I’ve been having so much fun searching for possible places to stay in Paris this February. AirBNB – as you may have already heard – has some pretty spectacular options. If money was no object, I would likely book one of these gorgeous homes.

Ah – the first full week of 2014 is coming to an end. How is everyone doing with their resolutions?
One of the things that I want to do this year is work on my art – making and collecting. I’m getting tired of some of my old pieces and I think it might be about time to paint over them or ditch them completely and buy some new pieces. So I’m ending the week with some art inspiration.

The Interior Design Show is in a couple of weeks and I am sure to find inspiration there as well. I have definitely enjoyed attending IDS in the past.
I know it’s December and there’s a lot of Christmas decorating, baking, and DIYing floating around the blogs but I am feeling like a good injection of art would be a welcome treat right about now. So, let’s have a look at the work of Leanne Shapton, shall we?
I like the simplicity of Leanne’s line drawings and I appreciate the range in her portfolio. Leanne is a Canadian-born (Mississauga), New York City-based illustrator, author, and publisher. Read her full bio here.
Taking a tour of Troy’s online shop, Caviar20, always puts me in a good mood. Caviar20 is a beautiful site filled with unique pieces. Here are a few of my current faves…
giant leaf floor sculpture, $1250 (A modern Christmas tree, perhaps?)
Fornasetti “Temi e Variazione” #39 plate, $425 (Troy always has an awesome Fornasetti collection.)
set of op-art highball glasses, $225
Alissa Cole brass table lamps, $4800
And now…I’m going to buy a lottery ticket!
A day late with the Friday Five this week but nevermind…here we are now. I hope you all had a wonderful week. What are your weekend plans?
I was due to attend Art Toronto but I couldn’t make it in the end (the first time in a few years). I know it was another great success and I hope to be back into my Art Toronto-attending routine next year.
Thought I’d wrap up the week with some art anyway – this time with black and white line drawings from UK-artist  Ian Stevenson.
