Emily Joubert: Rustic-Chic Outdoor Decor
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010
I had the chance to drop in Emily Joubert Home & Garden yesterday before a photo shoot in Woodside. What an inspiring source for all your garden and outdoor entertaining needs. If you are hoping to create a rustic-chic, French-inspired outdoor space this is the shop.
Search among stone planters, charming patio tables, statues, and light fixtures to create a dreamy patio for the summer months. Cheers!

Ask Jen: Where can I find the artwork in your portfolio photos?
Sunday, November 1st, 2009
Question: Where do you get the cool art showed in your portfolio pictures? I especially like the colorful one in the North Beach residence in the dining room. Thanks for the tip! – Susana
Answer: Hi Susana, Thanks for your question. The contemporary artwork shown in the North Beach residence is from the client’s modern art collection. The dining room painting was done by a somewhat well known artist named Claire Moore in the 1980′s I believe. If you are looking for more affordable contemporary artwork I would try looking for local art by emerging artists or vintage paintings. See my post on where to find local affordable art!
