WHAT DO I DO WITH MY 'KNICK-KNACKS'?

Once the furniture is put in place, the lighting sorted and the rugs lay, how do I put in all the decorator pieces. There are so many things to consider such as colour, shape, size, style and even content. If you want help to get you started have a look at this video for some answers.

CREATE ART WITH YOUR BUTTONS

Devotion
Mixed media found object installation at Haines Annex, San Francisco, CA
Dimensions variable, 1991

We all love to recycle and create from what is lying around but this amazing artist
Lisa Kokin has gone to the next level and created art that is not only unique but inspiring. She creates individual sculptures as well as art gallery installations and then when you think she cant get anymore creative she brings out a book. Not the written kind but the creative kind.
I love her work and imagine if she doesn't already wear glasses she might have to in the future with the intricate works she produces.
