It makes me extremely happy to be surrounded by pieces of art that I love, so I was really excited when I came across the work of the extremely talented illustrator Jessica Durrant. She runs an Etsy shop full of absolutely gorgeous watercolor and pen works that are feminine, but retain a feel of upscale sophistication. Her prints include fashion sketches, maps, city skylines, vintage illustrations and more-all in beautiful watercolors.
I desperately needed a new look for the wall near my bed, and I was thrilled to go with two of Jessica’s gorgeous fashion illustrations. They give me a serious jolt of happy every time I glance at the wall next to my window:
When it comes to decorating, art pieces are like books to me, in that they are personal and subjective-and to me, the best decorating is personal. When you walk into a person’s apartment and find it filled with books and interesting art, these things tell you something about the occupant’s interests and personality. I’ve been on a bit of an art buying stint lately, so I can’t wait to show everyone the new piece I hung in my entryway, and the new gallery wall I created above my desk (including one of Jessica’s city skylines!) Stay tuned for that later in the week.
Love that top image. So amazing. Good choice with the black frames! They really make Jessica's gorgeous images pop.

I love Jessica Durrant! She is so talented. I agree with you- art, books, etc. help tell the story of the person who lives in the home. I love those extra details!
