Alas, it's not always this obvious, but I feel I've been getting some signs that, with a few twists & turns, I'm headed in the right direction as of late, pretty loud & clear...
Anyone else feeling it?

the little things
We recently painted our small bath - outdated, moldy wallpaper finally sent us over the edge. What a difference the littlest details make!
The only before pic we have is quite murky & grainy, but besides the encroaching floral wallpaper, you can just make out some of the first things to go shortly after we moved in: the plastic knobs with screen-printed citrus fruits bedecking the lovely corner built-in, white plastic outlet covers, lucite green toilet seat with suspended dried flowers floating about inside, & the faded light-blocking paper window shade. Brushed nickel knobs, ceramic outlet covers, a plain white wood toilet seat & mattress- ticking blind stepped in to freshen things up. Left as-is was the gorgeous woodwork (maple that was handcrafted by local Estey Organ woodworkers, from what we've been told) & original fixtures from the 30s.
I love how clean & fresh & bright it feels now, & how the wood stands out with the lettuce-y green walls.

happy weekend
Spring is coming on strong, the biggest, brightest moon in almost 20 years is going to shine down upon us this weekend, & I'm embarking upon a few new projects... onward & upward!
this is beautiful
Experimental Polish photographer Jerzy Lewczynski was inspired by avant-garde art & film as well as amateur photography & the found object. Working in the spirit of an archaeologist, his own photographs, as well as photo essays made from decaying found negatives & family photographs from his personal archives, created narratives that not only commented on the absurdity of Polish reality at that point in time, but perhaps explored how we create the story of our lives & histories as well.
I find his use of light & shadow astonishingly beautiful.

Thanks, Rain!
