Today's CDJ is inspired by a post from one of my daily blog reads,
Knight Moves. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so they say. Kyle, from Knight Moves, "built" a bedroom around a painting by the abstract color master
Sally King Benedict. Once I clicked on SKB's website I was hooked. Her artwork moved straight to the top of my CDJ art list. Any piece from her collection would be treasured, but I kept returning to the painting below,
Student Pressure - possibly because the colors in the painting are similar to all the colors in my home...
It was inevitable; I was left with no choice but to "build" a room around the painting. Deciding where to "hang" it took quite awhile and resulted in many hours lost on
1st Dibs (where I found many pieces for other imaginary spaces). I think the furnishings below compliment the artwork, creating a casual yet elegant dining room.
*Drapes in Quadrille "Lyford Background" in the Shrimp on White colorway
*Narrowing down a wall color was difficult, but I think Benjamin Moore's "White Dove" is the perfect backdrop to highlight the colors in the artwork, drapes, chairs and chandelier.
See you back here on Monday when I announce the winner of the Mystery Giveaway. Don't forget to enter -
