Here's that picture I promised from the sewing room re-do. It's my absolute favorite corner of the room. . .
The woven seagrass chair was found on sale
at World Market a couple of years ago, while the storage cabinet with woven front (being used as a side table) came from Hobby Lobby. Animal print accessories are leftovers from Hannah's high school girl space and makes me think of how much I love her. Even though she has left our home to make her own, she will always be in the home of my heart. The tall cabinet to the left (you can hardly see it) belonged to my Grandma Hannah, an early sewing influence in my life. Her cabinet is now a storage space for fabric.
The framed print on the wall was painted by our former pastor, Dick Moody. It was a piece he donated for reproduction and sale to support fundraising efforts for mission work in Texas. A cool thing about it is how he hid religious symbols all throughout the painting. An even cooler thing is it's a great example of how art can be used for good.
I believe that art used for good is really good art (...and you can quote me on that!)
The Pondering Palette: Where is the last place you saw art being used for good? I'd love to hear about it.
