Kenneth Wingard’s optical wall art fuses circular shapes and moveable wires to achieve a look that is equal parts mobile and equal parts sculpture. At $279 a pop, “Mirrored Large Op Art,” adds a generous dose of glamour to any room, yet doesn’t require a glamorous wallet. The piece hangs either vertically or horizontally; either way it adds a glittering effect to the whole room.

What do you get when you marry expressionist painting and a feminized ‘60s psychedelic poster style? The result just might be the artwork of Yellena James. Her illustrations have graced Anthropologie’s website and she has designed for Nike. Though, it’s the artist’s delicate, pen-and-marker drawings on paper that are linked to her heartstrings, and to her pen(s). To have an original piece on paper costs several Benjamins; to acquire a signed printed edition will only set you back between $20 and $50.
Even though the prints hover around 8” x 10” in size, they electrify any space with colorful intensity. In an interview with Etsy.com, the Web’s premiere destination for buying and selling handmade crafts and where Yellena’s work can be purchased easily, the artist cites “…cacti, moss, wallpaper, micro-cosmos, macro-cosmos, deep sea creatures, pebbles, plants and the universe” as her inspirations. To frame and mount Yellena’s artwork in your home is to bring all these inspirations into your daily reality.

As the winter months approach and the economy freezes up too, it’s hard to feel hunky-dory lately. But looking at Hunkydory Home’s website brightens up our mood when we see their cheerful, sunny, creative retro patterns on lampshades and pillows.
What cheers us up even more are their price tags. The “big flower cushion” and “rainbow retro cushion” each retail for less than $30 and are packed with big, bright, ‘70s-inspired design. Our favorite line has to be the “Shabby Chic,” which proves that a vintage look can be affordable: the handmade “Red Cherries Pendant Drum” features a classic cherry-picked pattern that would sweeten up any kitchen light fixture. Also adorable is the “Red Gingham Pendant Drum” lampshade which brings a dash of ‘40s-era Loretta Lynn to any country-inspired home.
What’s even more hunky-dory than their designs is Hunkydory Home’s commitment to environmentalism. In July, for each customer that spent more than 100 pounds the company pledged a tree to Borneo. The company’s website has a shopping cart system and loads of fun stuff to check out, including many things not yet mentioned here – from wall art to kids’ room accessories to scads more pillows and lampshades.
