Photographer Lust: Elizabeth Zeschin

Last night I stumbled upon the portfolio of photographer Elizabeth Zeschin, and it's so scrumptious I had to share it immediately! The quality of the light in these shots is simply stunning: breezy and airy yet warm and inviting, just right for the early September summer-to-fall transition. And check out that yummy striped sofa in the foreground!

An all-time favourite image from Domino. The carefully edited elements--folding bistro chairs, pedestal table, futuristic pendant lamp--create a delicate balance of old and new. What I wouldn't do for a breakfast nook like this!

I've been waxing poetic about wallpaper lately, but when you live in a rental like I do, it's just not a practical option. However a big framed panel is an easy and budget-friendly way to incorporate a beloved pattern without the commitment of pasting it to the wall. (Visit The Designer's Attic for discounted odds-and-ends that would be ideal for a project like this!)

I love having fresh flowers in the house, but who has time to design an elaborate arrangement? A display like this is a no-brainer: gather plenty of blooms of a single color, combine with vases of the same hue, and POW! Instant floral paradise!

An stylish red leather chair looks surprisingly right against weathered wood and rustic casegoods. It's a strikingly sexy juxtaposition--like a farmgirl wearing crimson lipstick while she milks the cows!

We're having book issues in my house lately--as in, too many books and nowhere to store them. But there's a spare closet begging for a floor-to-ceiling shelving treatment like the one here. Too bad we don't have the bleached plank floors and streamlined mantelpiece to match!

Don't you love how this bathroom seems to glow? Recently I'm drawn to green in all its incarnations, and pistachio is especially appealing. The best part is that you don't need much--just a few well placed objets--to create a consistent color scheme.

I've saved my favourite image for last. This space is very reminiscent of the sensibility I'm trying to cultivate in my own living room. Clean, modern lines and muted tones meet with classical architectural elements. The result? Perfection!

Oh, wow! Her work is beautiful and that last photo is definitely my favorite too--such a pretty palette and lovely lines.

[Chelsea]

You always continue to find beautiful photo after beautiful photo. I don't know how you do it! I love all of these, Anne!

The framed panel idea is great! I've seen small picture frames with wallpaper, but it looks really striking when the panels are this big. Plus you can just bring it with you when you move. Delicious post with lovely photos!

Thanks for sharing these.
Im loving the image of the dining room. Very simple but crisp and sophisticated!

[Rebecca]

She is talented! I love the photos that you chose from her site. My favorite is the one with the fireplace. I think the color on the wall grabs me. I love the idea about the wallpaper too. I might try that in my living room for a non-committed wall treatment! :)

Hey Anne, thanks so much for the shout out! so nice of you!!!

[Jenna]

This first image makes me want to close the drapes and snoooze and snooze. Beautiful!

[Heidi]

That flower cluster is perfection. I will HAVE to try that.

[alanna]

i love all white houses with touches of color that aren't all crazy and vivid, but simple and peaceful. this is a total dream house!!

[Cassie]

Loving the single color flower arrangement. So chic and clean. :)

[cassandra @ cocokelley]

ohhh - that domino room was one of my faves too! that pendant lamp kills me every time. it's too perfect. and m'dear i've seen your living room now and i think you are WELL on your way to acheiving that last look!

[Shell Sherree]

All beauties! {Does that gorgeous pendant lamp make another appearance in photo 6?}

[Anna R]

I wish that was my bedroom.

[Pretty Little World]

Those panels are gorgeous! I've seen a lot of rooms lately that just have one really oversized feature with almost no other wall decoration and it always look amazing.

[Bells]

It doesn't know it yet - but one day that bedroom will be mine!

[Jessica]

I really like the idea of framing large panels of wallpaper. I rent and that would be an easy way form a headboard behind my bed. I've refrained from buying a proper one because I don't want to move it until I'm settled for a reasonable amount of time.

[alice]

Loving these images! I blogged the white white room... I dream of billowing bed canopies! The framed wallpaper is great, I have some loose pattern paper I should frame...

[ABC Dragoo]

Hi there sweetheart!

I am pretty sure that red chair is our fave ... OCHRE! ; )

[Anne Sage]

Yes--I thought the EXACT same thing!

Sounds like you're doing some fun traveling! Enjoying your tweets from the
road :)
