Art is life, life is art...

I decided to share some of the artwork we have around our home. Some will be used for years and some will I am sure, be replaced.

This in our guest room. My husband bought me the Jack Vettriano years back that hung in our old bedroom for a while. The other stone artworks were gathered over the years. I recently sold these three at a Flea Market this past weekend.


These are pictures my friend has taken and I have framed. Lots of her photos are through out our home. Nice eclectic mix.


These four are in our main guest room, all purchased from HomeGoods.





This is in my husband's den, bought from, you guessed it, HomeGoods ! We got it for a steal considering we had looked on Art.com and it was way more expensive there.


These are in my living room, bought from a lovely seller on Etsy.


These came with our home lol. I believe my mother bought these years ago. They are hanging in our living room too.


This one is from a seller on Etsy, hanging in my living room.

These are in our hallway downstairs, from Etsy.


This is now in our living room too, purchased from Michael's.


This is a collage that I made for my husband's den from a football picture book.


This when you walk into our home from Homegoods


This collage is in our stairwell and the pictures and mirrors were acquired from all over. Etsy, Homegoods, gifts, my mom's basement, etc.


These are hanging in our bedroom, painting from Target, frames from Ikea and the postcards inside frames, Michael's.


This one is in my office, from Homegoods, so not my favorite and will be replaced one day.


And this gem right here is now in our dining room, from a thrift store in Port Jefferson. Love it.


So that wraps some of the artwork treasures we have collected over the years.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of...

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.
