Jo's place
Mon, 26 May 2008
Thought I'd share a quick photo of my weekend project. I've been rearranging one of my walls in my dining area (would love to say "room" but as a lot of you know 2 bedroom apartments don't normally stretch to a separate dining room). Happy with this for the moment. On to the next project.

wow I love it - beautiful use of colour!
Looks FABULOUS, as per usual. You go girl!
Looks great - love your table!
Hey Jo,
I really love your style!
The coffee table is great! did you paint the legs??
Take Care,
Jordan cappella
Wow! Amazing! I thought for a second this was a photo from a design magazine. Great layout, very creative use of layering. Love the objects chosen. I even love how the quote on the painting is "framed" by the negative space created by that white frame. Quite lovely. Great job!
I am in love with the painting. Who's the artist?
Tasha, Jo created the painting/collage. Isn't she talented?!
Wow is right! Such an eclectic mix. Love the painting. Love the frames. Love the lamp. What does the rest of the area look like? More pictures please Ms Jo.

Thanks everyone! It'll probably stay like that for a short time and then I'll change again. I'm a shocker like that. The collage is one of mine. It's a work in progress.
Forgot to say that I did paint the legs Jordan. You know me and a piece of furniture. If it can't run away then I paint it. The legs were a dark stain but were too dark for the area and with that huge black marble top it was all too heavy. I needed some red in the room too. Voila painted red base!
That painting is fantastic!
Where did you get those white frames? I think I really really need them :)
now hang on, do my eyes deceive me or does your beautiful artwork say 'my heart wanders'?!! Jo jo jo, it is unreal! are you going to send me photos of it or just tease me with this one? I love this Jo, how cool does it look with that lampshade and the frames, it's all awesome. you rock.
If I had a decent camera or more importantly if I could take a decent picture I would. I am a hopeless photographer. When I was creating it on Saturday I was trying to think of some words to go with the idea I was working on and your phrase just popped into my head Pia :) Thanks Claire and Susie the frames are vintage and I've had them forever!
jo, i have to add my voice to the chorus and say i am so continually impressed by your eye. i have "jo's place" bookmarked. you need to help me out with my new place.
Eric thanks :) Of course I'll help with your new place. Wait to you see what I have in mind for my sofa!
