Artwork - Opinions Needed

Thanks for all your comments yesterday. I am looking forward while remembering those lost. Better days ahead peeps!

So, on a higher note today -- let's talk about artwork. Remember my trip to Savannah where the artist gave me a free print?

Well, he did himself proud as I can't quit thinking about his work. I'm still searching for several pieces to put in different areas of our house and I think some of Stephen Kasun's work will go perfect in our bedroom.

Our walls are Benjamin Moore's Grey Whisp. Pretty popular -- that Restoration Hardware blue.

Soo.. here's what I'm thinking. Giving that we really can't afford original artwork at this point and time(we have weddings, trips, etc planned for the next few months). I emailed Stephen about ordering two matted prints and plan to hang two of them together vertically.

I know I want this print for sure! Gaston Street Inns -- a real sight in Savannah.

BUT..here's my dilemma.
Which one of these prints? I really like this one because of the story behind it. It's the Sixth Pence restaurant in Savannah. BUT..it's famous for that scene in Julia Robert's Something to Talk About? Remember -- she gets out of the car in her robe to retrieve her hubby from his date with another woman? Cool story and great conversation piece for the house.

OR.. this one. Lafayette Square in Savannah. I think it might look better in a pairing because they're both daylight pictures. It was in one of S-town's other squares, just like this, where Tom Hanks sat with his box of chocolates in Forrest Gump.

What do you think? BTW -- very reasonable for these matted prints. Stephen told me $55 a piece!! I can buy frames for them to go in and BAM! Something cool for our bedroom.
Opinions??

Artwork for Christmas

So, it's not a great picture of the painting but you get the idea.

This is the piece of artwork my future MIL bought me for Christmas. It's a painting of the winery where we had my shower/bachelorette party. Shelton Winery in Dobson, NC.

She said it's important to have memories and that's why she bought it. How nice is that? I'm so very lucky to be marrying into such an awesome family that is laid back and best of all --NO DRAMA!!!

NYE is tomorrow kids! Nothing big planned here. Just a few house parties! I've never been much for going out on the holiday because it's expensive, crowded and obnoxious. Granted I've done it -- in New Orleans, Vegas, Tahoe, Orlando, Atlanta(several times), and here Charlotte. Each time I've done it I've regretted the money I spent.

I would much rather be at someone's house hanging with friends and not having to fight my way to the bar!
CIAO for now!
