I have had this link of a Russian artist’s website for a while. I think I had seen it on NOTCOT. This art, while weird, is hauntingly beautiful.

I love seeing how people group objects together to form a vignette. Whether you do it with objects similar in colour or objects of the same form or just plopping a bunch of knickknacks down on top of a dresser, I like to think of it as art. And it’s something you can switch around often to keep things interesting in your home. I know – I do it ALL THE TIME.

Elle Decoration

Scott Sanders started his New York based design firm in 2000. When he decided to rent a summer house for 10 weeks one summer, the owner agreed to let him redecorate it. For $2500 he turned it into one “groovy pad” (it appears with lots of help from Ikea).

I am pretty excited to finally have this project finished. My bathroom is the last of the 2.5 bathrooms in this house to be redone. It still needs new flooring but so do the other bathrooms so that’s a project for another time. We’re not planning on keeping this house for very long so we can’t do too much to the house without thinking of resale but I had to go a little nuts somewhere – and it might as well be my bathroom. This cost about $650 – that’s for the sink, faucet, knobs, light fixture, paint, accessories, art, molding around art, mirror, shower curtain…etc. I’m curious to hear your comments.
