Art

I found this photo print today at 20x200. It looks so much like our backyard!! We should start ca$hing in. zOMG

Upon further inspection I find the artist, Liz Kuball's, statement charming - and she's from DC! Kindreds.

"When you move out to California from back east, you come for a reason: You're leaving behind a bad relationship, escaping your hometown or thinking you'll be a star. And what you find when you get here is that things aren't what you thought they'd be. There's some of what you expected—sunshine and palm trees and long, wide beaches. But there's more: houses with cacti and succulents in place of the green lawns you grew up with; women in bikinis climbing ladders; trees groomed in an archway, the expected path between them blocked by a gateless chain-link fence. You answer an ad on craigslist for a used car and find yourself in a boxed-in car lot in Van Nuys and go for pie at Du-par's afterward, because pie makes sense when you're on Ventura Boulevard and it's 95 degrees and the car wasn't what the ad said it would be. And you'd think that, after all this, you'd become disillusioned and go back home; some do, of course, but many more of us stay and, instead of growing bitter, we hang on—hang on to a world that, to us, is even more fantastic than the one we thought we'd find, because it's real in its absurdity and because we have stories to tell."

Up in the Air

i keep staring at the space behind the tv in the living room, and imagining how nice it would look with an antoine rose "up in the air" print. so many nice details and colors... it's fun to imagine reading a good book on one of those blankets. :)

update- found this one too... damn these prices! toggle between sizes for a reality shock.

Rainfall, Upstate New York

Beautiful photographic print by Chikara Umihara. it's from 20x200 - a website that sells art prints for as little as $20! We have a few from there already, and I love them so much. I wish this one wasn't sold out. I'd love to see it everyday in our home. Can't you just hear the rain coming down?

i keep looking at this harry gruyaert photo on jeanne damas' instagram page. i love that it's so dark and blurry and sexy. we have more prints hanging around the house than we know what to do with, or where to place, but there always room for more art, right?
