lmh Favorite Things: South of Houston

I T  F E E L S  good to be back, Atlanta!! Thanks for always being so friendly, blooming, and warm. I don't want to leave Georgia for a good long while, now that I've been gone for so long!
On to the subject at hand, guess what?

I like art. Oh, you already knew that?! 

Well I feel compelled to tell you about the Houstons. South of Houston is an online art gallery, antique and jewelry shop. And it's awesome! Maybe I'm a little biased because I grew up with the Houstons, but these girls have talent that can't be ignored. Mary, the beautiful mother of Alice and Margaret (and three other fun augusta kids), is an accomplished painter. You can find her work in galleries throughout Georgia and South Carolina. Mary's art is inspired by farm and low country landscapes, livestock, and scenes from her world travels. She paints in an impressionistic style and gravitates towards bright, happy colors-- my cup of tea!!

For my wedding, I commissioned Mary to paint this Lake Burton sunset for my sweet husband-to-be. I gave it to him on our wedding day! Today, the painting hangs on our bedroom wall, where I see it every day and remember where our romance began! I also surprised my parents at our rehearsal with a painting of my grandfather's house- the spot where I was to marry my beloved the very next day! It now sits on their kitchen counter and is a special reminder of happy times.

Like her mom, Alice's art is inspired by southern and low country life and landscapes and has an interesting impressionistic style.

All of the Houston girls have an eye for antiques and jewelry. They have collected quite an impressive assortment to browse- from french watercolor to Indian Sari quilts!

I am such a sucker for a cowhide rug!!! Andrew thinks I'm crazy, but I'm dying to have one in our house!

On a separate note, here's a little shoutout to one of the best men ever to live, my Frandaddy!!

    I'm a city girl living a small town life with my husband and baby boy. Here are my thoughts in type, my dreams in paint and my life in pictures.
