living room...



the forever evolving state of my home.
after moving all of the furniture around in the living room, i was left with a giant blank wall on one side... a drop cloth, a bit of paint, and the words of e.e. cummings helped fill the void.  an under $20 project... which makes it easy to replace with another, when the mood strikes.  several ideas are already floating about it my head; but, for now, reading this every morning over my cup of coffee is proving to be a lovely way to start the day.  here is the full poem...


"i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon"  - e.e. cummings










now i'm on the lookout for a big rug and a few more splashes of bright color to balance the gray, black, and white tones.













happy sunday

this week at home...


a few photos from home this week... and, yes, i've switched every room in the house around.  the living room is the bedroom... the bedroom is the office... the office is the living room.  exhausting.

this move was initiated by a morning in which i awoke with a sudden, fevered (and was also literally feverishly sick at the time) desire to change everything about.  after two crazy hours of moving all of the furniture from room to room... tada! fortunately, it turned out that i was pleased with the end result.  for now.















the beautiful pillow my mom made for me, as a christmas gift this year...















speaking of christmas gifts... the gorgeous 'tree of life' that my sister designed and hand stitched...
