ART INSPIRATION: A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND AN EMPTY WALL

IT'S SUNDAY AND THIS DAY HAS BEEN PERFECT!! IT'S SUNNY AND 80 SOMETHING....SKY IS BLUE AND PEOPLE ARE OUT ON THE WATER!

MY  CLAN OF 4  HAD A PICNIC LUNCH ON THE BOAT-FIRST ONE OF THE SEASON-MY FAVORITE THING TO DO ON BEAUTIFUL WARM DAYS!!

AND THEN THE EMPTY WALL ON THE STAIRWAY LANDING KEPT BUGGING ME-I NEED A MASSIVE PAINTING. TIME TO GET INSPIRED AND GET BUSY!

AS USUAL, I GO TO MY "ART THAT I LOVE" BOARD ON PINTEREST....

FOR INSPIRATION-MOSTLY COLOR INSPIRATION. I LOVE GREENS, BLUES, PERIWINKLES.......WANT THAT IN MY NEXT PAINTING!!

I BOUGHT A 40" X 60" CANVAS...MY LARGEST YET...I CANT WAIT TO GET STARTED. I REALLY WANT SOME BLUE LIKE MY MADELINE WEINRIB RUG IN THE PAINTING. I THINK THIS WILL BE A NICE TRANSITION OFF THE WET BAR SPACE......

SO HERE IS THE EARLY EARLY STAGES OF MY NEW PAINTING THAT I CANT WAIT TO SEE EVOLVE.

KITCHEN IDEAS:REMODELING ON THE BRAIN!

I'VE HAD SEVERAL KITCHEN INQUIRIES LATELY SO I HAVE BEEN OBSESSING ABOUT THE LATEST AND GREATEST DESIGNS OUT THERE!

ONE KITCHEN REDO IN PARTICULAR IS FROM A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE IN NORFOLK BUILT IN 1926...STILL HAS SOME OF THE ORIGIONAL CABINETRY AND EVEN A BUILT-IN IRONING BOARD.....LOADS OF CHARACTER BUT THE HOMEOWNER NEEDS IT FRESHENED UP. THE CEILINGS ARE 10 FT AND I REALLY THINK CABINETS UP TO THE CEILING WOULD MAXIMIZE STORAGE SPACE AND BE BEAUTIFUL.....

THESE FANTASTIC KITCHENS HAVE REALLY INSPIRED ME!

AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF DELIBERATING THE BEST BACK PORCH FURNITURE SCENERIO (I AM SO SO SO INDECISIVE WHEN IT COMES TO MY OWN DECOR-UGH!), I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME.
