curator

since tom and i re-arranged the living room into our new record lounge, we have a dresser that needs a little attention. one day when i came home, tom, deemed the top of the dresser our museum where we could exhibit our: brick-a-brack, chochkies, and odds and ends...things like that.
this weekend tom told me it was my job to curate the next shw so i put this together. we went shopping at tj's and picked up the beautiful peonies and we also stopped at the thrift store where we found a few frames. after i arranged a few things, i felt it needed something else..like a bit of pop...and then a light bulb went off, i realized that mr. beaumont would look perfect in the new red oval frame we just bought! very happy i bought the frame.
i also finally picked up my work from the gallery i was in last month and thought my violets should make a showing. i just grabbed a few other things and wayla! very happy with the results.

i love that tom made this suggestion. it was really fun and keeps things fresh :)

  3. Very nice! I love the way the colors all look together.

    Where do you find all these oval frames? I have been keeping my eyes out for some, and no success. Any tips?

    1. a lot of the oval frames i have found either thrifting or one i know i found at urban outfitters many many years ago. the ones i use for my paintings though are from viking wood crafts. they have some great things!
