Natalie Wood's Home: Organized Clutter

Natalie Wood is a clothing designer and an artist. She is based in Sydney Australia. Her house feels like a constant work in progress, but things seem to naturally find their place. We call it artful clutter. Even her overstuffed shelves or randomly placed objects create beautiful vignettes. More photos after the jump...

 
 

We fell in love with Natalie's jewelry display and her amazing collection of art. Her home really feels like the place where the creative process happens. It is very inspiring. We first stumbled across Natalie's home on the Adair's Lolly Jar blog. Check out more beautiful pictures of her home on The Selby.

The chick herself is pretty cute but I'm in love with the "countless obstacles" series on the wall behind her. Is that hand made or does anyone know where it can be found?

Her house looks exactly like mine.

Thank God there's someone else like me! Clutter isn't soooo bad...

Clutter isn't all bad. Certain amount is needed to give personality to your place, this is a fine example of it :)

Amazing cat and I love those posters too. I've Google'd myself to death, I can't seem to locate them available for sale anywhere, anyone have a firm resource?

I am so with organized clutter, but this is a bit overboard - especially with hanging jewelry on the wall. There is absolutely no excuse for that - buy a jewelry box and sit it on your dresser or stash it at the bottom of the closet or get rid of some.

I like those series posters as well. I did several searches and haven't found them (frown)

As Brian Fellows (Tracy Morgan) would say, somebody needs to tell that cat that it's just a cat ;)

I have my jewellry hung on the wall and I wear all of it more often now than when I had it stored away in a jewellry box.

Now this is my style!! Not all of us are minimalists. I have a lot of hobbies, and as such, I have stuff.

And yeah, there's things I'd do differently, but your clutter is still much cooler than mine!

Oh! *That* Natalie Wood. Tee hee hee...

What is the secret that keeps that stack of books from tipping over?

Love her kitty! However... I don't love the clutter, even if it is "organized". I need less stuff in less places and not more stuff in small places. If it works for her--then who am I to judge!
