Flowers have been on my mind lately. First, I received some lovely ones for my birthday earlier this month from three different people, all different versions! They are currently brightening up my office, and I hope I can keep them alive.
My other flower musings have been related to Amy Merrick, a New York City-based florist and stylist who does gorgeous work. I love looking at her Instagram feed, reading her blog, and hearing about her latest projects, like doing the flowers for the recent celebrity-studded dinner for the Punk fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum! She is truly an artist and I find her photos very calming and inspiring.

All this flower exposure prompted me to use some beautiful heavy-weight "Flurry Sunshine" paper from the Paper Source in my Lundby Stockholm. This also gave me the opportunity to use my new minimodernistas ball clock, given to me by a dear friend (another birthday gift!), as well as a cowhide-print Eames chair, a blind box purchase on Mother's Day at Toy Tokyo. The black-and-white artwork by the chair is a miniature photograph from my work colleague K., who knew I'd find a use for it :)
Here's to flowers!

Muchas gracias, Mari!!
DeleteNo wonder you do such great work! You have wonderful talented friends to inspire you! :-)
ReplyDeleteAmy's work is inspiring, and while I cannot call her a friend, I certainly admire her work from afar. And she is generous to share it!
DeleteLovely chair! I must admit I was staring at the desk for a good thirty seconds, thinking that it looked extremely familiar, when a bell finally rung in my head. I have seen that desk in a tutorial by Ginger at Lola's Mini Homes. It's a tutorial I have always wanted to try but couldn't for the lack of spare plastic containers around here. Your desk is absolutely perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say it is my desk, but alas it is not! The talented Lene created it and passed it along as a gift :) Glad you like the scene.
