It is a true gift to make ordinary objects like fire hydrants and Ikea ice cube trays look beautiful. It requires a trained eye, a knack for timing, and an understanding of composition and light lost on the average person. I like to think that my dear friend and college housemate Sara Redd possesses that gift, wouldn't you say? She's talented, funny, and smart as a whip. Do stop by her 365 project (one photograph a day for an entire year) and tell her hello for me!
Organized Chaos
I love the haphazard layers of this inspiration board: interesting textures, patterned ribbons, magazine clippings. But when I try to achieve a similar look on my own boards, my type-A symmetry-loving brain takes over, insisting on straight lines and no overlap. To each her own, I guess!
Personal Favorite {Perfect Pendants}
It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on Thomas O'Brien's Hicks pendant. The combination of dark navy and antique brass gives off a faintly nautical feel that I can't get enough of. While they're perfect over kitchen islands, I'd also love to use them over a dining room table or even lighting up a long hallway.
