Thrifty Art!

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

I went out thrifting in Temecula this weekend and picked up a few small things – one being this ambiguously sexed reclining nude watercolor addition to my collection of thrift store art.



I love the simple black frame and washy background as well as the delicate rendering. I installed it on the wainscoting that encircles the den in order to balance out the little vignette happening on the tension pole wall unit. Ooooh vignette layering, I’m feeling so fancy!

The Boy freaked out when I started hammering a nail in the paneling…he was like “what are you DOING! You can’t make HOLES in the wainscoting”. Which sounded like the silliest thing to yell..wainscoting. What a weird word.

There are all sorts of giant knots and ragged holes in the crappy pine paneling so this little finish nail isn’t our biggest worry. He’s right though – I tend to take down and move paintings almost every week. I do make and patch a lot of holes.

It takes courage to be fabulous…or to make your house look like swiss cheese.

Rejuvenation

Monday, May 25th, 2009


So I am
LOSING to little baby poopy hands. Again.

The question is – how did Timothy in Portland get over 150 votes in like 1 day?

Seriously.

I really thought we had this thing all tied up. I guess there just might be an anti-Brick House movement somewhere on the interweb.

There is only about 7 more days till the end of the Rejuvenation contest and it looks like Tim Tim wants a FIGHT.

Hopefully we can muster up some more votes.

Again, I am annoyingly soliciting your vote. I promise it will all be over soon – May 31st in fact.

I just listed some new things over at the old Etsy store. Check them out and maybe adopt them to fancy up your lovely abode.
