Sometimes you just need a lion in your corner.

I promise you I'm still working on my home tour, as requested. But we had a few random things happen- like a fallen chandelier, that still needs repair. Until then, enjoy some of my favorite bits from my friend's homes.

One of the reason's I love to photograph personal homes & details... is because to me it's so intimate and special to tell a story through a person's living space. I think sometimes it expresses so much more than just pretty imagery. 

So welcome - a details tour of the former home of artist, Sarah Dawn Helser. Sarah has such unique style- like no one I've ever met. She has this modern lightness, mixed with strange patterns, quirky pieces, textures and edges that work together. Her style is always changing and morphing into a new beautiful expression. During this season that I photographed her home, she was experimenting more with texture and color on more clean wall spaces. She actually hand stitched many of those pillows, and both of those amazing chairs- she made them! I know right? I have seen this home take shape in a million different shades and directions- I'm pretty sure this one is my favorite. Sarah uses a lot of selective thrifted items, but incorporates them in a modern way. Now the artist has moved into a quaint little space full of new corners to explore and I can't wait to see her new flavor... and possibly get an editorial shoot in the works... ;) don't you love this space?

Do What You Love- Anna from The Panic Room Videos on Vimeo.

Rifle Paper Co. is maybe my favorite all time illustration company. Anna Bond paints the way I imagine! I emailed back & forth with her business partner (husband) Paul last summer to get an interview with Anna, but she was in Paris one week, then she was doing a feature with Martha Stewart, and now she has a set of cards, notebooks etc... in Anthropolgie & Papersource this year! And then I got too busy to pursue her post. But I came across this video and remembered my original thought. I am so inspired by this girl... so I thought I'd share a little video from the blog, pacing the panic room...

So get out there and do your thing! You never know what may happen, you could start as a doodler and wake up in Martha Stewart!
