Where do I start?
As if an angel heard me asking that question, I get an email from the Baltimore Museum of Art. They are looking for a few folks and families to participate in a project where you borrow some art! They just launched a project called Home Stories created for the Imagining Home exhibition opening in October 2015. Participants will take home a full-size reproduction of a work of art from the exhibition to display in their homes for approximately one month. We can put the art up anywhere in the home and then after a month, a video team from the BMA comes to our home and interviews our family about the experience of living with the work.
Here I am in a major overhaul of the little Goddesses’ room and the BMA is passing out art for people to live with! There were three options to choose from:
A Quick Nap by Walter Henry Williams
Steerage by Alfred Stieglitz
A selection from Jim Goldberg’s Rich and Poor series
A few others.
Well…I have a little ball of light in the form of a 3 year old girl who won’t sleep in her room for the life of me…guess which piece of suggestive art work I chose?
Yep, you guessed it!
A Quick Nap by Walter Henry Williams!
We are revamping the entire room to make it an educational wonderland with a sleep cove that can’t be refused. She has out grown EVERYTHING in there so it all has to be re-purposed or replaced.
That being said…my post grad school life equals a budget.
However, a budget never stopped me from living the high life before. I just scored a piece from the BMA for a month!! The budget Goddesses are already blessing me!!
In addition, I’ve got my Pinterest board on hand, I have got you to chime in with a few suggestions and this new piece of art to work the walls! Stay tuned as we curate this little girl’s space and get this mommy some sleep.
