Valentines Day!

"Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection.(Wikipedia)

LOVE!.. what a topic... what a feeling.. what an inspiration... It governs our lives... It fulfills our lives.. Its an addiction and a drug! Here is a room composed with what I LOVE! Happy Valentines Day all!
Enjoy..

Nudes!

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting great artist Jeanette Hubbell from Atlanta, US (artjeanette@hotmail.com). Jeanette has an amazing eye for colour, a great range of artwork, from abtracts to portraits and her nudes are amazingly graceful and full of movement! As you all know I think nudes are so sexy especially in bedrooms, and always a little racy for the average household! If it also appeals to you, dont hold back! The human body is beautiful! Dont hide it:)

Here is a new master bedroom is created around this stunning nude she created!

Enjoy!

I came across a great piece of artwork, Art Deco meets sexy black lace and decided to create a living room around it! You'll be the judge on whether it would be a space you would be happy to live in or not!

Moravian Delight.......

So, I have decided that this was indeed my favourite composition. I was inspired today by a portrait of a Nun of Moravian origin (Czech republic). I was very much drawn to this woman and loved how pure her face was, and how kind her eyes are! I also loved the combination of colours used. I decided to compose a space around it with the following images!
Enjoy!

Amazing and unconventional artwork

My dear readers,

Now this is a subject matter that everyone can relate to: Artwork. Everyone owns artwork. Everyone. However, not everyone knows what will move them. Some people love abstract, some are more traditional. The point is, you must own artwork that moves you, or speaks to you. I personally love abstract artwork, because it can mean something different everyday. You can make your own interpretation of the painting. Please enjoy the following images!.. Maybe one will struck a cord with you....
