Did you ever wet a piece of paper and hold a marker to the surface, watching the ink slowly spread into its outermost fibers? That’s pretty much the closest I ever got to water color painting. I still look at water color images in much the same way — checking out the edges, tracing the outline of the pigments’ run for the border. So today is my homage to the glorious transparency of water. And color. Hopefully I can make it through this post before jumping the backyard fence and rushing the neighbor’s pool.
Abracadabra, homies. How do you like that magic?
Have a good one!

The watercolor pillow is deeelicioso. And yea the paper is pretty magical too.
Oh! Wowwie, wow! I didn’t realize that was actual wallpaper! Very fancy.

I recently purchased & had framed a super kooky water colour that hangs out with me here in my office. I like it – its very abstract. Fella thinks it looks like a ladies ahem moment. (use your imagination – Im trying to be um delicate!)
Love, love, love this post. I have a chair bookmarked on craigslist just like the one in the first image. I thought it had potential, just didn’t realize quite how much potential it had! But my favorite image has to be of Susie’s gorgeous room. I’ve seen it in person and it is beyond fabulous.
Oh Erin! Thank you so much for sticking my LR in your post. Good thing it’s not such a great photo — I still haven’t scraped the paint from my window panes. (Lazy!!) I love watercolory goodness. The wallpaper in the 2nd and 3rd images almost make me weep with joy… they are just that good.

I love that little West Elm pillow and even when veering away from the delicious watercolors is the Sol LeWitt sculpture. Eye candy everywhere!

Oh how I miss Metropolitan Home! Love everything about that image – the art, the way the furniture reflects in the floors fantastic!
