HGTV- Curb Appeal

One of the most exciting things that happened to me this year is that I was picked to be a designer on an episode of Curb Appeal on HGTV. I worked together with another artist on this mural above.

The house that I picked to do was a rowhouse in D.C. The owners share a walkway with their next door neighbors that leads to the back alley. I thought it would be a nice touch to add a little artsy touch to this space. Previously it was just plain dark brick. We painted the whole walkway lighter and added this small mural. It's the tree of D.C. and marks when the row of houses was built.

The episode just aired and it was so crazy! My closest friends were here, a few live too far away, and it was surreal.....thanks to everyone for all there support and all the compliments!

Thanks to Curb Appeal, HGTV and Edelman Productions for the opportunity!

Rob Zombie- Educated Horses Tour

9:30 Club- Sunday March 26

Rob Zombie and crew completely rocked Washington D.C. It was my first time seeing the legendary musician-film maker. I highly recommend catching his show- the background movies were totally amazing-and the music was just as good as I thought it would be!!

Morrissey in concert

There are few bands/musicians that I can say have been a constant since I started listening to them. Morrissey/The Smiths are definitely one of them. I've been hooked ever since High School. A few years ago I had the previledge of seeing Morrissey play at Nation in Washington, D.C. As you can see I got pretty darn close to him. At one point inches away from getting a hand shake...ugh so close! I'm a huge huge fan and am looking forward to his upcoming cd Ringleader of the Tormentors out April 4th!!! It's a bit of a different album for him. He is finally seeing some happiness in the world and I think it's going to show in his latest.

Our little nest

My latest project: We needed something in our room. Having 4 empty near white walls just wasn't cutting it anymore.

In the winter, we refer to our bed as "our nest." More often than not we would rather be there than outside in the freezing cold. So what better picture to put up above "the nest" than the underside of a tree- and just to be extra cheesy a look of carved initials in the trunk-

Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park-

Surprisingly this picture was taken just a few weeks ago. It was the first time out with my new Holga (which I looooove by the way)

This place is so interesting. They are in the middle of renovating it but are keeping a lot of the really cool and old looking parts. I recommend checking it out one day-small art galleries, a glass blowing place, yurts where they make jewelry, and an old school ballroom.
