the ins and outs

tacking onto last friday's post since my living room wall remains blank:  while it would be fabulous to amass an art collection or create a mural for that space, a simpler, quicker sort of project with items i may already have is a very appealing option to explore. wishing you a very happy weekend.

relaxing, strengthening, quietly majestic and full of character....trees, trees, trees. each one is unique and can stand on its own, but in groupings they appear more symphonic. enjoy the dangling handmade trees that will appear in the shop this week. each has its own one-of-a-kind color scheme.

the ins and outs

one file on my pinterest page is titled 'for that blank wall'.  i have been preoccupied with design options for a newly created blank wall in our living room after moving out some furniture.  mural, painting or photo enlargement? so difficult to choose. wishing you a decidedly happy weekend.
