Art Buying Blitz

So, of course, we are on the same wavelength despite the distance between us. How immensely comforting is that? I am also re-decorating my bedroom as, *gasp*, I have finally moved my sewing studio to a new location. That's not my house. Or more specifically, my bedroom.

Huge.

This is huge.

My purchases so far have included a 100 year old whitewashed wrought iron bed frame and a wardrobe trunk form the same era. I'm on the hunt for a dresser. Torn between juxtaposing a mid-century piece with the antiques or staying on theme. Thoughts?
I have the paint narrowed down to four shades of soft black. I'm making a cave.

The most fun I've had, however, is buying art on Etsy. I tried to keep to an ethereal, slightly dark (contradictory?)moody palate and subject matter.

Here's what I got:

Lovely Print of Northern Ireland by Marco Suarez.


A great deal on an artists proof from the series Human Nature and a large scale black and white poster by Debbie Carlos.






And a few small airy prints from British artist Olivia Jeffries.

  1. Oooh! What a GRAND idea, going to etsy for images to go in the boudoir! I'm totes stealing yer idee-ers.

    Also, I find it funny that we're both going for nature-based, dark-motif, womb-rooms! What a wovewy woom idea! (again, gross)

    I cannot wait to see the results!
