Nursery Wall Decor

Don’t Decorate, Curate. Virtual Inspiration For Your Real Home.

Art Wall is an online art gallery curated by Katie Stephenson. I love the way art is displayed here, all rooms are illustrated black and white and enhance the works featured on the wall. There’s a wall arrangement for every room in the house from Entryway to Nursery. What a wonderful idea!

I am proud to announce that my Coney Island Photography pieces will be featured in the new Nursery Decor room that goes live today. So, if you are looking for nursery wall decor, this is a perfect place to start. Katie’s arrangements are so well thought out and all the works go great together.

Travel Photography – Greece

As the vacation season is fast approaching, I find it appropriate to talk about favorite vacation destinations.
My husband and I spent our honey moon in Agios Nikolaos (Saint Nicholas) in the Island of Crete Greece. This place is absolutely gorgeous to say the least. It is a small haven with great food and welcoming people. I would put this destinations on the 100 Places to see before you die list, that’s how much I enjoyed it.

As a photographer, I find it hard not to spend most of my time capturing the essence of the place I am visiting but sometimes you have to find the middle ground and just enjoy the surroundings and the people you’re with. The photograph featured above is the most representative of the Greece series and it gives me a lot of pleasure to be able to share it with you.

Feel free to post links to your favorite vacation destinations.
