The walls were looking pretty bare and the apartment pretty un-lived-in, so we finally got around to hanging up some art! Enjoy this pic-heavy post.
 |
| Stacked art above the rainbow bookshelves. |
 |
| Kandinsky, van Gogh, diploma, Grant's dad's photography and a poster print of a '20s football game advertisement: Nebraska vs. New York. |
 |
| Stills from a cartoon I made Grant when we were dating. |
 |
| From afar. |
 |
| Scene above the couch. |
 |
| Masks from Grant's grandfather, who traveled the world working for the Army Corp of Engineers. |
 |
| We call this one Gandalf. |
 |
| My favorite piece in the house: a sketch of a street market his grandfather got in Bangladesh. |
 |
| Doggies enjoying their rug. |
 |
| I made that sunflower in high school for a poetry project. It was painted on a piece of wood I had laying around. I used finger paint, house paint, even crushed up food for the pigments. I always mean to get rid of it but it has a lot of sentimental value. |
 |
| Tapestry Grant got while in India for a wedding. |
 |
| Wood carving from the same trip to India and a glass hanging lantern I've had for years. |
 |
| Close-up of the wood carving. |
 |
| I got that modern clock above the doorway about five years ago. It finally looks right in this house. |
 |
| I painted that mirror with chalkboard paint for the last apartment. The print calendar hanging above the dresser was a gift from my old friend Carly Buzz. It's a collection of pieces from local artists in Kalamazoo, MI, where she lives. |
 |
| IKEA frame at the end of the hallway. Need to find fixes for that wall sconce and fuse box. |
 |
| When I got the frame I just put some wrapping paper I had in as a space filler. Maybe I'll paint the frame? Maybe I'll fill it with something else? |
 |
| Cross view from the hallway looking into the dining room and through to the living room. |
 |
| Weaving Grant got in India, hung in the hallway outside of the bathroom. |
 |
| Down the hallway looking toward the front door. |
 |
| Preserved and framed newspapers from the day after WWII ended, found in Grant's grandmother's house. Printed by the Lincoln, Nebraska newspaper. |
 |
| Charlie Bear is very helpful in these photo shoots. |
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love everything. I want to come and visit!!!!!!!!!
