DREW DOGGETT PHOTOGRAPHY

We have the pleasure of having 13 pieces of Drew Doggett's photography curated at our Canvas Interiors  Winter Park location.  It is such a beautiful collection and enhances the feeling of our space in a way I cannot describe. Imagine what a piece would look like in your home.  

Maybe you need one large statement piece.  Or a collage of smaller pieces.  We can order an array of sizes and framing options for you and happily talk you through the options. 

For more information go to our website to see Drew's work and the multitude of price points available. Feel free to email hello@canvasinteriors.com with any questions.

GALLERY WALLS

Rather than spread pictures out here and there around the house I prefer to group them. Maybe it is my way of compartmentalizing life therefore feeling more organized? (deep thoughts I know).  Mostly I just like the visual impact of a group of similar yet different items. 

The great part of this concept for me is that it is an ongoing creative project. I keep my eye out for images I can add to the wall. It is something that will organically grow when the right art presents itself.  I like the hunt (flea markets are my favorite thing in the world) so to have a collection to curate fits right in with that part of my DNA. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy or well known. I just have to love it. Which makes the whole thing more meaningful. 

Here is our little salon dining area.  A little sparse to start but I have to love it for it to go on the wall. So we take our time. Some pieces are photography I purchased during my 1st life an Art Buyer. Early on I was making very little money but had access to talented and very nice photographers.  Some pieces my Mom has sent me from our childhood home. Some old, some new. Paintings, drawings, vintage book pages.  This mix of genres and memories makes me happy. 







The goal for me is to make it feel full but not too full. Different but not too disjointed. Isn't that going to be fun?  I love a challenge.

MINTED

During the holiday or New Years card frenzy you have no doubt looked at minted for their unique and beautifully designed cards.  If you have had a bambino or hosted a baby shower you have probably looked at their special birth announcements and baby shower invites too.

Minted curates beautiful designs from a global community of independent artists. Their philosophy and business model supports and celebrates the independent creatives of the world which is rather cool. I am usually on a focused mission to get the holiday card thing done but when you dig deeper on the site there is a lot to see. 

Here are a few things I love about minted that I didn't have the time to really absorb during holiday card frenzy time:

personalizable photo backdrops, banners and other party accessories



We did a photo booth for our multi-family adults/kids New Years Eve party and next year I will definitely be ordering one of these customizable backdrops for 2015. I so wanted to make gold banners  like this for New Years but I am not the most hands on craft person. With that in mind, check out the Valentines party kit.


art prints



Find unique prints and see them in context on a wall, or next to a human being. This is SO helpful. We lived with a giant taped together piece of paper on our dining room wall to help us decide if we wanted one large piece or a gallery wall of smaller collected pieces.  We decided to go for the gallery wall and I will be adding this one to it. Its called Dirty Chevron.


Here are a few more I have my eye on that would mix well with other genres on the dining room gallery wall:

On a philanthropic note, minted supports Every Mother Counts.  A very heartwarming cause founded by Christy Turlington.

All in all minted is a feel good place to spend a little time.
