Inside the Art Show

-
As most of you may already know.. it is all I have been talking about... I had my first New York City art exhibition over the weekend at Studio580. I have made it a habit, even a motto maybe to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. So that is what I did.. all these months, weeks days and even to the last hour I hoped for the best but was prepared for the worst..

Thankfully hope was on my side and I had no need to prepare for anything but one of the most amazing experience of my professional life.. The wonderful Javier Infantes started working on this project more than 4 months ago. He received almost 300 applications during all this time, 37 artists were selected. 500 people walked through the doors of Studio580 during those 3 hours. 


And here is just a glimpse





















Being surrounded by all this wonderful talent, creative juices flowing, meeting new people, hearing what they have to say, their interpretation of your work, the stories to hear the stories to tell.. this is what I want to be doing. This is where I want to be..

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making
