Being half Lebanese, I always have a place in my heart for middle eastern inspired decor. Cortnie from Canvas & Canopy traveled to Egypt and Jordan last year, and came back so inspired by the richness of the culture. When we found out Rue Mag’s summer issue was inspired by travel, we just knew this concept would be the perfect fit! Papyrus, reeds, bright colors, spices and a CAMEL named Caleb… this shoot blew me away! We brought on Momental Designs to hand paint all the stationery on papyrus and La Partie to create the gorgeous floral displays. Everyone involved did such an amazing job bringing it to life, and of course Jose Villa captured it all perfectly!

[...] My final favourite steps it up a notch, a yellowy gold (don’t break the bank, plate or even brass if you choose the lighter brasses would work just as well as the solid real thing) pick up on a yellow tone really well. A good choice to add as containers for table flowers or candlesticks to complement a yellow and grey scheme and found appropriately on Inspired By This [...]
