Kate Mullin

I'm always looking for great pieces of art. 

I was pleasantly surprised while browsing One Kings Lane yesterday.

 

Meet Kate Mullin.

 

Here are a few pieces that I fell in love with! Next time I'm in Charleston, you can find me at her gallery:)

TWO

I need a drink. And it's only 1:00. I have to go to the grocery in a

 bit so I may be picking up a bottle of bubbly.

I'm not sure about you but I always feel better about drinking 

champagne by myself during the day instead of wine or liquor.

Makes me feel like it's okay to drink in the middle of the day:)

THREE

 To everyone on Pinterest, sorry I've been pin stalking lately. 

I'm not stalking you, just your awesome board 

so you don't need a restraining order:)

FOUR

We're closing on the house SOON! Can't wait

FIVE

Since I couldn't come up with a creative post,

I'm going to pickup a paintbrush and try to be creative with that!

 Yeah, we'll see what happens!

The Oyster or the Pearl?

Which one do you like in your home?

I personally like the oyster. But a mix is great too. Something about  an oyster and being in the south. Too bad we have a little while before it's an "r" month again :(

Oyster:

 oyster shell fireplace

 oyster shell chandelier

 oyster shell lamps 

 oyster shell mirror

 oyster shell cross

 oyster shell candle holder

Shell Bust

 Oyster Shell Painting

 The Pearl:

 mother of pearl inlay

pearl knob 

 

 Mother of Pearl lamps

 Pearl Mirror

 Pearl Chandelier

 Mother of Pearl backsplash

Pearl Mosaic

The perfect combo:

L.O.V.E this bathroom! 

What will be for you? Oyster? Pear? Both?

I think some of the oyster pieces could become great DIY projects!

The Chicken Man

If you're from around here, you probably know what I'm talking about. If not, you probably think I am crazy! You may have seen in in Southern Living -Ernest Lee, The Chicken Man. Don't worry, he does paint more than chickens. He is a Columbia, SC based artist who sets up a portable gallery/studio on the corner of Lady & Harden streets and also travels to various art festivals throughout the year. He has been painting for forever and has recently decided to expand his artwork into the fashion world. Check out some if his t-shirts as well! If you don't live close or aren't passing thru, you're in luck. Some of his painting are available online here. Grab a couple...small painting start at just $20!
