I decided to put some art up on the empty wall in our kitchen across from the kitchen table. I played around with a bunch of ideas before my good friend Joanne Taylor recommended a great idea of putting up shelves. This way we could interchange our \’art\’ and make it a seasonal display. Our inspiration for this wall was Seattle and you can see that it is not so subtle.
Don put up the shelves before Quinn started school and I didn\’t realize how much art work that Quinn would be contributing to our collection. It\’s great because he\’s always making seasonal art at school. You can see some of his handiwork below.
It\’s funny because Quinn used to be the boy that ran away when I pulled out my camera. Now he just needs to get in the picture. He will put himself in front of the camera and say \’cheese\’. Not much cheese here 😉
One of Don and my favorite restaurants in Seattle was a place called Poppy. They serve Indian inspired Thali which is a bunch of little dishes of yummy food. It was great because the food was spectacular and we felt comfortable taking Quinn with us. For our Seattle inspired wall, I got this crazy idea of including menus of our favorite Seattle restaurants. Poppy happened to be the only one that came to the rescue and sent us a bunch of menus, business cards, and fun stuff. I took their menus, a Seattle road map, a blank stretched canvas, mod podge and made this…
I think it turned out pretty good and adds an interesting touch to our wall of art.
I can\’t let you go without one very cute picture our happy little guy.
