Local Obsessions: Emma Overman

From the moment I stopped by Emma Overman's booth at the Penrod Art Fair, I have been completely obsessed with her work. It is playful, poignant, and brings you into a fairytale world that is truly imagination at it's best. Someday, when I have kids I'm going to fill their rooms with this stuff. Her work is some of my favorite and is a local commodity that I hope to someday own!

Design Searching

We are hopefully closing on our new house (EEK!YAY!WHAT?!) within the next two weeks and naturally my mind has been in a design dreamworld. While B is focused on number crunching I can't help but think about paint swatches and furniture arranging. This, my friends, is why I would be lost without him.

It seems like there is slightly less wall space than we have now so I'm trying to figure out how to showcase all our artwork. When I saw this on Design*Sponge I thought, "Now this could work." So we'll see what ends up happening but this is a definite possibility. I love the clean background with all the pops of color and texture. It's a little eclectic, but it's us. Exactly what I'm looking for. Next, the ongoing conundrum of paint colors.

STRESS RELIEF

Things at work are getting NUTS so sometimes its good to have a moment of zen every once and a while. JacksonPollock.org is one of my favorite places to escape even if it is just to move from one window of my browser to another. Every time you click your mouse, a new color appears. Go ahead, splatter away.
