VIRGINIA'S OPSAIL 2012: DAY 2

 ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR EVENTS I HAVE EVER SEEN..... INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC SHIPS SAILING IN BOAT PARADE FROM THE CHESAPEAKE BAY INTO DOWNTOWN NORFOLK FOR OPSAIL 2012.

WE THOUGHT THE SAILORS WERE FAKE AT FIRST.....UNTIL THE SHIP GOT
CLOSER.....CRAZY!

SAILING DOWN THE ELIZABETH RIVER IN THE PARADE OF SAILS

JUST ANOTHER DAY ON THE BOAT FOR R? LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!

THE INDONESIAN SHIP WAS CRACKING ME UP-THEY WERE BLASTING MUSIC AND THE SAILORS WERE DANCING HIGH UP IN THE SAILS-GUESS THEY ARENT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!

DOWNTOWN NORFOLK

THE MEXICAN SAILORS...GOOD TO SEE THEM WEARING A  HARNESS!

COULDN'T ASK FOR A NICER DAY.

BEFORE AND AFTER: BEACH HOUSE FAMILY ROOM

THIS WAS A FUN PROJECT....MY GOOD FRIEND'S PARENTS DECIDED TO RENOVATE THEIR BEACH HOUSE AND KINDLY ASKED FOR MY ASSISTANCE. WE CAME UP WITH A COLOR PALETTE OF COOL BEACHY FABRICS AND WENT TO WORK.

TODAY WAS MOVE IN DAY.....AND THE  MISSION?   FIGURING OUT THE BEST FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT FOR THE FAMILY ROOM.

THE RESULT? AN INVITING SPACE WITH TONS OF SEATING BUT DOESN'T LOOK CROWDED!

HERE ARE A FEW BEFORE SHOTS FOLLOWED BY THE AFTER!

AND THE LUCK HOMEOWNERS CAN'T WAIT TO HANG SOME PAINTING FROM THE VERY TALENTED ARTIST (AND THEIR DAUGHTER!)SARAH LYTLE
