The lyrical abstraction of Sarah Giannobile‘s artwork is entrancing. I could seriously stare for a long, long time at Carnival Wheel in Paris. The muted color palette and the geometric patterns are so right up my alley. But I also think that I subconsciously chose this ferris wheel for today’s post due to the ride that I am currently on called life. Here’s what’s up… today we are moving out of our rental house where we’ve been living for the last year while gut rehabbing a beautiful old house into the home we hope to live in for the next 40+ years. Moving out of the rental would be a really good thing if, in fact, we were moving into our finished home. Alas, we are moving out because we must make way for its rightful owners who are moving back in, but our final destination is still about a month away from completion. Not able to find a suitable rental house that is furnished (turns out there lots of options for college kids here in Ann Arbor, but I have no desire to relive the glory days with two kids in tow!) we have opted to stay at a lovely B & B for 30 days. Less than ideal, yes. Loss of privacy, yes. But it’s really cozy and very clean (ie – no moldy beer bongs lurking in closets) and the plus side is that I won’t have to make breakfast for a whole month. I’m trying very hard to be “glass is half full” about this – is it obvious?!
Whatever. Enough whining out of me! How was your weekend? And what do you think of this crazy cool Carnival Wheel in Paris?
and you are doing really well…but it’s bad timing and very disruptive… :( but honestly, the month will fly by and you will be so busy getting everything ready for your ultimate move! xoxo
Ah – thanks, Jenny. Your words are calming to me! xoxo
Oh Krista, that is crazy. Well plus side of probably having some good breakfasts made and hopefully the next month goes very quickly. You’ll look back on it in the future and laugh (hopefully).
I really want to use this as inspiration for a young girl’s room – maybe even my daughter’s room one day. The color and pattern and whimsy is so fun and really different. I’m really drawn to things that are different and that you don’t see everyday. I’m headed over to check out Sarah’s work some more. Hope you had a great weekend!
I will definitely laugh about it some day – in fact, I’m already kind of chuckling about it now. There’s really no other way to deal with it, is there?! I’m so glad you love Carnival Wheel, Holly! Let me know what else you find from Sarah. She’s talented, so there’s a lot to look at and love in her Etsy shop! xoxo
Are you not just amazed at the talent of some people. The detail of her art is astounding! Love the post and hats off to you, Michael and the kids for plowing through with smiles the month ahead of you!
