If you follow my blog then you know that right now I am in transition as we sold our old home and are waiting for the new home to be built.  We also received the news a few weeks ago, that our new home which was supposed to be ready in November will not be finished until March, 2011.  This has definitely altered our life and living situation, an example is my 3 year old keeps saying “Mommy, whose house is this?” re: our transition home.

I will have a studio space in my new place and that is the most frustrating part of the delay from my perspective because I have been dreaming of the space and what it would look like as well as the flexibility it will bring to my business.  Thankfully, all my friends and family have definitely helped me to see the bright side of the situation.

We have decided to decorate our transition home with photographs and make it a real home and not just a waiting place.  I have been going through different ideas and thought I would share some of the info with you, as when it comes to displaying your favourite photographs a plan is always a great way to start.

Start with going through your images and selecting images that you love and also consider the tones and colour in the images so that they truly work with your decor.  I like using frames that are the same style and colour for wall displays and frames that are unique for desk displays…that is just my personal taste, so do what works for you.  Next, create a wall layout using paper, cardboard or painters tape. Hang and level your frames and enjoy.

I will post pics, once I have completed my wall art.

Celebrating life and love,

Gina

I have been slacking when it comes to blogging.  Life is all over the place right now, literally, we are moving out of our first home and will be in between homes until our new place is ready in November.  So it has been a little crazy but we have it all figured out, for now at least.

I am spending all my free time on getting outside the box and exposing myself to different art forms and just looking for ideas and inspiration.  I am dedicated to taking my art to the next level, I believe that we never stop growing and learning and in other to do that I want to expose myself to as much as possible.

I want to leap out of my comfort zone and explore things that I would normally think too weird or different.  Art is in everything and it is time to embrace a new perspective.

I came across this teaser for an art exhibit by Gregory Colbert that is breathtakingly beautiful and truly an amazing experience.  I am better for having experienced it and I hope you will enjoy it too.

Please let me know if you have come across any inspiring art lately.

Celebrating love and life,

Gina

I know the weather we are currently receiving is probably seasonal but it has been nippy over the past couple of days.  I guess I became spoiled with the unusually warm temperatures we were experiencing and today as I was longing for the warmer temperatures it hit me that I had not yet shared a story with you that I came across in the winter.  I want to share this story because it is such an important one, I have a 2 and 1/2 year old daughter and this story made my heart ache.  So with the warm summer months soon upon us, my wish for you is that as you enjoy the warm summer days that you will keep little Ava in the back of your mind so that her story never becomes yours.
