  • Make your own kind of music

    What’s a redecorating project without art? The only bad thing about working with  me is that I’m a pain in the ass when it comes to art. I like it to be custom. I don’t want someone to walk in my house and say, “Oh, I have that same print!” or “Oh, you got that…

  • It’s all about the art

    So that you don’t get super bored by me talking about the upcoming marathon, I’ll talk about something else today. More home decorating! I already showed you my closet. What’s next? Today I’ll show you the hallways. Sounds boring, but that’s where some of the art is. Let me start by saying 99% of the…

  • Where the heck I’ve disappeared to

  • Weird paintings and exgirlfriends

    Do you like this painting? Alexander Calder lithograph This is an Alexander Calder lithograph that used to belong to Jeff’s stepfather. It was given to Gray (Jeff’s stepfather) by a former girlfriend – and Jeff’s mom always hated it. They “pawned” it off on him, which made him happy – he loves it! In fact,…
