At-Home Art Gala
Hi friends! It's Friiiiday! Woot!
I'm happy that the week has come to a close, but also feeling incredibly exhausted. This weekend is baking weekend with my mom which I'm pretty psyched about!
Last night, Shaun and I attended a party in our building.
It was an art gala, set up in the lobby and entry halls. Our building is a converted factory, with half of the complex still untouched from the industrial days of yore. The gala featured a photography exhibition, in which the artist captured some truly amazing photos of the unrestored parts of the building.
Our front desk area was turned into a bar...
And we ate lots of delicious finger food (like mini burgers, meatballs and baby quiche). I am not really into art so much, but I could have easily walked away with a piece last night.
I really adored the industrial vibe, the muted yet vibrant colors and the fact that the art is taken from a piece of our first home. The exhibit is up until next year, so I suppose I have some time to decide....:)
The very best part about the party was the 'ride' home...aka, walking down the hall! Shaun and I came home and fell asleep watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. All in all, not too shabby for a Thursday, right?
So that's all I have for you this morning :) I hope you have a fantastic Friday and rest of your weekend!
Questions of the Day:
Are you an 'art' person? I'm not, but Shaun is!
What are your plans for the weekend?
