      <image:caption>It’s 3am, you’ve been scrolling for hours. All of a sudden amassing a collection of vintage doorknobs (cat paintings) seems like the perfect answer to your design quandary. Before hitting “Buy”, give your brain a rest and come back to your folder in a day, with fresh eyes (and a firmer grip on reality). Keep what you love, delete the rest.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For example, the French/Italian Riviera has been on our minds. We pulled inspiration from Hotel Eden Roc and Il Pellicano Hotel. A quick search helped round out the lux vacation vibes with plush textures, gold accents and of course a nod to the ultimate jet-setting king, Slim Aarons. Having all your favorite elements laid out before you gives you the opportunity to refine and land on something you truly love.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>John Waters famously warned about bookless rooms: “If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them.” —artless ones might be just as suspect. A space without art is a missed opportunity for expression, connection, and intrigue. Does this person know how to appreciate beauty; moreover, do they really have the ability to appreciate you?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Journal - Ditch Mass-Produced Art: Why Unique Art is the Ultimate Flex - Buy Art from Real Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>An original piece of art is a living thing. The artist’s hand, energy and ideas all reside within the confines of its medium. While a mass-produced print might look cute, it is ultimately inert and disposable, and makes your space look *yawn* pretty boring.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Journal - Ditch Mass-Produced Art: Why Unique Art is the Ultimate Flex - Original Art Gives Your Space Soul</image:title>
      <image:caption>Buying a piece of original art can seem like a big commitment, and it kind of is! You are investing in something that you will own for a long time. Unlike the throw-away, flavor-of-the-month prints you get at your local Target or Home Goods, real art lasts through the years, even generations. It becomes a part of your life, and your story. And that’s pretty magical.</image:caption>
