Hopefully, today will bring an abundance of mood enhancing inspiration my way.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUw2zgK35MRLOQf4-Kci8Fz8HLwug05J3G5v6gh0WMmAvsEmpyMRu4LZMO9mblj1COZl4QlXCYiOXGt__lkahSHjaXr0hSQ6H_8yLNA8n0F7pdwaurQF9LxBMltji_obHpGhNs-VRnLTYf/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-28+at+2.37.47+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUw2zgK35MRLOQf4-Kci8Fz8HLwug05J3G5v6gh0WMmAvsEmpyMRu4LZMO9mblj1COZl4QlXCYiOXGt__lkahSHjaXr0hSQ6H_8yLNA8n0F7pdwaurQF9LxBMltji_obHpGhNs-VRnLTYf/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-28+at+2.37.47+PM.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ACVe8lsxxb_vWVFCpGzmgirO4y7MPAXenq4tvsye8pypD76vVzKVvS01Bh8Rmh2KVGmUlUg5Btfs83F0xTkRZKdqF_XH90aWXacIkv5t9rlqFMFZmmBmWgQhCAwOPPc_YpHVlw395sif/s1600/06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ACVe8lsxxb_vWVFCpGzmgirO4y7MPAXenq4tvsye8pypD76vVzKVvS01Bh8Rmh2KVGmUlUg5Btfs83F0xTkRZKdqF_XH90aWXacIkv5t9rlqFMFZmmBmWgQhCAwOPPc_YpHVlw395sif/s1600/06.jpg" /></a></div></div>

I think <a href="http://www.zhush.com/" target="_blank">my shop</a> could use a little artwork to round off our selection of home decor, and topping off this list is <a href="https://www.spicherandco.com/home.php?cat=1004" target="_blank">Spicher and Co.</a>  The artist/owner's home (shown here) was featured in <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/" target="_blank">Country Living</a>, last year. It was the mermaid (above) and giant flowers in the master bedroom that really captured my attention.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqaWqasCP_Rz5ZaFC5MzeduYuB6b0kdeZA384vVCVjf1bCVmPMU8UYdy82_EHwz7h-_bqITpNSZNLKbwAqqhNCacIAfVvUA22UvXR8lJiLqJyIR54tmLRD1MZUT0NP7oAKMRxJX-wsTuc/s1600/artful-approach-laundry-room-0311-xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqaWqasCP_Rz5ZaFC5MzeduYuB6b0kdeZA384vVCVjf1bCVmPMU8UYdy82_EHwz7h-_bqITpNSZNLKbwAqqhNCacIAfVvUA22UvXR8lJiLqJyIR54tmLRD1MZUT0NP7oAKMRxJX-wsTuc/s1600/artful-approach-laundry-room-0311-xl.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK97as1TEv2SzSjo0EuoxE7UwvAFXZjRfhpKV1WAAVrCqaQ95ZEL95amQ3iMv7z44T-I2pgewtwpc-mRgNxAPLOV_j0QeNpjLGYNnn7bv49wnLfdXybBMgxwMNIkuR90AOC6pWoSULMg8c/s1600/artful-approach-bedroom-0311-xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK97as1TEv2SzSjo0EuoxE7UwvAFXZjRfhpKV1WAAVrCqaQ95ZEL95amQ3iMv7z44T-I2pgewtwpc-mRgNxAPLOV_j0QeNpjLGYNnn7bv49wnLfdXybBMgxwMNIkuR90AOC6pWoSULMg8c/s1600/artful-approach-bedroom-0311-xl.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUYou0GbEMamxNm9JjdLbpVxmw7sKmz0DQbRWS1dcYeQsUUbNG9MUuzUvu55YTRuXOL2EhSUbqI6QrM1DipaupmZudy1VySZLkFkLg2hBA4M5Z18_QgVVXaZBDdpnrKdgPn0lv5oI6u-X/s1600/artful-approach-kitchen-0311-xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUYou0GbEMamxNm9JjdLbpVxmw7sKmz0DQbRWS1dcYeQsUUbNG9MUuzUvu55YTRuXOL2EhSUbqI6QrM1DipaupmZudy1VySZLkFkLg2hBA4M5Z18_QgVVXaZBDdpnrKdgPn0lv5oI6u-X/s1600/artful-approach-kitchen-0311-xl.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimb18Vxe4zBMEJ3IIA99MbM-huehOKfKKrbl2yIqoy_ubYFs6t6fbbUhloBmTLeJ8kL2k6NGMW3wg7VCpRzBPApq7UlKL21tbbdpqZQYYD5xuMx6eOsfZxIe-psemTVqJHvtKUs98dWtHO/s1600/artful-approach-office-0311-xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimb18Vxe4zBMEJ3IIA99MbM-huehOKfKKrbl2yIqoy_ubYFs6t6fbbUhloBmTLeJ8kL2k6NGMW3wg7VCpRzBPApq7UlKL21tbbdpqZQYYD5xuMx6eOsfZxIe-psemTVqJHvtKUs98dWtHO/s1600/artful-approach-office-0311-xl.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div>
