DIY Painting Project

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member designingmainstreet from the Su Casa group: I fell in love with this painting at Crate and Barrel last week. It would be perfect for our mantel but it's way too big. After dreaming of this painting all night I decided to take matters into my own hands. It was time to get creative and try out my painting skills. After a quick stop at the craft Read more

Creative Framing and Artwork Display Ideas

Here's a post from OnSugar blog House of Anais: I love this idea from Crate and Barrel to hang pictures with ribbons from a natural branch of birch. And the branch itself is hanging from curtain tiebacks. It's a stunning but casual idea and easy to do at home, too — no major tools required! Like what you see?

High-Heeled Shoe Artwork Trend

Last week, when I was poring over some of the lovely design photos from California-based designer Tamara Kaye-Honey, I paused in adoration when I spotted this powder room. My favorite element? It would have to be the charming high-heeled framed paintings that flank the venetian mirror over the sink. This is a powder room with a definite feminine sensibility, communicated in part by those fab Read more

Sheep Sculpture

I've talked about the artists who designed this sheep at length on CasaSugar before. (I spotted the sheep last week at the Kips Bay Show House in New York.) It was designed by a French sculptor couple, about whom there was a major exhibit last year at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. Can you guess who? Name either the husband, wife, or their last name. Read more

Sculpture by Artist Gidon Bing

I discovered Auckland, New Zealand-based sculptor and painter Gidon Bing through one of Todd Selby's ever-intriguing photo shoots, showcasing the artist's studio. Bing focuses mainly on modern, bent plywood sculpture and furniture. His minimal, free-form work is reminiscient of midcentury artists like Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi but feels decidedly contemporary — not "retro" — Read more

Photos of Artist Hayley Gaberlavage's New Orleans Studio and Apartment

In February, I took a trip to my old stomping grounds of New Orleans and visited artist Hayley Gaberlavage, whose work I featured on Casa in September. I met Hayley through another NOLA artist, Amanda Stone Talley, and both, with their sweet Southern hearts and innate, nonpareil style, were instant friend crushes. Hayley lives on the coolest block of Magazine Street, one of the most vibrant, Read more
