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.

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...

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...
