Anyone who knows my jewelry designs knows I love circles. That probably has something to do with my love of Tracy Melton's Tree Rings paintings. Tracy has perfected the art of circle and color. These paintings are so affordable at under ten dollars that you can buy a bunch and place them on one wall to make a larger piece. A grid is great or you can step out of the box and randomly scatter them on your wall. Take a look at his site to see more amazing color combinations.
It's not a new idea but it's still a good one, affordable fashion. The Bitten line of clothing is quite stylish and provides a great basis for a wardrobe that is not going to break the bank. There is a lot of customer feedback about quality and sizing but many people have been very happy with the line. I find it wonderful that there is a philosophy behind this venture. With a motto that reads, "Shine brightly, spend lightly" and a manifesto that say, "It is every women's inalienable right to have a pulled-together stylish, confident wardrobe with money left over to live", this is a line I want to see succeed. Design that's affordable, what a concept.

Shopping with the big boys (and girls) for classic modern means shopping at auction houses where only the fortunate can afford to go. Sometimes nice pieces will go for prices that the rest of us can afford if we think of it as a true investment. But whether you can buy or not, looking through the upcoming or past auctions is a treat. You can discover designers and pieces you wouldn't find otherwise and enjoy wonderful examples of designer you already know and love. Here are a few interesting finds at Rago Art and Action Center's last modern sale in November.
One Home offers professional residential and commercial design services, from furniture selection to interior architectural design. Their aesthetic is primarily classic modern, however more of an eclectic look reflecting the clients' individual personalities and lifestyles is often created. I find it very appealing that they use so much wood and natural color. It creates warm spaces that don't have that overly designed look to them.
