Marbled Mystique

Last spring I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Venice with my sister and a dear friend.  Amidst navigating the canals and dodging the tourists, my goals were simple:

1) enjoy cicchetti with the locals

 2) snag potato chips at the Hotel Danieli bar (like my grandfather did in 1922)

3) snap pictures of intricate ironwork for inspiration

4) capture the horizon that inspired many beautiful paintings

Ken Howard (20th c.) via Christie's

Claude Monet (20th c) via alaintruong.com

5) finish the day sipping Bellini's at Harry's

It was the marbled paper, however, that caught my eye through a shop window.  The image has stuck with me, and I notice the marbled mystique aesthetic pops up monthly in shelter mags.  Look at this beautiful paper and all that it has inspired.  Add a touch to your wardrobe or home and this centuries old look will immediately elevate your classic style.
