Decor Arts Now

Matisse

I simply could not help myself.  I just had to do it.  

I have been collecting images featuring emerald green for weeks on my tumblr.  (I buck the trend and spend little time on that other pin site.  Although I initially pinned like crazy, the only thing I have pinned in about a year are images from my Design Dictionary column!  I honestly can’t figure out how to keep up with all of these social media things.)

Then St. Patrick’s Day rolled around and images featuring Pantone’s color of the year seemed to upload to my blog all by themselves.  I do hope you will forgive this “obsession session” and tolerate a rare,  long run of images.  I am done with words now. 

All photos are on my tumblr where sources are noted.  I collected these images starting in February 2013.

1. This has got to be the best hostess gift ever!  (Hint my future guests in Montauk)  How about a  goody box  filled with items that evoke one of your hostess’ favorite movies, cities or books.  Paris works for me!  Via the always sparkly Glitter Guide.

2. Hurry up and make homemade Limoncello, so you can enjoy it late this summer.  It needs to cure for 3 weeks. Recipe here. Found via The Daily Basics.

3. Click on Anne’s credits in this look’s  shopping guide to discover some  new sources for Swedish goodness.

4. I always love a rainbow, don’t you?

5. What my frying pan looks like each summer morning (well, more like noon)  as I feed my strapping teenaged boys.

Have a great week.

Where are these images coming from?  I gather my inspiration on my tumblr, found at www.decorartsnow.tumblr.com.  While there is always something to read at Decor Arts Now, my tumblr is a visual feast.  Sources for the rainbow photos and the frying pan can be found there.

It is on my tumblr where I post pictures of the “art” I find in the everyday, in fields as diverse as food, fashion, travel, lifestyle, and, of course, interior design.  There are very few words apart from sources.  For some reason, my links have on my tumblr have not been working, but I will figure that out for the next go ’round.

Not in the mood to pore over a lengthy article?  Well now you know where to go to just look!
