Well.....we made it to Friday and pretty quickly I might add. Of course I am not the authority on all things "old related"....but let me just put this out there:
Time goes WAY faster when you are old
Yeah...I know pretty newsworthy right? Call the press.
Just saying.
Alrighty then....let's get down to "bidness...."
A few of you asked about the art in my recent Before and After:
The artist name is Nancy B Westfall. Even though the client is fairly traditional....we decided to add a piece of contemporary art [with color I might add] to liven up the space and keep it from being too predictable. I can be clever like that :)
It had many of the colors that we are using in other rooms of the house.
She is represented by Gregg Irby Fine Art here in Atlanta
Here are a few more images of her work.
I like this one.
Gregg represents some wonderful artist.
Christina Baker
Kate Merritt Davis
If your local please visit her gallery.
I had an artist reach out to me the other day in an email.... so I went to her website and liked what I saw!
Her name is Amy Duke...go here to see more.
Yesterday I was at Stacey Steward's blog Steward of Design
spilling the beans about my life and how I got into design. Stacey is a NEW blogger so be polite and go over to say hi! Remember when you first started out....how excited it was to get comments....please show her some love.
Annnnnndddd the last thing today is that my friend Angela from The Painted House is curating a collection for Joss and Main Tuesday, February 5. Plus...her loft was just featured in Atlanta magazine. Go check it out on her blog!
Did I give you enough to do today.....I can be somewhat bossy at times.
Enjoy the Superbowl....go _______________
You can fill in the blank :)
Shapam baby!

I can't wait for the inspiration house tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing your work in person. Happy Friday!
Love the artwork especially the truck painting! Have a great weekend!
wow...love that FORD!!!
I agree with Pura Vida ... who would have thought an old Ford Truck could bring such joy! Love the art you shared today! xo
There's nothing like the real deal! Love the picture of the old Ford....Great job on your clients home.
Thanks for sharing the artwork. I love it all. A field trip to the gallery is in order.
You are a nut!
I think the painting you picked for the space couldn't be more perfect. Original art is the best--BUY REAL ART, folks. Now who's bossy?
Thank you for spreading the word about Joss & Main--I'm excited about it!
Hope to see you hanging out in that super luxe room of yours and Lori's this weekend...
I was surprised you liked the Ford truck...you like contemporary art from what I observed..then I noticed what caught your eye! LOL "Hi occifer" Ok not exact wording...hiccup!
I looove that painting!! and i dont like pickemup trucks...but something got me :)
I love to be introduced to new artists, and am a fan of Westfalls! Thanks, and I hope you have a great weekend.

You're the best. Great way to showcase these local artists. I'm off to go check out the blogs you mentioned. Have a fab weekend!
Ha! That reminds me of the painting we created!! Hope to see you soon, angie
Aw Sherry, I so love some modern art...just something about it...love how it makes a room feel. And those are some beauties!
Yes indeed, time really does FLY when you're old like me!
Have a great weekend!

Love, love, love the art. I'll have to check out the gallery for sure. It's calling my name!

I love that piece of art you chose for your client. It is so fresh in that space. I wish I could fill up my house with original works of art!!! Or paint something other than a wall :)
Happy weekend Sherry!
Thanks so much for including our artists and the gallery in your blog. As always, I love reading your blog. I was blown over by your room at the Inspiration House. You turned a space with almost zero potential into a super cool, livable room!!
Love the pick up truck. Thanks for the art intro!
I love this art. Yes "time is flying by"....hey that phrase might catch on. I like Stacey, and already follow her. Sometimes this blogging world is huge, and sometimes it small. I don't do football, so I will be DIY-ing some stuff.
Love, love, love the art. The old Ford made me have a Bridges of Madison County moment....
Love the turquoise truck! Hope you are enjoying Super Bowl Sunday!
All that art makes me happy. Now I am going to Stacey's blog.
Great art! I love that FORD, my dad had one just like it. :)
Ohhhh, so glad for the introduction! I love the art you're sharing here!
I would love to see more like the pick up truck! really cool!
So happy to see your love for Christina Baker's work! Your choice of the Nancy Westfall piece is brilliant-- it completely enlivens the space!
