I absolutely love looking at art and spend a lot of time searching out new artists and galleries to share with clients. Art is subjective. There are so many different artists and genres available. While some collectors focus on one singular style of art, I believe the best collections contain a variety of styles. Not unlike a wine collection. Many aficionados have a certain grape and region they adore and buy more of, but isn't it fun to explore new varieties? With a good cheese board of course.

I also love when a traditional home or room has a modern art piece juxtaposed into it. Or the reverse for a modern home. Just be open to seeing new styles. You never know what will stand out to you.

I wanted to show a few artists in an array of styles that I continue to go back to lately. Let me know if you have a favorite to share with me. I would welcome any opportunity to see someone new. A day spent strolling art galleries is a day well spent!

These are just a few of many artists I have saved in my files. If you or someone you know is looking for art, please let me know if I can help.
Talk to you in June, when I am sharing my favorite frozen drinks around Dallas just in time for summer days.
Cheers!

With warmer weather, sunny skies, flowers blooming and spring break, what's not to love about the month of March? It may not be official, but spring has sprung.

We also get the opening day of baseball on March 28th (GO RANGERS!), the first day of spring on March 19th, and March Madness begins Sunday, March 17th. Mark your calendars for all the big dates.

One thing that almost all my clients have in common is their love of entertaining. If you plan on hosting friends and family in your gorgeous home to celebrate the spring weather and sports, I've got a few ideas below to make life a little easier for you and your guests.

With those patio doors open and backyard shindigs beginning, I love the idea of this beverage tub customized with your name. When it's time for a party, just grab it from the garage and fill with your favorite drinks and plenty of ice so your friends can easily grab a drink. Cheers!

If you are firing up the grill or just serving take out, this melamine serving collection is great looking, neutral to go with any decor, and won't break outside. 

Almost everyone has heard that the scent of citronella keeps mosquitos away, but did you know lavender also repels those darn bugs?  Trader Joe's has seasonal lavender that make a simple centerpiece for dining outside, and a sprig tucked into a napkin ring makes a pretty touch to your table scape. Here is an article with additional plants that repel bugs you can consider when it's time to spend more time outdoors. 

If you need new outdoor furnishings, accessories or help styling a party, you know where to find me!
Happy Spring everyone!
