Domesticity

We've not lived together since 2004. But it was after I "went nomadic" (emphasis on mad) in 2010 that Michelle began making changes.

Recently, she painted the living room walls (yellow and pale blue) and added the leaf pattern. Previously scattered throughout, she brought some of her pictures together in this salon-style hanging.

We usually disassemble the Xmas tree in March.

That's Trixie's "food station" on the right end of the couch. The green blanket is an heirloom from her Grandmother's estate. The portrait of Trixie on the back of the couch (in the center) was a gift from a cousin Michelle and her brother Steve visited a few years ago. She is an illustrator and cellist.
The background of the painting is, as befitting a cat, gold leaf.
