D.I.Y.

this collage will eventually be on my wall - not just mocked up on my bed. for a time now, i have wanted to change the art above my tv. it's been several months, but i've completed steps one through four:
- selecting photos
- buying frames
- placing photos in frames
- laying out the design

...now the hanging must occur, but my sprained ankle is not conducive to climbing up a ladder right now - so i guess the wall will have to wait a bit longer for its update.

the photos included were all taken by yours truly, and detail some of my travels over the last few years. locations included are london, firenze, berlin, helsinki, tuscany, and of course some shots of NYC. points to anyone who can match the cities with the photos.

Patti's new country house

My friend Patti bought a home in Callicoon, NY. She invited me up this weekend to help her put some finishing touches on it. We ate and drank with the locals, bought curtains/ shades/ pillows/ art, among other stuff, and hung out in the hot tub. The best part of the place is the deck which overlooks her 6 acre property. I was happy to have the opportuntity to see it and contribute a bit of my vision to how it looks. You can also visit Patti's (i'm building my new home blog) : country house - country mouse.
