We started our day at the Art Museum. I've run up and down those steps many times, but I've never actually been inside. Honestly, with a lack of art knowledge, I don't think I can fully appreciate the art in the museum. I mean, c'mon, a lot of naked adult-looking-babies dancing a jig in a creek is not my idea of art, but hey, what do I know. But the frames were very cool! It made me want to grab a can of neon spray paint and get to work!
The art wasn't very exciting to me, but I loved what I saw in other ways. I love the tiny acrylic block with the number - the text stands out really well and you get some depth and shadows. I loved the silver teapot - the way they mixed warm wood with cool silver is really beautiful. I loved the floor in the museum - the design is really interesting. I loved the colors in one of the many historically accurate rooms - the color combination is beautiful.
After leaving the Art Museum, we headed to Jones for lunch; a retro designed restaurant. It's good, traditional American food and my burger was beyond delicious. The menu's were very cool. I loved the color overlay on top of the b&w photo.
I already tried the color overlay on a few photos and I'm loving it. Can you tell that we boost Cam's confidence a lot?
Once we finished our wonderful (and very filling) lunch, we decided to walk it off with a trip to some sweet shops...
Jack Willis was a very inspiring place.
bold wall design packed with art. awesome. |
I love that the unmentionables are hanging instead of just laying on the shelf. |
great text organizaion. love the mix of type. |
I've seen a lot of things in fireplaces, but this may be the best! |
white shelfing with black trim. stunning. |
Paper Source is a fabulous store that we spent a lot of time in! Actually, we only left because we couldn't afford to stay any longer. I definitely made some exciting purchases in that store! If I had a big enough wall, this scratch map would have been mine.
Next was Urban Outfitters:
love the colors and design of these shelves |
We saved the best for last - Anthro. And I'll save that for tomorrow. Overall, it was a very inspiring day and I am dying to find ways to use all of these amazing things.
What a fun job you have...well-deserved too!
