out of town next Saturday for a week...I will pick the winner on Wednesday so I can get it in the mail before I leave!

So last chance.

By the way...Zipper is doing much better.  I bought some Gas-X for the next time.  Much cheaper.

Have a wonderful week....may the force be with you....
