If I had $225 burning a hole in my pocket, I would spend it on Jessica Hische’s Letterpress Drop Cap poster.

emiliano ponzi art

I adore this painting by Emiliano Ponzi, which I found via treasuring. I wish it were available for purchase. I’d hang it in my living room above my couch to replace my red Keep Calm And Carry On print for a couple of months during the year. For some reason I feel like red is a winter color and that for summer I should hang teal or turquoise art.

Does anybody else change up their home accessories seasonally?

springtime blues

Now that the days are growing warmer and it’s staying lighter later, I’m inspired to replace the heavy red accents in my living room, including throw pillows, a throw blanket and the “Keep Calm and Carry On” print above my couch, with brighter blues, turquoises and teals.  I’ve been browsing Etsy for possible replacement art and came up with a couple of possibilities:

Are you an artist or a vendor? If you have a print that might meet my needs, I’d love to see it! Send me an email at pj at somewhereindmiddleamerica dot com.

chihuly in omaha

Because my mom is a huge fan of glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, I made sure to take my family to the Joslyn Art Museum when they were visiting me for my birthday. Back in August, when I went on a mini vacation with my parents to San Francisco, my mom and I went to a special Chihuly exhibit at the de Young. That was my first Chihuly experience, and I was mesmerized.

The Joslyn has only two Chihuly sculptures on permanent display in its atrium — the only place in the museum where you are allowed to take photographs. Of course I couldn’t resist attempting to get artsy with my photography. The results are questionable! (As for the rest of the museum, I found it a bit boring. Sorry, Omaha.)

united plates posters

I think this Nebraska print is quite clever, as is the rest of the United Plates series. Not sure where in my house I’d hang it, though.
