Where the heart is...

We found these outdoor plexiglass letters at
 POP in East Greenwich and I had to have them.
 No one ever has my initials and he had
these two and a C so if your name is Clarice go buy it.

We covered my ugly 3 lamp chandelier with a capiz
 shell wall hanging. It's so much more civilized. 

Everyone or their grandparents had these old bureaus.
 I painted them glossy black and added new hardware
 so it's not elderly anymore. 

So many ways to hang artwork. The grouping has an abstract by Melissa Brown,
 a portrait of Roy the Boy by Jane Puerini,  Silver point drawing by Rick Sousa
 and they all work together.

Found this pine chest in it's natural state and painted a great green.
 It's perfect next to Gary Cooper. 

I love the curves of this Heywood Wakefield dresser.

The fireplace doesn't work so I hung an orange painting
 of fabric by Suzanne Berry as an optical illusion. It works.

My favorite gift ever is the Bullitt car from the movie starring my late first husband.

The two portraits of pets past and present by Steven Sickles
 hang over the vases of different size and color. 

The kitchen has no storage, so I use two antique Chinese chests.

Who can live without books and artwork? Artwork by Shawn Kenney,
 Mark Freedman and Cow by Anita  Brown.

Someone was throwing this painting away and the corner
 of the yard was so dull. It's survived through three winters so far.

Mrs. Brown made a cow.

We made this sculpture from rocks, plumbing pipe
 and copper sheets. The patina is coming along greenly.

Transforming an ugly chandelier into dinner at the beach. 

Found this driftwood on Dutch Island, RI. So many ways to hang artwork.

Let's give Mid-Century modern a hand. Artwork by Mark Freedman.

We made this table/pot-rack at The Steel Yard in Providence, RI.
 The wood is recycled from a neighbor. 

Drama + Comfort = This spot.
 Artwork was salvaged and framed . We love it!

Found this old childhood memory at POP in East Greenwich, RI.

The craft room. Salvation, Creativity and all mine.

I told you it was salvation. This originally was an old storage room.
 Paint, lighting, shelving and passion makes this perfect.

Books! Lots and lots of BOOKS.
