Jamison Brosseau

I came across an old friend's artwork and was blown away.

Jamison and I were high school friends though I haven't seen him much since high school.

I'd heard he was living in Brooklyn and was an artist, 

which to me is the most romantic of livelihoods.

I'm happy he's living the dream for both of us.

I find his work very energetic, bright, engaging, bold, fun.

Words much like him when I knew him.

Doings

Here are some doings in which I've been engaged in.

I helped a friend put up a family gallery wall.
I was nervous because most of the frames were small and I thought it may look too busy,
but it turned out fab.
Just don't look behind the frames. Ha.
But seriously...don't.

I pitched a built-in ledge to Mr. Office Redo.

The office doesn't have room for bookcases and every office needs books, 

{duh}

so the bottom ledge will fit standing, face forward art or coffee table type books 

while the top ledge will house personal photographs and rock memorabilia, which the Mr. has lots of.

And more from Project Office,
custom trimmed curtains were hung on the bay window with Ikea RACKA curtain rods
and corner connectors.
Many thanks again to Naomi for the idea.

Apologies for the bad, dark camera phone picture of the bay office window.

The little things are getting to me lately.
People I normally think are awesome I'm finding annoying.
I need a break.

On Thursday I'm heading to Los Angeles to visit my BFF since I was three, Ann.

I'm beyond excited to be with her.

I know it will be just what I need to get back into the fray.

Oh Instagram,

I barely remember what life was like without you.
