Kerry Steele Inspiration Board


As you know, I love adding a piece of abstract art to any room. It adds a fresh and modern element and mixes beautifully with Chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, traditional, you name it. Kerry Steele has just completed three new pieces on linen that I wanted to share with you. The linen adds such a wonderful textural quality that is even more beautiful in person.

I had fun creating a little vignette with the piece shown above and just below entitled "Two Temples." I combined it with a Dorothy Draper chest, two preppy pink vases, and a navy chrome Harry Allen pig bank. This would be so fun in an entryway, a nursery, or next to a bed. I love the combination of black, gold, pink, and navy. 

Below are the three new works on linen. The fist two are in her Etsy store and I have provided links in the captions. If you are interested in information on the last one, you can contact Kerry at art@kerrysteele.com. View all of her work on her website and her Etsy store. Have you noticed that the One Room Challenge participants are going wild over Kerry's art?

Friday Odds and Ends


I'll bet my interior design savvy followers can help me identify this blue and white elephant toile. Any ideas? It reminds me of John Robshaw, but I can't locate it.

You know how much I love combining abstract modern art and Chinoiserie. Small pieces are wonderful in gallery walls, but they also work beautifully in a bookcase or on a piece of furniture. Here is my new work by Kerry Steele in my living room bookcase. I framed it in an acrylic frame from Michael's for about $5.

Below are other examples of combining small abstracts and Chinoiserie as well as some pieces currently available by Kerry Steele starting at $15 - $25. A budget friendly way to start a collection of modern art. Modern art is my very favorite way of freshening a room.
