THE JEALOUS CURATOR: ART GOES HERE.
hello! i’m back again, and this time i’ve brought you a big, blank, white wall in the bedroom of my dreams – look at those beams!
oh my word – the possibilities are endless! since this is not a conventional bedroom, i thought it would be fun to put some very unconventional artwork in there. let’s start with this:
ahh, the neon tape of chicago based artist alex menocal - the perfect hit of modern in this beam-filled bedroom. if this was in fact my bedroom, i would love to have a group of fluorescent triangles installed from my gorgeous floor to my stunning ceiling! {maybe if i say “my” enough times, it will actually come true?!}
if neon isn’t your thing, perhaps i could suggest a giant diamond made from salvaged bits of wood:
yes! huge diamonds brought to you by rotterdam based artist ron van der ende. i love that this room is filled with wood, and that these pieces are made from wood, yet they look nothing alike. besides, who wouldn’t want to wake up to a diamond this big every morning – am i right ladies?
now, every week i show work by various contemporary artists, and every week at least one person says “i’m going to try that at home”, so today i thought i’d actually include an artsy diy {and fyi, i am totally going to do this in my new house!}
thread & nail art! who remembers this from the 70s? oops, i just totally dated myself – oh well, it was worth it. i found that ampersand a few months ago, and bookmarked it immediately. then i found “home sweet home” by debbie smythe, followed closely by the work dominque falla - and voila, an obsession was born! i am going to get out my ruler, a pencil, my hammer and nails and get to work – and you can too! here’s a little step-by-step on how to make your very own thread/nail art {ooh, but watch out for your thumb!} see you in two weeks with more art on more walls ~ the jealous curator xo

I love all of your original ideas for this series. And especially this one as I NEED some art for our bedroom – we have a peaked roof too (but no beams unfortunately).
Love, love, love.
ack! and i owe you some ideas… cafe bica soon?! ; )
Where is that bed from!? I’ve been looking for one just like it!
i think it is a magistretti bed… http://www.bonluxat.com/a/vico-magistretti-sleeping-car-bed.html
I don’t know if I am brave enough for the neon, but I love it! Love the blog. xo Patricia
This is fabulous! I must say this blog series is a real highlight!
thank you so much igor… what a compliment!
thank you igor! i love the jealous curator’s posts, too!
love the diamond – reminds me of Aaron Moran’s work : http://aaronsmoran.com/
yes… i love aaron moran! we can hang one of these diamonds on the wall, and put one of aaron’s pieces on the night stand! ; )
Great ideas, Jealous Curator! Thank you!
Those beams are what dreams are made of! I love that wood diamond. What an interesting idea.
Dude I love the idea of the neon tape. It would add a pop to that beautifully neutral space.
exactly my thought! : )
Just tried the first one. So easy and so fun!! See image below.

Oh! That huge diamond is AMAZING!!! I want that on my wall!
I love ALL the art! This is exactly the type of thing I want in my house when I have my own place, except it’s also exactly the type of thing my boyfriend would find tacky :(
well then, i’d keep the art, and lose the boyfriend (hee hee!) ; )
ps. LOVE the term “chipster” hilarious!
