Waterlogue Rehab...

I am so not one of those "Happy Monday" people or those "do you have a case of the Monday's" people... so let's just cut right to the chase in the hopes of getting this week moving already!

As usual I caved to the blog and Instagram hype of the Waterlogue app.  If I were a 16 year old girl or James Earl Jones in a Sprint commercial, I'd say it's totes amaze!  I've almost if not for sure waterlogued (yep, I think it will quickly become a verb) every picture in my phone.

Seriously, how could I not...

I took this one at Arlington National Cemetery before the holiday when my sister and I participated in their annual wreath laying.  I highly recommend this if you live in the DC metro area as a tradition on your holiday list, btw!  It's a sadly beautiful experience.  The waterlogued picture turned out amazing!

I took this one last summer in the NYC on 5th Ave.  That first building with the black and white was the Louis Vuitton store and with the cab and the 5th Ave sign sticking out, it made for an awesome picture. And even more awesome in watercolor form! 

So this one is a picture from the real estate listing of my first home that I just recently sold.  My agent had professional photos taken and they were amazing.  And as most first homes do, it holds a very special place in my heart even though I moved on to bigger and better.  I poured every ounce of design, remodeling and styling I had in my little heart on this little place. So it's only proper that it gets made into a water color to hang in my new house and every future new house. 

And my favorite waterlogued picture is this one.  I am so in love, I almost want to blow it up to a mural.  It's from Little Italy in Baltimore when my mom, sister and I went for a summer festival. I fell in love with this little section of Baltimore and it's cute duplexes with fences and even fire hydrants painted in green, white and red like the Italian flag.  Our Italian blood runs very deep, so we had a blast walking around this little neighborhood with the short, chubby, Italian grandmas who could pass for any woman over 65 in my family, passing us cookies and canoloi's, big heaping spoonfuls of ravioli and meatball subs and of course the kind smiles and love only an Italian grandma or aunt can give!  So this one will be printed and hung for sure!

Seriously, you have to buy this app right now.  It's the best $3 on an app you will ever spend.  I will even send you $3 back if you hate it.  Ok, I won't but that's how much I love this app.  Whoever created it is on my genius list with the fine folks at Starburst who created the FlavorReds bag. :)
