Dreamy Artwork of Rebecca Rebouche

Rebecca Rebouche is a New Orleans artist who creates emotive and whimsical mixed media paintings. Her work has a dreamlike quality that transports one to a different world where swans live on the tress, stars sparkle on the ground, clothes hang from a branch and where owl is the king of the sky. "I'm always using the natural world as my echo. There's always an element of magic or transcendence that you can never actually achieve in the real world with a photograph." - via.

"Through visual allegory, she turns heartbreak into wonder, temporal into immortal, invisible into tangible. Her insights into human nature are expressed through enchanting imagery."

She first landed a big project from Anthropologie in 2010, a widely loved brand that sells unique and beautiful women apparel, homeware and accessories. So far she has designed paper murals, dishware, prints, and clothing in her signature enchanting style.

Getaway in an Owl Shaped Cabin

Would you like to rent an owl shaped cabin for your next vacation? This beach-side adorable owl inspired cabin is located in Sandhills in the little town of Hightown, UK, that's about 20 minutes outside of Liverpool. Tracy Caroline Lewis the owner worked with a London based artist who is also her friend Tim Cole to build this eco-shed using recycled materials and a beautiful grass roof.

The most amazing feature of this shed, the windows are made from old glass bottles which look like big round eyes and give the shed an owl-like appearance. The house overlooks coastal sand dunes makes it an ideal spot for those you enjoy the outdoor views.

"As an artist it’s important to me that things are beautiful but they also have to be functional so Owl House fills that perfectly.” - via. For more details on how to reserve this house go to airbnb.

"The Watchers" is another cool and funky owl shaped cabin that I blogged previously here. Take a look!
