Adorn the Home, Adorn the Body

August25

I walked into Urban Outfitters the other day and was taken aback when I saw a stack of these lovely Sepia Lace Frames.

Lace Frame

The are made to hold jewelry so that jewelry can be displayed as art. I like the idea of buying several  and doing a galery wall mixed with found art pieces such as vintage paint by numbers. It might be fun to even do a tea wash (you may need to apply with a brush) on a some of the framed lace  to make them look a little more aged.  Another idea would be to apply a touch of gold or silver leaf to the frame itself to give it a little aged, vintage glimmer.  It’s a perfect way to turn your jewelry into art. And the best part:  The frames are on sale!

Since I’m all about the lace today, I can’t put into words  how much I love these earrings by White Owl that are made from vintage lace.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. -Rumi

I’m Jessica and that quote by Rumi are the words by which I live.

With a BA in Art History and a MA in Interior Design, I am armed to create beautiful spaces where ever I go and I am always researching, learning and doing in pursuit of my creative endeavors. Because I needed a place  where my design ideas,  discoveries, creative whims and inspirations could call home, Design Wonderland was born. Here, in my wonderland, I curate an eclectic mix of all wonderful things that inspire me on a daily basis. Though my first loves have always been art, fashion and design, I am also inspired by my insatiable appetite for good food, good friends, new places, beautiful poetry and lots of tea. My hope is that through sharing my thoughts, you will be inspired to create something beautiful too.

Beauty is all around,

Jessica
