Our first art purchase in a very long time happened after I obsessively perused Melinda Josie<\/a>‘s website one quiet Saturday afternoon in the shop. I came across her Dalah\u00e4st Bl\u00e5<\/a> and was happy to learn that it was still available. It’s really lovely in person, and I found the perfect spot for it in the bedroom, which happens to be the Dala zone. I love the spot by the door because I can see it from bed, and I see it every time I leave the room.<\/p>\n

A bedroom side note: There is this weird nook in order to accommodate a window on my side of the bed. Our closet is in another room, so I recently grabbed a small Loop Stand which fits my heavy rotation summer wear perfectly. On the stool is a really cool Carin Wester<\/a> top I bought in Stockholm three years ago and never ever wore, until yesterday! Don’t you love when that happens? I held on long enough to figure out how to incorporate in my wardrobe – usually waiting that long is a total bust.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These encaustic pieces by Beverley Owens<\/a> are finally up on the wall. They were my first ever art purchase about 5 years ago!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My other first major art buy was this gorgeous piece by Joshua Jensen-Nagle<\/a>. He’s moving his studio to the neighborhood so we’ll hopefully be seeing more of him.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/div>\n

This collage is by Aprile Elcich<\/a>, from her The Royal Family series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I desperately want to get a new frame for this modern piece. In the photo the old frame looks nice but it really drags the piece down in person.<\/p>\n

There’s plenty more to hang, but this is a good start. And you know what, it really does FEEL more homey in here now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
