ROOM-WORTHY FRAMES

There are many ways to coordinate hootenanny frames...I think this frame would look great with an Auburn Football photo...

This frame (or several of these frames grouped together) belongs in a room with these goods...



SUMMER ARTS WALK...AUBURN, AL

The past few weeks have been dedicated to preparing for Auburn's downtown Summer Arts Walk.    Hootenanny had a great turn out. 

Thank you Wrapsody, one of Auburn's cute downtown boutiques, for having us!

Some of the following items were on display during Saturday night's Art Walk...

To order any of the above items, go to the Hootenanny Etsy store or send an email with request to jennifer@hootenannyauburn.com

COLLEGE DORM IDEAS

I recently painted this frame for a college student moving into a dorm for the Fall of 2011...she chose the colorful rug from Urban Outfitters...I added some photos of items I would coordinate with it...there are so many more options these days for young girls decorating their dorms...if only I could go back and decorate a dorm room all over again...so exciting!

1. Hootenanny Medium Hype Frame
2. Source unknown...love the Moroccan feel of this sconce
3. Urban Outfitters chair...cute patchwork fabric
4. Anthropologie Melati Hanging Chair...imagine studying in this chair
5. Anthropologie vase
6. Such a fresh look...I wouldn't get out of bed for class
7. Urban Outfitters rug...inspiration for the frame

STACK 'EM UP

Happy weekend!  I haven't posted at all this week and I've missed the blog world.  I've been so busy making distressed picture frames that I've neglected my painting, so I thought I would post one of the pieces I've been working on.  I love items around the house, especially colorful items.  This piece is called "Stacked Up"...I really dug deep for that name.  Stay tuned for more pieces as I get prepared for a local summer art festival.

Everybody's workin' for the weekend...

Headed to the lake this weekend...loving this fabulous weather we're having in the south...

These 2 groupings make me think of summer...

This grouping reminds of a tropical island paradise...

This one reminds me of 4th of July on the lake...

GETTING HITCHED

With all the hype about the royal wedding the past several months, I can't get weddings off my mind.  I even painted a wedding party painting several weeks ago to get it out of my system.  I love weddings.  I love to see what the bride chose as her perfect dress or what her poor bridesmaid friends have to wear.  I love to see what new trends brides are following these days...especially since its been a long time since my own wedding.  I'll definitely be tuning in to watch the royal wedding tomorrow like all of the young girls who have dreams of being like Kate as she walks down the aisle.  I can't wait to see if she let the Queen influence her taste or if she has a mind of her own when it comes to the dress she will be wearing.  Maybe it will be like one of these...
