It's New Girl's latest episode of Cece's wedding and in the end, when Jess & Nick hopped into the car and drove away together, there's this song that sounded like another song but it's very catchy and super cute!
'Cause it's you
Oh, it's always you
Oh, I always knew
Oh, it's you
It's all in the details!! Often when we create spaces, some tend to forget the details, the final touch that make the space alive. I've been drooling over the work of this one bead artist, Binka Rigava. I found out about her through my talented designer friend Lindsay Broad, who is a restaurant | hotel designer from Puccini Group. Lindsay and her co-worker Ashley Wilkins commissioned the artist to work on art pieces for the remodel of the restaurant and bar interiors at Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans. You can read more about how they come about the concept here at the Puccini Blog. It was magic! They had these beautiful portrait photographs of showgirls in the 20s and 30s which were taken by the famous New York City based Photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston, and printed them on canvas. They were wearing these beautiful gowns, which brought back into life when artist Binka did the most amazing embroidery work of colorful beads. These pieces were then framed and displayed throughout the restaurant. Her intricate handwork on the details blew my mind away! This is one successful collaborative story between designers and artists.
My niece is an attorney with a side hobby of photography. In a way, we got our artistic touch from my grandfather of my mother's side, who was her great grand father. He was a great painter and photographer. I have such great memories visiting him in Ben Tre, Vietnam when I was young. He had the most beautiful country home with sliding wood barn doors. I was too young then to appreciate the carpentry in all the details of the house but I am grateful that bits and pieces of it are still with me today in my memory.
Huong took some photos of me during my last visit in South Carolina. You can visit her work here at Huong Lam Photography
