August's Feature Header

~ The Dog Days of Summer ~

The shadows are becoming *slightly* longer and the dog days of summer are upon us. *pant* A capricious dance begins during the waning days of Summer: one partner drives you to surrender to the HEAT, whispering in your ear, “Slow down. Sway with me.” The other partner has you by the shoulders, “Grasp the last days of freedom until we go back to school!!! Back to work!” Take this moment to escape into the fleeting vibrance of Summer with us; before we slide straight into Autumn.

In August’s Feature: enjoy fanciful fish drawings of yore, cool off with blue and white patterns, a luxurious (and meta) glamping retreat, the ultimate outdoor lounge chair, art conceived to brighten spirits, a nostalgic American road trip in photographs, good news from our nation’s capital (for real!), and a spicy cocktail to beat the heat.

~ Colorful Summer Home ~

…from Pearl and Maude (the design studio) and Teale (the artist)

We’re BACK and we’ve missed you!!! It’s *interesting* around here, isn’t it? We’ve been working and thinking really, really hard lately, which has left little room for communication. Maybe it’s just as well because words seem to run a little thin these days. Never mind that. As we work to keep our heads screwed on straight, we know that our greatest joy is to bring you great joy and our mission is to inspire you and wrap you in the warm hug of culture, connection and self expression. We hope the following list of ideas for inspired living will feed your soul, crack your smile and remind you that your colorful summer home is a reflection of your vibrant personality, now more than ever. Read on, friends! xoxo

~ Colorful Home Zoom Backgrounds for Virtual Meetings ~

Are you like me and video conferencing on Zoom a lot? Now that we are all working and socializing from home, it’s astounding how quickly the clutter takes over… and let’s be real: no one wants to see the messy bed or dirty dishes behind you. Pearl and Maude has you covered with these free, colorful home Zoom backgrounds for more inspirational meetings! I created six designs so you can have meetings from a different stylish room in “your house” nearly every day. I also created a range of moods because some meetings are all Wes Anderson, some meetings need a boss attitude, and some meetings are a bottle of wine with girlfriends. So inject some personality and magic into your video-conferences with these pretty virtual backgrounds. After all, we could each use a little fun, upbeat decadence these days. Don’t cha’ think?

How to Easily and Reliably Estimate Wallpaper

How To

~ How to Easily and Reliably Estimate Wallpaper ~

How much wallpaper do I need? That’s a great question! And it isn’t TOO hard to figure out.

One solid search on the internet for “wallpaper calculator” will turn up a bunch of results for automated engines that will crunch the numbers for you. How handy! Below, you’ll find our preferred calculator.

I’ll admit, though: I don’t always trust someone else’s code when I’m trying to figure out how much wallpaper I need for a project. I really prefer pencil, paper and a calculator, but that method isn’t the easiest. My advice is to use the calculator below, and then you’ll have all the info you need to double-check the result by hand (the instructions for which are below the calculator). Or even better, hire a professional to help you!

Happy Holidays from all of us in the studio! (Teale, Maude and Pearl)

~ Christmas Weekend 2017: My Favorite Christmas Music ~

Christmas weekend 2017: the Christmas music is on, the trees are trimmed, the gifts are wrapped and my grapefruit mimosa is blissfully within arm’s reach. Packages, paintings and purchases are all where they belong. The garden is cleaned up because winter in Los Angeles looks somewhat like fall to the rest of the country. Despite the break neck pace of the last year, I’m ahead of where I expected to be this season and I am delighted to have some time to write to you.

~ Introducing the Pearl & Maude Design Studio ~

Hi. My name is Teale, and I am the Pearl & Maude Design Studio. I am a Los Angeles based fine art painter and installation artist who is obsessed with classical design, historic architecture, color and interior design. I’ve been showing and selling my work in museums and galleries for about six years. I love the art world and the seriousness with which we approach our processes and concepts. I am also a firm believer that joy brings joy and the weight of the world is more easily carried by a focus on beauty, wisdom and generosity.
