Redecorating


So how do you like it?  Hannah, of Craner Design Studio designed it and I couldn't be happier.  I have kind of a strange obsession with the Tassel House in Brussels, although I've never actually been there.  For some reason, this iconic view of the staircase has always been one of my very favorite examples of Art Nouveau.  Have you ever seen something more graceful and, well, indulgent?  I sent Hannah this same image and I think she did a great job of capturing the spirit.

Now if I could just figure out how to get it on a wedding cake...

LOVE the new look...and the inspiration! Elegant and fanciful, and i'm in love with a grayscale palate these days.

Merith, I knew you'd approve!

Denver Native, I do love my art nouveau!

Mindy, thanks so much! You're very sweet!

Wanderer's Daughter, I love grayscale as well. Also, this way I don't have to worry about coordinating colors, not my strong suit.

Esi, thank you so much!

Hanne and Amy, I know, it's a beautiful building. Someday maybe I'll even see it in person!

Sam, thanks!!

Annie and Lisa, well we'll see about the cake. Not sure it will work out! But I think it's a nice idea.

Dances, I know what you mean. But I actually am not computer savvy enough to mess with anything. I'd probably end up deleting my entire blog!
