Living An Artistic Life

Good Morning from the Garden Cafe..........What does it mean to live an artistic lifestyle? Well your creatitivity plays a big part. Being free-spirited, artist-type who everyone admires. That person is cool, unique, and talented. They just don't look the part, they live it. First you have to be surrounded by a mood of color. Accessorizing with artwork...that means yours or someone elses that you admire. Photographs are fantastic. Try black and white pictures, with black frames with white matte. Or if you prefer a retro vibe, that inspires you.

Get comfy! Cushions can be can be thrown anywhere to give the appearance of acarefree, lived-in, cozy space. Find interesting ones at places like urbanoutfitters.com. Toss them on chairs and couches, in corners for sitting on the floor. Books are a major must-have to fill your space with that artsy intrigue that your're after. Fashion, culture and design books make fantastic decor when piled on coffee tables or nightstands and provide great inspiration. Introducing some plants like mini bonsai trees- so cute, and you can trim them into unique shapes. Mood lighting is very important. The classic christmas lights can come off very classy, not tacky, when done right. Try them over a window frame.

Your look is the next most important item to tackle. Once you look artsy, and live in an artsy space, the rest will fall into place much more easily! Your hair style, make-up, wardrobe, and get rid of anything that are big name brands. Stay trendy, if it appeals to you. Unique rings and vintage necklaces, scarves, cardigans, and skinny jeans are all great. Start drinking coffee, teas. Adopt an artsy habit like taking photographs, cooking and of coarse your choice in music is very important...

Omg there is so much to living an artistic livestyle.......But whatever you do " Have Passion" Don't be afraid to fight for a cause, and don't be afraid to get involved.

And most of all enjoy the coffee at the Garden Cafe!!
