Hi there! Today I’m posting a few snapshots from some styling projects I’ve worked on for clients. I’ve been trying to branch out into styling and photography (to accompany my writing) for my freelance gigs, and I’ve really been enjoying learning more about my camera, as well as getting tips on how to maximize lighting, set up a shot, and more. I will continue to learn and soak up the process, but here are some photos from projects I’ve completed since the first of the year…

Today’s post is purely for fun! If you caught Mirror80’s recent roundup of retro interiors with checkered floors, you know that geo objects, vibrant colors and surreal elements were often set against the backdrop of checkered tile in the 1980s. I got a little bit inspired by the photos (see all of them here), and I decided to snap a few pics using items from my bookshelf and display cabinet. I love arranging geo objects, and I collect flooring tile to use in decorative vignettes. Here are a few of my current favorites…

When I purchased The Mary Gilliatt Book of Color last month, I knew I’d be getting a slew of amazing interior design photos…but I didn’t count on the monochromatic still life photography! With the current still life revival still going full force, it’s fun to see what actual still life photos from the 1980s looked like.

Happy Monday! I got some new plants this weekend so I could finish my current gardening projects, and before I arranged them in their containers, I decided to have a little bit of fun… Who can resist some still life styling on a fall morning?! I sure couldn’t. Throw in some art paper in ’80s colors and mineral samples, and the photo shoot was complete. Lots of plant play in today’s post. Enjoy!
