European Adventure

Lauren, our very own production princess, just returned from her trip to Paris and London. She brought back some great treasures and inspiration! Oh how I want to hop on a plane right now and go to Europe!! Sigh…

I love the vintage monogram inspiration she captured at the Louvre and the gates of the Buckingham palace. There’s the eiffel tower at night, and the clock from the Musée D’orsay (doesn’t it remind you of the one from Benjamin Button?) What really got me most inspired though was the art nouveau exhibit she saw at the Musée D’orsay in Paris. I am swooning over all the art nouveau beauty!

After seeing all the inspirational art nouveau lovelies Lauren picked up this little Art Nouveau postcard book. It is filled with amazing vintage posters for tons of inspiration. She also picked up a little miniature wallpaper press from an antique store in London. Its a hand held press similar to the ones I featured earlier this year that Emily found. The details are so amazing!! Thanks Lauren for sharing such amazing European inspirations. Now if I could only teleport there right now!

Maybe the Royal Family should plan a business trip to Europe for research and inspiration?
