Slowly but surely, we are finishing the design of our home. We put a lot of work into it; we extended the kitchen to create a more functional space, gutted the master bath/closet and gave Wesleigh’s bathroom a facelift along with a few other cosmetic changes.

Since my professional background is in home furnishings, over the years, we got a head start in collecting a selection of furniture and accessories from some of the beautiful brands I worked with. These pieces have traveled from NYC to Miami, back to NYC and have made their final stop here in CT.

Shortly after we finished construction, I enlisted the help of my designer friend, Townsend Katz. Knowing these special pieces were keepers, Townsend was able help us tie these decorative elements together and blend Zach and my mostly opposite styles in a way that makes sense for our family. As we continue to finish designing our home, a crucial piece that’s missing is artwork. Although our shelves are filled with framed family photos, our walls are still mostly bare. 

The few pieces we do have framed and hanging were picked up during our travels, which considering the current climate, we won’t be adding to any time soon. Until then, I’ve been window shopping online and have my eyes on a handful of artists, both established and emerging, whose pieces I would love to hang in our home.

Dawn Michelle Wolfe (now on sale through One King’s Lane) – Her art reflects her love of travel, vintage things as well as the coastal California mountains where she lives. Whimsy, nature, and beach life completely inform and inspire her work’s subject matter, color palettes and materials.

Ellen Catlin Creative – Based in Asheville, NC Ellen is a contemporary American painter, sculptor and designer. In her work she explores memory and experience, and how they manifest themselves in a person. an origin story is her keystone. in her own take on storytelling, she focuses on subconscious pairings, dusty recollections, and the translation of those feelings you can’t quite identify into a mark.

Jen Wink Hays – Jen Wink Hays is a painter and sculptor based in Philadelphia, PA. Her oil paintings are characterized by her use of a bold, dissonant color palette that blends subdued earthy tones with aggressive, synthetic neons. Incomplete visual layers also convey struggle and resolution in Hays’ work. There is a push/pull between what is shown and what is concealed as if something is at once being covered over and peeled away.

Kate Schelter – Kate Schelter is an artist, illustrator, creative director, stylist and owner of the luxury brand consultancy that bears her name. Kate paints commercial work for Dior, Toms, One Kings Lane, Tod’s, Romy & the Bunnies, Bulgari, Sleepy Jones, Bonpoint, Victoria’s Secret, Diane von Furstenberg and Toyota, as well as private commissions and murals throughout The San Vicente Bungalows. 

Katherine Freeman Hocke – With a focus on bringing light and happiness to your walls, Katherine is most inspired by color, textures, and interior design. Katherine’s mission is this: to instill feelings of hope and happiness with her art; hoping to create pieces that are cherished and can be passed on for generations to come.

Kerri Rosenthal – The philosophy at Kerri Rosenthal is simple, “We make people happy by making stuff that makes us happy.” This along with Kerri’s contagious energy and love of color, design and style is at the heart of all that she creates. Her original art ignites an unforgettable sense of individuality, warmth, and personality that then transforms into an entire lifestyle that people can’t seem to get enough of. 

Maren Devine Art – Maren Devine lives in Dallas, Texas with her family. She is inspired by people, color, music, the ocean, flowers and animals-not necessarily in that order!

Michelle Boyd Studio – The artist says, I love exploring the interplay of colors, infusing movement into abstraction, and drawing emotion from the beauty of creation. I especially enjoy finding that happy moment where both color abstracts and impressionist florals meet in the middle. 

Renne Buchon – As told by Greg Girby Gallery, Renee Bouchon’s work seamlessly embodies the juxtaposition of quiet space and movement in a way that creates perfect harmony. For Renee, inspiration comes in all forms and she thrives off seeing how a little snippet of creation can transform any given space. She paints in gouache, ink, oil and acrylic while also exploring different mediums such as oil pastels and charcoal.

Sally King Benedict – Sally’s mixed media works range from faces to pure abstraction. She gains inspiration from daily life in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia and her travels, all of which inform her work.

Sally West– What makes Sally West’s original oil paintings so recognizable is the combination of texture, abstraction and calming colors. The movement of the paint strokes on canvas is reminiscent of a light breeze or waves. Each painting is completed in one day, with the date present in the title. West’s pieces take at least 8 weeks to completely dry. Once dry the thick paint takes on an almost sculptural effect. Overall, West’s color palette is uniquely her own and it conveys a very specific feeling of comfort associated with familiarity and softness.

Susan Hable – Most recognized by her sensibility with color and form, she’s honed an aesthetic that’s timeless. Susan has the keen eye for detail and that paired with her remarkable ability to use color to evoke mood gives depth to her work. Inspired by travels to Italy, Asia, and South America as well as her garden and community, Susan’s work has a global appeal with an intimate presence.

Vynka Hallam – The artist says, My works celebrate a quality which exaggerates colour and perspectives, intentionally exposing brush marks and paint drips to show signs of the hand made and contribute to the visual environment of my works. Subjects are a diverse fusion of my personal travels and experiences along with memories and encounters with the special individuals I met. I find moments that inspire me, endeavour to capture them and translate it into my art so my audience can experience it as well.

Yuko Nishikawa – I can personally attest to the talent of Yuko. I had the privilege of working alongside her for nearly 5 years at the venerable home furnishings brand, Donghia. The artist, a Brooklyn-based Japanese designer/contemporary ceramicist specializing in fantastical lighting, whimsical decor accessories and collectible objet d’art. Yuko is currently making one painting a day during quarantine, ‘My Worker is Working from Home and She is a Painter’. This series is really beautiful and selling out fast!

Zoë Pawlak – Contemporary artist and designer Zoë Pawlak is known for her confident, ever-evolving practice. Rooted in painting, her catalog includes figurative, landscapes and, most recently, a study of vessels.

Our schedule currently revolves around activities for Wes inside the house, more activities outside in our yard and long walks around town (weather permitting). In what is a very uncomfortable time for many, at least I can be comfortable in what I’m wearing each day. In general, there’s not much I love more than a vintage sweatshirt and a good pair of leggings (well, maybe a nice pair of jeans and booties and a cashmere sweater…). But for right now, more often than not, I can be found in athleisure wear.

The post My Work From Home Athleisure On Heavy Rotation first appeared on Lindsey Boova.

The holidays have become increasingly special to us. Celebrating with family and creating new traditions with Wesleigh is so enjoyable, not just for me and Zach but also for our parents who have the pleasure of seeing first hand Wes experiencing these traditions for the first time.

Now that we’re maintaining physical distance and staying home, we joined our family for Passover Seder over Zoom and will be continuing this new FaceTime tradition for Wesleigh’s first Easter Egg Hunt. Although it’s disappointing we won’t be together with our extended family for these holidays, we’re grateful everyone is healthy and available to FaceTime often.

Wesleigh turns two later this month so we opted to keep her Easter basket semi-practical, filling it with a handful of goodies she’ll be able to use long after the holiday is over.

This little lady loves a good pair of shoes and I rarely let her out of the house without a bow on her head.
