sunny asked:


What expectations did you have? Adoptees did you think your parents would be ‘in love’ with you, and love you ‘unconditionally’? And natural parents, did you expect that from your children, or expect to feel that way yourselves?

Personally, I had NO expectations. I was just relieved when I found out that she didn’t live in a trailer, going on the information I had from the agency.

After time, years, I grew to love my mother. But it was always completely familiar, of course, because we were as closely related as two people can be. We have the same favorite color, and tastes in art, music, decor, movies, hobbies, the list goes on.

Do tell…
BIG thank you to Phil for the interesting facts about siblings, twins, and DNA!

My room was recently re-painted. The walls are a tan color with one accent wall that is a cornflower/periwinkle blue. I would like some ideas on cheap DIY ideas for my walls. Something like cutting a picture in half or thirds and putting it on picture frames in a sequence. Pictures of the craft would be great just so I can get a feel of what it looks like.

Spike asked:


So which one do all of you think is better in your views. I say it is Vegas, because of all the corporate owned casinos and the kind of business it brings along like the big name resturants, shopping and shows. Also all that nice themed art decor that have been done to the casinos Atlantic City,I would say still has a long way to go, but it is a start with Caesar’s Pier shopping. Another thing about Vegas, it is a teaching tool for shopping malls and centers in Northen California, Southen California, Washington, Utha, Arizona, and other states and cities. Outside Of Vegas it is the Disney parks shopping areas and it decor. Another thing about AC is there is still not much to do for anyone, when they don’t feel like gambling at the moment, but not in Vegas. Another thing about Vegas, is it also teach how to put up ads as a deor for an area of business and retail part of town. Indian casinos are even worst. They are really not as good as the corporate owned ones at all.

Hi Everyone!

I am getting married next year and was wondering if you guys could give me ideas of where to register and where not to register.

I have heard good and bad things about Target…Any thoughts? Should I go through a department store for Fine China? Does anyone have any opinions on different stores? Are there cool stores to register for art and decor, things like that?

I am from the Chicago area, so if anyone from/knows the area would be able to give me local places that would be great too!

Thank you everyone!

I find great deals on excellent pieces of furniture, art, and home decor. Everyone who has seen it is impressed. I want to show my home to the public. How?

image asked:


can sit and read a magazine or discuss the design of the unique dinnerware you want us to make for you (handmade/painted), you can even come in and paint your own pottery or join a photography workshop. We offer for 12 years and up (birthday parties)…of course they will paint their own piece of pottery. The idea is you relax and do not have to be a profesional or you indulge in our art decor, interior designers purchase by us and companies have their meetings in our tranquil atmosphere while having fun designing mugs for the office-WHAT WOULD YOU NAME OUR LITTLE STUDIO???

carleenmarcorelle asked:


A while back, I saw a piece of art in the wall decor section of Target. I remember it had the look of a painting and it was of a motorcycle (possibly a Harley?), and it was red, blacks and tan. I thought if I could find out the artist name, I might be able to find it online. Did anyone out there purchase this?

Diy Teens Wall Art Decor Project, decorating projects ideas for teens.

Article by: Madeleine M Langlois

Miy Project: Teen wall art decor “Graffiti Paris Canvas Art”

My teenage son’s graffitilike text on paper and book covers gave me the idea of asking him to make an artwork peice for a decor exhibit I took part in. His contribution was the word Paris in graffitilike text done in pastels on a box-style canvas.

I wanted to share with other teens and mom with teens to encourage their teens in their art form, and that it can be acheive on many other surfaces besides walls.

Hands-on time: An hour or more, depending on detail.

Total time:Plus drying time for varnish.

Skill: this miy teen wall art decor project idea is of easy to moderate skill depending on the details.

Materials & Tools:

•Artist canvas (17.8 x 17.8 centimetres) 3D box-style

•Oil pastels in assorted colours (many brands available, try a few samples)

•Pencil

•Drawing paper and graphite paper

•Graffiti design

•Masking tape

•Permapaque artist markers by Sakura

•Grey and white eraser

•Cloth

•Workable fixative by Krylon

MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE AT ARTS AND CRAFTS STORES or on line.

MIY INSTRUCTIONS:Art is a great way to interact with teens and encourage self-expression and creativity.

Using a style they’re familiar with is even better. What’s essential with this project is that it is done in the same spirit as graffiti — free-flowing expression captured on canvas.

Art is a great way to interact with teens and encourage self-expression and creativity. Using a style they’re familiar with is even better. What’s essential with this project is that it is done in the same spirit as graffiti –free-flowing expression captured on canvas.

Preprimed canvas is ideal for graffitilike art. On paper, draw or write words (in our case it was the word Paris) to use as a template. With a pencil, draw the text on the canvas or transfer it onto the canvas using graphite paper. Cut out the word from the sheet of paper. Cut a piece of graphite paper in the same size. Put graphite paper under the cutout word and secure with masking tape. Use a pencil or pen to trace the design onto the canvas.

Colour the word or text in three or four colours of pastels, shading in areas around the edges of the letters. Use scrap pieces of paper to practice shading first, if preferred. Glide pastels smoothly onto the canvas and lift the tips as soon as the lines are finished. You can use a cloth or your fingers to blend the colours. Use a wide marker for the outlines. Add a colour border around the letters.

The background is left white. Use the grey part of eraser to remove pencil, graphite lines or pastel smudges.To protect the artwork from dust and smudges, spray on fixative in a side-to-side motion. It fixes the pastels without leaving a glossy finish. Several coats can be applied. Let dry between each coat.

Variations: Use different sizes of canvases to let your teen create his or her mini art gallery. Larger canvases placed side by side have impact. Smaller canvases are perfect for personalized tags. For younger children, create a montage to add colour to a bare wall. Paint several canvases, each in a different solid colour: yellow, blue, green, etc. Then let children doodle on them, using pastels in assorted bright colours. Thick wax crayons or washable markers can also be used. This is a great activity for a birthday party.If your teen wants to do larger frames with spray paints, be sure they work in a well-ventilated area and wear a protective mask. Spray paint fumes are toxic.
