Editor's Note: Today I am wearing Diane Von Furstenberg, scarf by Sonia Rykiel and shoes by Giorgio Armani.
When I have a long period of time like I did for my Palm Springs job I am able to find and collect amazing fabrics, accessories, and art work. I feel like I collected from all over the country and great artists whose art work fit perfectly in all the rooms of this house. We found some of the art locally and many of the artist believe it or not we found on Instagram! I find Instagram has been an incredible tool to find artist from all over the country. The artist work doing either custom pieces or a piece I have seen on Instagram. I also had a favorite art gallery in Baton Rouge which sadly closed after I bought art for this project. I discovered this gallery two years ago on a trip visiting my son Harrison at LSU. They displayed only locally artist. So my blog today is on the original pieces that I found for this oh so fun project! I hope you enjoy this art as much as I had fun purchasing it!
The artist who did this custom chandelier is out of Arkansas. He actually came to Palm Springs to build the chandelier on site. We discovered him at Rutherford's in Dallas.

This artist I found on Instagram. I feel in love with this painting that she had posted and inquired. I was just as thrill when I received it as I was intrigued by the picture.

This is another Blue Print find that we saw the day before a gallery open house. We had to make a snap decision so that it could be marked sold for the open house. Thank goodness my client makes quick decisions!

I love using tiny pieces of art on side tables. This also came from Baton Rouge! As did the marble vase on the left.

This artist is represented at Blue Print and this piece was actually at Design Inspirations last spring. The tablescape that I do a table for every year. I walked in and saw it and came back with my client's fabrics and it was perfect!

This darling cup and saucer oil painting I also found in Baton Rouge.

This fish came from the Baton Rouge gallery as well and he has quite the personality!

We found this artist on Instagram and he is from Russia. Can't believe I was able to do business with someone from Russia through the internet. Amazing!
