Shell Art to Italy

One of the most unexpected and delightful aspects of beginning Patti’s Artful Design has been the connections made, through my art, with people from all over the world. 

Decorating has always been such a personal statement in my own life, that when a client provides a glimpse into their  decorating style, I am not only thrilled, but honored by it.

This art piece is one of my favorites.  Along with the pleasure of creating this piece,  I was very fortunate to have it featured in the Summer/Fall 2009 issue of Live Artfully magazine….along with some of my other art pieces, as well.  The photo below is courtesy of Jenny Malott.  (As a side note, you can view more of Jenny’s beautiful photography in this month’s issue of Romantic Homes magazine featuring her Remnants of the Past photography.)

This mirror had to travel a great distance to arrive to its new home….I must say, I was a bit worried….

…but it made it with little mishap.  I love the, stunningly beautiful…so serene, vignette that my client has created with this sea-inspired, neutral color palette! The bombe chest is beautiful, in itself, but take a closer look at those handles….just lovely!  And the lamp…oh my:)

My art piece is, now placed, in the perfect location….a lovely, sea-inspired home on the island of Sardinia, Italy:)

I will be joining the following parties this week:

-Masterpiece Mondays with Boogie-board Cottage

-White Wednesdays with Faded Charm Cottage
