<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
If your fellow is resistant to share his innermost desires, specifically those involving gifts this holiday season, then here is a quick guide of some fabulous items available at Shaun Smith Home.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
1. Wool blanket/throw $75</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
With the current popularity of "man grooming" your special guy may need some extra warmth this season. Our cozy wool blankets will surely keep his smooth, hairless body toasty this winter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
2. Austin James painting $750</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
With a name that oozes masculinity and artwork that oozes sensible style, a big piece of Austin James may be just what he needs this holiday season.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
3. Framed insects on stands $340 (set of 4)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
Instead of bugging him for gift ideas this year, why not just give him some bugs? These insects, sealed in clear resin cubes, will surely make him smile.. or faint. Either way you'll feel a sense of joy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
4. Fortuny dog collars $80 (small) $100 (large)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
Has his furry little friend been a bit neglected this year? And of course I mean his pet pooch! If so, give his buddy something to bark about with a stunning Fortuny dog collar. The neighborhood bitches will be very impressed. (collars available next door at Gerrie Bremermann)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
5. Antique glass medicine bottles $49 (small) $69 (large)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
Bring out his inner chemist with these beautiful antique medicine bottles. Great for adding a sense of history and style, these bottles might just have him re-watching old episodes of Breaking Bad.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
6. Alabaster spaniel carving $790</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
Perhaps a hand-carved springer spaniel statue made of alabaster will shut him up about getting that new puppy.. at least until New Year's.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
7. Patch candles $38</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times;">
With masculine scents and style, these candles will definitely help cover up that "weird smell" from his office that you can't quite put your finger on.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We are thrilled to share with you all that we are now carrying the artwork by the insanely talented Austin James! Austin's work has an ethereal and organic look to it that we just love.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Austin uses a mix of crushed pigments, oils, acrylic and resins to create these stunning pieces. The resin finish gives each piece a high gloss finish that looks similar to glass.<span style="background-color: white;"> "<span style="border: 0px; color: #111111; line-height: 22.6520004272461px; margin: 0px; orphans: 3; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">I employ resin in order to create an altered and present reality. Resin pushes a successful painting to create a feel of stepping through a looking glass into a secret scene: a captured world." - Austin James</span></span></span></div>

His love for playing with words and phrases and his love for color naturally led him to experimenting with paint and motion. He started painting in 1996 and exhibiting as a professional artist in 1997. Austin believes that art is energy. Each human being has his or her own unique form of energy. An artist is capable of translating this energy into art. Austin’s pieces focus on organic shapes, color, the natural flow of matter and motion. His MFA from Naropa University in Poetry has infused a lyrical sensibility into Austin’s work.</span></div>

</div>
We sadly just realized it has been over a year since our last blog post! Things have been wonderfully busy here at Shaun Smith Home and we would like to recap this last year through mostly Shaun's Instagram account. He posts like crazy so please follow him @shaunsmithstyle!<br />
<br />
So here's a recap of the last 12 months...<br />
<br />
Did you know one of Shaun's greatest talents is styling? He's a master at making rooms look complete - from coffee tables to bookshelves - they are always perfectly styled! -and no I'm not just saying that because I work for him ;) he really is the best at it!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">
I have always had a fascination with women who have curated a life with such style that it seems every facet of their existence is museum worthy. Women like Diane Keaton, Iris Apfel, Audrey Hepburn, and the fashion goddess that I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Sarah Jessica Parker.</div>

You don't have to be famous to make your mark and be recognized for great style. I feel pretty certain every city no matter how big or small has those few women that in some way are someones "style icon". A woman of great style, stories, and impeccable taste walked into my life shortly after opening my shop and she has been a huge part of the success I have had here. I call her Lou Lou. </div>

Every time Lou Lou walks in the door I already know she will hone in on what I would consider the best piece in my shop. I always have things that are ratable and place able for everyone however I always have a few pieces that are what I call the Oh My God moments. Those are the moments in a house that are unexpected and leave any guest you have over searching for that same moment in their own home.</div>

Fortunately Lou Lou has become a great friend to us here at Shaun Smith Home. She regularly has Betsey and I over to share with us the amazing stories of her fabulous life. This woman has lived! Her home is covered in art that would make any art collector/lovers jaws drop. Every fabric, sconce, fabric, finish it's all just perfect. When I am in her house I feel like I am transported to a flat in New York that was in Architectural Digest more than once as her style changed through the years. </div>

There is a house here on Audubon Blvd. that I run past every evening. This house is my favorite house in New Orleans. I talk about this house, reference this house, make people drive past this house. I dream of owning this house one day and unlike every other house I purchase I wouldn't change a thing. This has been going on now for years. Life is so crazy I made mention of this house to Lou Lou last week. She said "Shaun that was my house" I could not believe it. She lived in this house for 30+ years. She has made mention of this house to me many times over the past few years always saying how much I would love this house but the connection was never made. Now she is letting me play amongst the original blue prints, design boards, and all of her ideas she so perfectly put into the house.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">
One of my favorite design go to's each month is Lonny. The team that produce this fabulous publication each month are geniuses! I was so excited to see that they profiled one of my favorite hotels in the world the masterpiece that is <a href="http://www.leroyalmonceau.com/promotions/?gclid=COHdku2Zm7YCFQ7znAodtz4AzA" target="_blank">Le Royal Monceau.</a> </div>

Designed by Louis Duhayon and tweaked to perfection by Philippe Starck this hotel inspired me in ways I can't even explain. Last summer my family spent two weeks in Paris for my moms 50th birthday. We shopped, antiqued, dined and wined and wined and wined it was perfection. The hotel was of course one of my favorite pieces of the trip because I have had a love affair with Philippe Starck for many years.</div>

The way he pairs the unexpected with classic pieces and makes it feel so right is what I strive to do in every project I take on. The rooms were the most subtle pink that I became obsessed with (just ask Betsey). The choice of lighting fixtures….the way the art was curated just simply to die for! </div>

If you have a moment please take a look at this issue of <a href="http://www.lonny.com/" target="_blank">Lonny</a> and check out this must see hotel in Paris. If you are ever in Paris take the time to walk through the lobby and restaurants it will have all of you design lovers salivating!! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">
It is hard to believe it was 11 years ago when my best friend Casey and I would ride up and down Magazine Street and we would dream together that one day I would have a shop on the street I loved so much. I am a little late in sharing this with you since the JAN/FEB issue of Veranda has come and gone however I couldn't resist sharing this moment with you all. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">
When I decided to open my shop a little over 3 years ago I was very strategic in how I would do so. Most importantly I wanted to be as close to the legend and my personal design hero Gerrie Bremerman as possible. It just so happened when I was ready to pull the trigger the place right next door popped up for rent. Obviously this was a dream come true and definitely a sign it was meant to be. </div>

It took me and the worlds greatest mom about 5 months to get all of the inventory I needed for the space. The hardest purchase was the very first one because I knew that whatever it was it would set the tone for my shop and how everything would come together in the end. We found the most fabulous pair of stone horse heads that had come from an estate in Chicago. They were amazing and had my name written all over them. They were the perfect pieces to emulate what the Shaun Smith brand was about. When I opened my doors for the first time they in fact were the focal point and the pieces in the shop that everyone wanted to know more about. It actually was hard to think about selling them because they looked so good in the shop (yes i am crazy like that). </div>

They sold shortly after I opened to my next door neighbor Mrs. Gerrie Bremermann it was the ultimate compliment and I cannot begin to tell you how much it meant to me. She didn't purchase them for a client she purchased them for herself because she loved them so much. They live in her shop next door and are NOT for sale which makes me so happy. </div>

The stone horse heads can be seen in the JAN/FEB issue of Veranda Magazine in a fabulous St. Charles Avenue home. They were loaned to them for the photo shoot by Gerrie Bremermann. When I found out they would be featured in Veranda it was such a full circle moment for me. I have been reading Veranda since about the 6th grade, and the fact that the 2 pieces that were the first purchases I made to build my brand in New Orleans were purchased by my design idol and were in the magazine I love so much…well all I can say is dreams do come true.</div>

We wanted to share with y'all the most recent completed project from Shaun Smith Home! This was a home Shaun bought completely gutted and he worked his magic, turning a gutted shell into a beautiful fully furnished home with custom lighting, millwork, landscaping and not to mention the coolest handrail ever! (solid glass with a chrome base.... gorgeous!)</div>
<br />
So, feast your eyes on our latest completed home:<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We are super excited to be participating in Gambit's Brunch and Bubbles event at New Orleans Auction Galleries! Shaun Smith Home as well as 5 other local designers will get to design vignettes incorporating furniture from the auction house with some of our own pieces. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">The whole idea is to get people interested and aware of auctions. Many feel intimidated by attending an auction when really you can get some pretty amazing pieces at reasonable prices - not to mention it's a great experience! </span></div>

This event will be tons of fun and did we mention there's champagne!? You can never go wrong with some bubbly! So come on out January 19th and have some fun with us!<br />

We were pleased to see a trend we've been noticing - rope - featured throughout Tom Felicia's home in <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/house-pictures/thom-filicia-lake-house-1112?click=pp#slide-8" target="_blank">House Beautiful. </a></div>

Our client has an extra long sofa, about 9 feet? So we were able to fit 3 cubes in front as coffee tables. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little known fact about the Shaun Smith Team - we are all OBSESSED with The Golden Girls. We quote them, we discuss their fashion sense and of course we engage in never ending conversations about their decor! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So after one too many slices of cheesecake last night while lounging on our Lanai, we decided to redecorate Blanche's Boudoir. Let's face it - she's the most fabulous of them all! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is what we would do: </div>

We wanted to share with y'all a project we are in the middle of working on. Before & afters are always fun so take a look below at the blank canvas we got to work with for this beautiful home! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NAZmrHRzaAw/UFi1F9afBSI/AAAAAAAADv4/3VUpBf3b7zE/s1600/before1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NAZmrHRzaAw/UFi1F9afBSI/AAAAAAAADv4/3VUpBf3b7zE/s640/before1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Opposite view of the Great Room - it looks out to a gorgeous pool!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I-F3_LZC4JY/UFi1HE3Jn2I/AAAAAAAADwA/lK4ZZd7svHw/s1600/before2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I-F3_LZC4JY/UFi1HE3Jn2I/AAAAAAAADwA/lK4ZZd7svHw/s640/before2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And another view:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kvlts2ikvr4/UFi1RFOfT0I/AAAAAAAADwI/igHbxP2XIB8/s1600/before3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kvlts2ikvr4/UFi1RFOfT0I/AAAAAAAADwI/igHbxP2XIB8/s640/before3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
As you can see from the above images, we literally had a blank canvas to work with.<br />
<br />
On "Install Day" we brought our movers over and did the whole room in one day! A very HGTV/BRAVO type day indeed - a broken vase, dog escaping the house, etc. but we all survived and the house is looking gorgeous!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
AFTER:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We LOVE the way the room came out! Very true to the Shaun Smith aesthetic - classic, with a masculine feel and a modern take on traditional. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can't wait to share the rest of the house once it's complete. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">We just got some new art in from the wonderfully talented local artist Eddie Granger. His latest works are very fluid with great color and texture. They are made with crayons broken into little pieces. No two pieces are alike and the patterns that come through are quite beautiful. </span></span></div>

With the use of recycled materials, phrases, and imagery of the common consciousness, I create a composition that sparks curiosity in my subjects; a curiosity which challenges the mundane and highlights the abnormal. </span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My work has the ability to evoke the proverbial positivity of light, while touching upon, and sometimes engulf, the fragility found in our darkest fears and desires. It acts as a vessel of conscious awareness of the subliminal messaging of our society. Given the broad range of human experience, the form my art takes - painting, drawing, installation, et. al. - depends on that which I feel to be most influentially receptive. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">It wouldn't be fair to say I have a favorite piece because I like all of my pieces equally. Some have stronger meanings and some were at a different focus in my life. Each time I create a series of work it tends to steer me into a new direction and allows me to further progress and evolve into the next series. I always try to evolve and show people what I'm thinking and show them something different.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">I like the works of Damien Hirst and Frank Stella. Both Artist influence the aesthetic and quality of my work, both gain value and notability as an artist by constant evolution through their work.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">I'd say it's abstract, but it's crude and has a playful optimism. My current work takes on the face of an abstract mural. It has a dimensional, lyrical abstraction to it, and some people often ask me if there is a tribal flare to it. This may come from my sensitivity to culture and open minded spirituality.</span></div>
