She is an artist.
While we breathe oxygen,
she inhales color.
my pictures do not do her place justice
She lives in the bright house surrounded by golden bamboo.
And flora and fauna of only the brightest colors...she picks sunwarmed mangoes from her tree out front
Her doors are Azure blue...
Art and Heart and soul are everywhere.I imagine they all dance together while she sleeps...
Her simple counters fell into place, perfectly... she watches Orchids and bamboo grow as she washes the dishes.
Tropical leaves splash her walls...
Her cabinets are a soft blue and green stripe,
Her cabinets are a soft blue and green stripe,with a blackboard above...to celebrate life.
She lives in a mid-century house infused with color...
Hollywood faces adorn her wall, while bronze fish make their way through mangroves...
Defined by color...
she displays little pieces of her life, like a mosaic...
Sailboats make their way....
It is a relaxed home. Full of family and living.
and art always finds it's own way upon her walls...
...She is a mother
An artist...
And a friend...
experience her color enriched world here:
Ginny Piech Street, collage and sculpture artist

What an amazing house tour, Linda! I love it. It's so original and unusual.
I was really struck by the blackboard paint on the kitchen soffits--never seen anything like that before. The colors are so fun, and I like the Hollywood pictures on the wall.
Thank you so much for participating in the blog party and showing us this! -Julia :-)
ohhhhhhhh!!!!
YES! Love this home and the art!...my soul is in tropical Mexico, but my physical body is in Northern Colorado :)
Linda this home is fabulous! I love it all. What a gifted artist she is!
Thanks so much for sharing!

and
i keep trying to figure out where you are!
:-)

i am in northern florida
but
yours are tropical shots
which i dearly love!
yes...
south florida girl,
i am guessing...
That is a really beautiful home, it so fun and inviting...I love that fireplace, too, and the kitty on the table, lol, a no-no in my house, but it looks cute there!
I need to go back and check out the kitchen soffits, I missed that.
I will have a tour tomorrow on my blog, please come by and see it...and, lol, yes, why not have the beans for breakfast? I am known to eat dinner leftovers for breakfast, I am really weird that way ;)
Have a great day!

beautiful house! looks just about perfect.
ooooooohhhh, GORGEOUS! I'm currently in dismantle mode for all the bits and pieces at my house, and this makes me want to put everything back up. Really, really, REALLY lovely.
She has a great eye for color and placement, it feels so cozy and homey. I'm so glad to find your blog via Julia's house tour. My urban apartment is the exact opposite of this!
It very artistic. Love all the art and color. Beautiful home!

Holy Cow, Linda! That read like a fanciful poem! I don't know which I enjoyed more, your description or the pictures you were describing!

What a unique, lovely home! I'd be so comfortable there, and the tropics are pretty far from my comfort zone here in New England!
Beautiful! I love all the color. I really like the blackboard paint above the cabinets.
What a lovely, unique, and warm place to live. :)
What a beautifully written post for a beautiful and unique home.
Really beautiful. I love the bright colors and all the unique artwork. Thanks for sharing this tour with us.
What a wonderful house and shown by a great tour guide! Thanks so much for showing this house in your unique way. I'm happy to have found your blog through this tour.
Beautiful home, beautiful descriptions. This home gives me courage to do some "unorthodox" decorating ideas I've been dying to try. Thanks so much for sharing!
Linda - thanks for stopping by - don't know if we've commented to tell you we've been by before - but we LOVE your blog!!
Ginny's house is electric! How fun to live there - the kitchen is fantastic! We love all of the colors....we're color girls you know! So very interesting - and we checked out her website....you can see that her house inspires her artwork - or her artwork inspires her house! We love "A Bird in Hand" - THAT is a cool sculpture!
Thanks for sharing her home!
Karla & Karrie
That was a great tour! It felt like poetry infused with the pictures. Her home is poetry. Your words are poetry. Thank you for sharing.
That was awesome! I love the house
its really unique, but in a really good way.
WOW a purple fireplace. It works !
Thanks for the tour !
What a great home. I love all the color. And the tropical grounds - makes me want to head south!
I'm from FL originally so I totally "get" this house. I love the color and the artsy style. And now I want to go to the Keys :)
Love the tropical leaves on the walls. Fun house.
What a fun tour! So colorful!! And don't you just love houses that are actually "lived in"? And I love what I think is the most creative use of blackboard paint EVER!
Now I'm awake from the beautiful brightness and ready to take on the rest of the Hooked On tour. Stop by mine if you get a chance. :-)
Absolutely beautiful! What a truly inpirational space!
Wow, I'm speechless.
Wow, what a great way to start off the tour! This house is amazing.
Linda,
Wow, was that ever a feast for the soul and spirit.
Beautiful!!!!!

I adore this post - the colors, the writing - I never thought to use the chalk paint in so many places.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! GORGEOUS pictures of a gorgeous house!
WOW, beautiful, just beautiful!! Usually this much color makes me "nervous ~ jittery", but this doesn't, cuz it seems to "flow".

Wow! What a beautiful home! Thanks for the tour.
This house is amazing! I keep going back to this tour to check out the house. Really, I am mesmerized. What a talented decorator/artist the homeowner is, and Linda is a fantastic blogger. You two should collaborate on a fun, funky book of interiors and art!
