Home Improvements!
Well.. since spring is finally on her way and since there will be two fabulous artists joining ARC in early April; Jenna Crowder -a sculptor, designer, and writer and Keith Lane - a photographer and a writer (see links on the side bar), so I have decided to do some home renovations and am re-va va vooming the balconies and guest bedrooms. As possibly all home improvements that are carried out by one's significant other, this means that currently ARC is in a state of dishevellment with putty and paint, taken apart beds waiting to be re-put together and the plants in a temporary home in another room with the Buddha within their leafy circle ;)
