art for this house

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, and again, and again...I love my house, love. I never in my wildest dreams would've thought I'd get to live in a house that had so many of my "wants" in it. I try not to hold too tightly to this house, realizing its just a thing, and the reality is, if Adam gets a job we will have to leave it behind (I really don't like thinking about this!). For as long as I get to live here and call it "mine" I have a lot of fun day dreaming about all the things I want to do to it over time. I feel like I'm getting off course as to what I'm really getting at. My point is this, this house is fairly good size and there is lots of wall space, and at this point, empty wall space. My house looks like we recently moved in (which, we pretty much did) but it doesn't look very homey yet. I do have some things on the walls, but the hallway is a totally blank canvas, and Brennan's room has a spot that is begging for something to go on it. The guest room remains very blah and our office is a major work in progress. All of this rambling is leading me to this: I saw this piece of art recently and I fell in love with it. My taste is very simple and minimalistic so I like how simple it is, but also, its all about LA and if you've been reading my blog for any length of time you know how much I love LA (after calling it home for 12 years). My only regret (other than the price) of this piece of art is that it doesn't say "Pasadena" on it. Sigh. Oh well, I still love it and am day dreaming about if I could/should get it, and if so, where it will go. :)

I wonder if I could commission someone to paint something similar and add "Pasadena" to it? Thoughts?

Hi Molly:

...I know someone who could reproduce something like this, for "free", if you would like him to...

In Him,

Wow, looks like you have a couple great offers to create something like this all for you! And it'd be an original! You'd be crazy not to take up one of those offers! I like it too, and I love it that you like LA (Pasadena in particular), because that'll keep you coming back, right?!?!

Man, we really do have similar taste! I've been looking at some similar pieces and planning on trying to make one of my own!

What a great piece! If the other offers don't pan out, go on Etsy's alchemy section. I'm certain you can get it done.
