Kent and Rick purchased this 1950's Better Homes and Garden home in May. In a matter of months they have transformed it into a showplace filled to the brim with their art and wonderful art collections.
This is a photo of the exterior. I am quite sure it is the "before" photo since I know it will be another color next year, if not sooner. These boys are fearless and change the color of their home like most folks change their clothes.
The following photos are a small sample. As our Project Runway Thursdays (as they are now known) continue new posts will reveal their talent in all areas including culinary. Did I mention the meal served was FAB!!!! You can also guarentee a high thread count on your bedding. I slept in the newly painted guest room.
The new season of Project Runway was worth the wait! Tim Gunn made it work and Heidi could not have been more adorable. The first hour was previous contestants. It was interesting to see how their talent has evolved or not.
Project Runway is loved by a lot of folks. But as artists I think we "get" the creative process. The same process is used in my work "jewelry", Kent's work "sculpture" and Rick's work "weaving". To find our raw materials, to develop a design, to complete the vision.
Oh what a lovely weekend! A good time was had by all vendors and patrons.
Love the jaunty angle she wears her hat and her tape measure legs.
I have always loved Miss Liberty. Love how she looks and her message.

* note the bench at the foot of the bed is one of Rick's creations.
Kent is a master space planner and was a high end kitchen designer before he became a professional artisan. The kitchen needs a week all it's own. This niche is just a tease of things to come.
This room is original to the Better Homes and Garden house plan. As if you are living in your rustic vacation home. There are windows which line the back wall. A lovely hand crafted fireplace. The room is filled with Arts and Crafts elements. Pine panneling and beams make the room comfy art filled space. 
Several years ago Bonnie Blue (real name) brought her Women Who Rock van to the KY Art Car Weekend at the KY Museum of Art and Craft along with her husband who drives the large rat (see earlier post about Harlan and his unfortunate accident). We clicked and discovered we had lots in common. Including the fact that we both had a business repairing porcelain and pottery.
Jude has a mojo bag that fits you. Every theme you can imagine. 
Toni-Ware's wonderful, whimsical wall vases. Sold in my store @ the Mellwood Art Center. 
KT, Jenny, and Sweet Sue took part in the E.G.R.T. First stop IKEA.....Jungle Jim's International Market.
Proud parents along with brother Ryan.
