Pop Art


Art can be fun too.


In traditional spaces, I see this art for a bar, kitchen, pantry, or funky kitchen nook. Taking an unconvential view, an unexpected surprise in the living room or hallway.  Do not let the pictures fool you.  These are large pieces ranging from 2-5 feet in height.

Louis Vuitton Trunk

A Classic Touch


 Vintage Louis Vuitton Trunk ($29,995)


An old trunk adds interest, history, and mystery to a room.  It's an excellent eclectic multi-functional item.  It is one of those items that integrates with almost any style - Modern, Contemporary, Traditional, Bohemian, Asian, or Transitional. 

A Louis Vuitton trunk is pure opulence.  Do note a vintage trunk is an inspiration piece - meaning you can certainly locate one for less than $29,995.  Search for deals at flea markets, thrift stores, or on eBay. 

Dimensions: 36" w x 20" d x 20" h

Artist Gaze - Antonio Herman

Antonio Herman

While researching a non-art related topic, I happened on Antonio Herman's work.  The above work has an arresting stillness with a subtle yin yang playfullness.  Herman's art ranges from subtlety to dynamism.
