Amazing 100% Handcrafted Sculptures


I love the new Giavanni Giftware Collection. Right when I saw this handcrafted sculpture, I was drawn to it. This piece in particular is a collector's item and has been designed and 100% handcrafted by the Giavanni team.  Their unique talents and imaginations turn each creation into a beautiful gift ..or decoration. You can see I bought one for my room. It goes so well with red (curtains, bead spread, red painted room). Also, because of the lady's red dress it goes with brown tones.

My Inspiration For This Blog


For years I have had people telling me I had an eye for picking out decorative and unique everyday piece's that add vibrancy and style to one's home or life.
It wasn't until I came across the blog entitled The Sartorialist that I decided to share this interest of mine with the world. The Sartoralist is a blog, contrarily about fashion, but involves a man that goes around Manhattan with a camera and takes pictures of clothing that inspire him. Today his blog is one of the top 50 most influential blogs in the world and attracts more than 70, 000 readers daily.
Although I am a trained chemist and have a Masters degree in engineering, I believe everything has sense structure and chemistry, just in various forms.
I hope this blog inspires you to be more in tune with your surroundings and to appreciate the things in life allow you to express yourself and be creative.
Yes, this is a minimalist blog, but I hope you will find it mesmeric and oddly beautiful in its simplicity.We’re sorry, but this item cannot be shipped outside of the US.

Vibrant South African Art


I don't know about you, but I have always been inspired by South African art.This picture was painted for a women's day celebration is South Africa by Marietjie Henning. The flow of the vertical lines I found quite relaxing. Also the contrast in such vibrant colors stood out from a mile away and seemed to create a conversation with every person that walked by. I really like the movement of their heads and how the painting has a sense of magic to it.

Inspiration From Africa

Freddie Skinner who is an artist, sculptor, self-trained interior decorator and architectural designer, uses Africa as the inspiration for his artwork. After completing a National Diploma in Commercial Art, he spent the following years exploring various artistic styles and techniques and can now be described as one of the most versatile artist known to South African art lovers.

Abstract Art With Rich Color


Lucy Liew is a Malaysian-American artist whose paintings have been described as a “rich tapestry of color” a reference to her colorful, multi-layered painting style. Her artwork is characterized by a vivid color palette, rich cultural iconography, and captivating symbolism. The blend of colors and abstract work never fails to impress.
