Out and about all morning meant I got back to spring cleaning this afternoon, and I focused on the powder room. What to photograph in there? I decided on the large artwork reflected in the vintage oval mirror.
We love the uniquely created art of Schaefer/Miles; and John actually won this piece — the largest in our collection of their work — in a raffle! The memory of that thrilling day makes me smile. The artists, a husband and wife team, collaborate on each piece with Wendy painting the broader elements and Kevin painting the details. Being nature lovers ourselves, we appreciate their love of nature and their ability to bring a scene to life with lovely light and vivid colors.
Mike and I found the mid-century Italian toleware mirror at an antique show and fell in love with its pretty flowers and pair of birds — chipping paint and all!
I praise you, Lord, for art, which adds great joy to life.
This is just gorgeous. When I first seen it I was unsure how the photo was taken until I read your words. I love the wallpaper on your wall, the mirror you have and the artwork. Such a gorgeous glimpse into your powder room. I also love the idea of you photographing something from each room you clean. I think I may just pinch this idea. Thank you for the inspiration :)
what a clever use of framing here. I like your idea of taking a snippet from each room as you go around doing the spring cleaning. I fear that if I tried the same, I might spend more time on the photography than the cleaning.
