IN THE ART STUDIO
INTERIOR DESIGN IS MY CAREER, BUT PAINTING IS MY PASTIME....ON SUNDAY WHILE HUBBY AND THE BOYS WENT TO GO SEE THE BLUE ANGELS, I STAYED BACK TO GO TO THE ART STORE....AND COUNDN'T WAIT TO GET SOME MORE SUPPLIES. HAD BEEN SURFING MY ART INSPIRATION ON PINTEREST
AND ALSO WATCHED CBS'S "SUNDAY MORNING" FEATURING ARTIST YAYOI KUSAMA-WOW, WHAT AN INSPIRATION! LOVED HER FAMOUS POLKA DOT ART....AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER EXIBIT AT THE WHITNEY MUSEUM!!
TIME FOR JERRY'S ARTARAMA!!
ON THE LIST: 2 LARGE CANVASES, 2 MORE GIANT WHITE OIL TUBES, A COUPLE MORE OIL STICKS (SUPER FUN TO SCRIBBLE WITH!), A COUPLE OF MORE CHARCOAL PENCILS (EVEN MORE FUN TO SCRIBBLE WITH!!!), AND SOME OIL BASED GOLD LEAF PAINT.
I HATE THE WAY MY ART LOOKS IN THE BEGINNING.....AND I HATE (EVEN MORE) THAT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT UNTIL THE OILS DRY BEFORE I CAN START THE NEXT LAYER OF PAINT.....BUT ITS A START AN I KINDA LIKE THE PROGRESS SO FAR...I THINK??
I'M ALMOST DONE WITH THIS ONE....TRIED THE GOLD LEAF PAINT AND NOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE GOLD LEAF PAINT!!
OKAY, I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.....THIS ISN'T A REAL ART STUDIO.....ITS MY UPSTAIRS HALLWAY (DONT HOLD IT AGAINST ME-I HAVEN'T DECORATED IT YET!!) THE SKYLIGHT IS AWESOME TO PAINT UNDER....... I CAN TEAR MYSELF AWAY FROM PAINTING IN THIS SPACE!!! I KNOW, IT LOOKS UGLY UGLY UGLY (ESPECIALLY THE OFFICE MAX "CONSOLE")...BUT IT WORKS GREAT!

BEAUTIFUL HOMES OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL UP IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THIS GORGEOUS HOUSE EVERYDAY TO PICK UP 3 ADORABLE KIDS THAT WE CARPOOL WITH. THE HOUSE FACES BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT VIEWS WITH A KILLER DOCK AND FLOATING DOCK THAT THE HOMEOWNERS SHARE WITH THE NEIGHBORS. I LOVE LOVE LOVE BLACK AND WHITE AWNINGS! THIS IS THE PERFECT HOME FOR THIS FAMILY OF 5 AND THEIR GOLDEN PUP.
 |
| NORFOLK HAS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LIVE OAK TREES |
 |
| ONE OF MY FAVS! |
 |
| AMAZING YARD!!!! THIS PLACE IS STUNNING. |
 |
| BIG CURB APPEAL! |
 |
| LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DRIVEWAY GATE!! |
 |
| IF THE KENNEDY'S LIVED IN NORFOLK, THIS WOULD BE THEIR COMPOUND!!THE FRONT FACES THE WATER....BUT NOT A SHABBY BACK VIEW! |
 |
| DYING TO SEE WHAT BLACK AND WHITE STRIPED AWNINGS WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THIS AWESOME PLACE-LOVE IT!! |
 |
| THIS PICTURE DOES NOT DO THIS HOUSE JUSTICE!! BUT THE HOMEOWNER WAS CUTTING HIS GRASS AND I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO SEE ME! IT'S TOTALLY A FATHER OF THE BRIDE HOUSE-I LOVE IT! |
 |
| WISH I HAD PICTURES OF THIS HOUSE FROM THE WATER-AMAZING!!! |
 |
| HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS HOUSE! |

WEEKEND AT MY COUSIN'S
I KNEW WE WERE IN FOR A TREAT GOING TO MY COUSIN'S HOUSE IN ARLINGTON, VA....THEY RECENTLY ADDED ON A KITCHEN, FAMILY ROOM, MASTER SUITE, AND POOL....COULDN'T WAIT TO HANG OUT WITH THEM AT THEIR AWESOME HOUSE!
MY COUSIN IS ONE OF SIX KIDS.....AND SHE IS A TWIN....AND HAS TWIN BROTHERS JUST OVER A YEAR YOUNGER THAN HER....NOT TO MENTION THE 2 OLDER SIBLINGS!!
HOW MY AUNT AND UNCLE STAYED SANE IS BEYOND ME. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THIS FAMILY LOVES TO LAUGH....THEY ARE THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND MOST HILARIOUS FAMILY AND I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE IVE HAD A GREAT ABS WORKOUT FROM LAUGHING SO HARD AFTER I'M WITH THEM. I LOVE MY COUSINS!!!
AND THEIR HOME? THIS IS A FUN HOME-ITS THE HOUSE THAT ALL THE TEENAGE FRIENDS LIKE TO COME TO AND HANG OUT....BECAUSE MY COUSIN WILL WELCOME ANYONE TO HER HOME AND YOU JUST WANT TO BE THERE!!....IT'S VERY LAID BACK AND CASUAL AND STYLISH AND EYE STIMULATING!! LOTS OF CREATIVE TOUCHES THROUGHOUT THANKS TO MY COUSINS FLAIR.
WE HAVE A HUGE SWEET TOOTH IN OUR FAMILY......SO WHAT DOES MY
COUSIN DO? SHE CREATED A DRAWER IN HER KITCHEN SO YOU KNOW
WHERE THE CANDY IS....AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! THE KIDS LOVED THIS.
THIS NOOK OPENS UP OFF THW KITCHEN AND FAMILY ROOM. IT'S WHERE MY COUSINS LIKE TO HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS, PLAY THEIR GUITARS, OR READ. GREAT COZY SPOT IN THE WINTER WITH THE FIREPLACE. REALLY REMINDS ME OF A BRITISH PUB!! AND THAT GRID LOOKING THING IN THE BACKGROUND? ITS OLD MAILBOXES FROM OLD POSTOFFICE WHERE THEY GREW UP IN MARYLAND. REALLY COOL!
