Thanks Emily! That’s such a great compliment to hear, thank you 🙂

Small world! The booths are juried and they try to shake things up, focusing on handmade crafts as a theme. Too bad this artist wasn't there then.

Thanks!! Expect more art soon. I'm framing randomer (it's a word) and randomer (okay maybe not) things.

Thanks Staci! I had planned on that spot when I bought them but so many of my other ideas weren't so good in person, I was certain these would look less than ideal. So a big sigh of relief when I loved how it looked! I love it when a plan comes together . . .

Thanks Mari. I also love it with the curtain rods. The new art helps to make the black accents make sense.

I love art with meaning too. It makes me smile when I see it and I think that's a huge part of the importance of art. I'm not really good at being concerned with what's popular, who is an important artist or whatnot. I like art that makes me smile.

Thanks Amelia. Definitely visit Hungary!! I will do a post on must-see things soon and am more than happy to speak via email. I'll even give you some language tips!

Thanks Jen! Yep, that space gets tons of light from patio doors and huge windows. We need them, though, because the front of the house on the mainfloor has almost none! A sliver of a window by the front door!! So the only light comes from there.
