Alphonse Mucha

I am so in love with this artist. His work is amazing. I was introduced to his work when I was in Port Jefferson one day at an art gallery. This one to be exact http://imaginegallery.ifp3.com/. Not from Long Island? Not familiar with Port Jefferson? Well it's a small town on the North Shore of Long Island next to the Long Island Sound. It has many small shops and restaurants. I practically grew up there when I was younger. I love it there because it has so many great memories for me, new and old. http://www.portjeff.com/
Off topic for a second, my two favorite places to eat there are http://toastcoffeehouse.com/ and http://ruvorestaurant.com/

Ok so back to how I came to love Alphonse Mucha, while I was at the art gallery I saw this painting by Viktor Shvaiko called "Les Noces de Jeannette." It was stunning !

If you look close at the blue building on the left you will see some of Alphonse Mucha's work. So from there I was interested. I looked up more of his work and immediately fell more in love. The posters and paintings are gorgeous. Here are some of my favorites, some.








I'd love to have a tattoo of his work on me but I am not one for large tattoos on myself. I feel that would be the only way to do his work justice. So maybe for now I will frame some of his works and put them in my office.

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 ...

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.

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...
