			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Humor is an important aspect to include in any interior where possible. Whether this is outlandish, subtle, self-deprecating or ironic, humor can brighten up a room more than a thousand candles. This came to mind when I came across this <strong>angel wall sculpture pair</strong> made from wood by the artist Stacy Simbrom. The <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=4349&#038;userID=334883&#038;productID=460177166" target="_blank">Angel and Fallen Angel Wall Sculpture Pair</a> will provide a light-hearted touch to any space in the home. </p>
<p><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/angel-wall-sculpture-pair-wood.jpg" alt="angel-wall-sculpture-pair-wood" title="angel-wall-sculpture-pair-wood" width="403" height="384" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1222" />The <strong>contemporary folk art style</strong> of the <strong>angel wall sculpture pair</strong> is highlighted further by the style of their creation. Both the Angel and the Fallen Angel have been individually painted on carved wood with further mixed media additions. These include breast faucet handles for the Angel and a naughty split red hook for the Fallen Angel. Both have been given distressed metal wings which adds both contrast and an endearing flair. </p>
<p>These <strong>two angel wall sculptures</strong> explore the concepts of good and bad, naughty and nice in a humorous and playful manner. The seashell feet and hinged arms just add further to the fascination make-up of this angel wall sculpture pair. </p>
<p>If you have an interior that needs some <strong>decorative wall sculptures</strong> in order to brighten up the ambiance, then this pair will be ideal. They&#8217;ll also be great for a living room or guest room, where a little laughter won&#8217;t go amiss among friends and family. </p>
<p>You can buy these angel sculptures for the wall by naughtily spreading your angel wings and hovering to the following location: <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=4349&#038;userID=334883&#038;productID=460177166" target="_blank">Angel and Fallen Angel Wall Sculpture</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Folk art inspired Interior Design can be one of the most rewarding and exciting decoration themes to work on. The field is so varied due to the gigantic array of cultures, decor and histories of the different social traditions across the globe. In this post I&#8217;m going to touch on just the New England style with examples from one living room interior, which also incorporates some Shaker elements.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-658" title="yellow-green-wood-panel-wall" src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/yellow-green-wood-panel-wall.jpg" alt="yellow-green-wood-panel-wall" width="521" height="320" />The wood panelled walls in this room have been painted with a light green. For more warmth you could consider using a color such as the <a href="http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Match-of-Duron-4741W-Katydid-p/mpc0008212.htm" target="_blank">Katydid yellow-green paint</a>. The rustic feel has been achieved with the &#8216;tongue and groove&#8217; effect of the wall structure.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-659" title="new-england-interior-design-wall-hangings" src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/new-england-interior-design-wall-hangings.jpg" alt="new-england-interior-design-wall-hangings" width="521" height="318" />Some charming wall hangings will enliven the wood panelling. Think about some artsy rugs or folk music inspired paintings. Traditional twig brooms would be a great addition. For a heating source, similar to the one in the picture, think about this <a href="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/2009/04/flame-ambient-fireplace-wall-mounted-and-ventless/" target="_blank">stylish wall mounted Flame Ambient Fireplace</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-660" title="new-england-style-folk-furniture" src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/new-england-style-folk-furniture.jpg" alt="new-england-style-folk-furniture" width="516" height="319" />With existing furniture you can modify chairs and tables by painting them white and adding attractive folk art designs and motifs. These can include animals, stars and decorative patterns. Think about adding these in red or green, even in cream.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-661" title="folk-art-decor-furniture-candles" src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/folk-art-decor-furniture-candles.jpg" alt="folk-art-decor-furniture-candles" width="520" height="318" />Wicker baskets and such items like silver pots, jugs and candlesticks can add a great deal to the rustic and country feel of a New England folk interior. Little fabric decorative items will creative a homely feel which is important in a living room.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-662" title="sofa-decoration-accessories-cushions-folk-art" src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sofa-decoration-accessories-cushions-folk-art.jpg" alt="sofa-decoration-accessories-cushions-folk-art" width="519" height="317" />Patchwork quilts for the sofa can be purchased which will add further to the folksy charachter of the interior space. Notice in the above picture the flooring. With this New England theme you can either go for wooden floorboards, painted or natural; or alternatively a rustic carpet made from Sea Grass or Sisal natural fiber.</p>
<p>I hope these picture examples and suggestions will help inspire you when designing a room in a folk art theme. There are a lot more possibilities which I will cover in future posts.</p>
