i was browsing Megan's blog last night, which is always full of beautiful and inspiring images. i ended up over in her new etsy shope, Lilac Saloon, where i discovered these super-cute "wallflowers". so pretty!

dirtworks by cal lane
i've been intending to share cal lane's beautiful art since i started this blog last fall...i first came across her work through the Lace in Translation exhibition at Philadelphia University.
these images, titled "dirtworks" are from a 2004 installation at Purchase University.

to me, this space is just about perfect. it has such a natural, authentic quality to it. love the sunshine reflecting off the hard materials, and the touches of shine in the chandeliers and mirrors.

-- a neighborhood walk --
matt and i took a short little sunday walk around our neighborhood before brunch. with all these trees suddenly in bloom, i think it must be the most beautiful spring i've seen since moving to philly. i love how all these colors soften the hard edges of the city- it feels so welcoming. i'm still on the hunt for a magnolia tree to photograph- they are my absolute favorite!

-- sedona arizona --
two weeks ago, i drove up to sedona arizona with my family for a few hours.
i'd never been, and thought it was so beautiful! the colored landscape was absolutely surreal, and the sunshine had a hazy, thin quality. these are some of my favorite pictures, as you can tell, i had a hard time choosing just a few!

-- beautiful blooms --
today i went to the philadelphia flower show with some of my favorite friends for the first time ever. we saw so many visually inspiring, beautiful creations! i'll post some of my photos here and on flickr over the next couple of weeks as i start to comprehend the sheer amazingness.
i thought i would start with this display from beautiful blooms, which just happens to be my favorite neighborhood flower store. using thin wire, they suspended hundreds of bud vases filled with tiny blooms and colored water from a dropped ceiling. a simple concept with an incredible effect.

over at sunset magazine, there is a very cool tutorial showing how to make a hanging succulent garden. the impact of the large version pictured above would be incredible on against a blank wall, or an arrangement of three smaller frames could work for those of city-dwellers with space constraints. the texture here is so beautiful!

-- the high line --
on saturday afternoon in New York, matt and i took an amazing walk along the High Line with our friends sara and ryan. A reclaimed elevated railway, section 1 of the route is open in the West Chelsea neighborhood, and when development is complete, the entire stretch will run one and a half miles through Manhattan. It was a perfect sunny (although windy!) day to view the city, the river, and the beginnings of spring. My friend sara is a photographer, and i can't wait to see what her pictures turn out like!

i'm hoping to have the rest of this room decorated up to standard in the next few months, but for now, here's the northern half, which we love! i hand-dyed the curtains and painted the wrought-iron artwork over the bed. the walls are a very soft warm gray, which i am finding is a great backdrop for any color i want to pop in. all the linens are from pottery barn and the blue embroidered throw i picked up on a trip to mexico years ago. there is a little cat named oski that lives here, and i think he's pretty cute.
