So I've been scaling the net for a while now, and I have been hunting down some nice photographs. My house has been undergoing decorative therapy and I want to put freaking art on the walls. But then I realized I should take some photos, like I used to a while back now. I was actually pretty good and got some thumbs up for my black and whites. So maybe soon I will be investing in some kind of camera. I figured it could inspire my creative writers block that I have felt lately. Although I will admit that I am feeling the tingling of a good story in the back of my mind, but who knows what my brain will come up with....
I've gotta get at least SOME shots with my cheap camera. It takes decent pictures though. So we'll see.
So far I put up a picture of a couple kissing in front of The Eiffel Tower. It has always been a dream of mine to visit Paris... Who wouldn't hit up Paris? Not just for the romance, either. Hell no. I want to see the cafe's, museums, art, you name it. I'm there. So that picture just had to go into my bedroom.
In my hallway there is a picture of Old Times Square. I can't quite put my finger on the year the picture was taken, but I can tell you that Coca Cola HAD been invented, as there is an ad in the picture. So I'm assuming the 1920's, or maybe the 30's. Again I could be wrong, but who knows.
Change can be a good thing sometimes, I think. For instance, in the case of my home, it wasn't that cute when I moved in. And just a little love and care and a couple bucks on something for the walls makes it look nice. I bought some art, added it to my already small art collection, including sconces, and look..... my house feels like a lived in home, and it feels good. I did it all on my own and I feel as though I have confidence in running my own home.
Theres something to be said about decorating your first real place where you're "allowed" to do so. I've been living in efficiencies for a while now, and I couldn't do anything there...So now having the opportunity to get the things I want; the paint color I want, the sofa I want, the decorations I want...it feels damn good! And I'm damn proud that I could do it, and that I can continue to do so! Woo Hoo! Yay me!
I've been feeling really good about life lately. Maybe that means something, maybe not. Either way I'm riding the wave of joy as long as it lasts, baby!
