Kerry Steele Inspiration Board


As you know, I love adding a piece of abstract art to any room. It adds a fresh and modern element and mixes beautifully with Chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, traditional, you name it. Kerry Steele has just completed three new pieces on linen that I wanted to share with you. The linen adds such a wonderful textural quality that is even more beautiful in person.

I had fun creating a little vignette with the piece shown above and just below entitled "Two Temples." I combined it with a Dorothy Draper chest, two preppy pink vases, and a navy chrome Harry Allen pig bank. This would be so fun in an entryway, a nursery, or next to a bed. I love the combination of black, gold, pink, and navy. 

Below are the three new works on linen. The fist two are in her Etsy store and I have provided links in the captions. If you are interested in information on the last one, you can contact Kerry at art@kerrysteele.com. View all of her work on her website and her Etsy store. Have you noticed that the One Room Challenge participants are going wild over Kerry's art?
