Photo Wall

I hope that you have had the best day to start off your first 2011 work-week!  Let's all try our best to keep this year positive.

I am sure lots of people worked on at home projects, organized a bit and made lists of what they want to tackle for the new year.  Honestly, I did not accomplish as much on my holiday vacation as I had hoped.  Instead, I pretended to be a vegetable and sat around a lot...umm meditating, yes that is it, I was meditating...a lot.

One project that I did finally complete was a photo wall in our house.  I have been working on this on and off again for about three months, give or take.  I just could not decide which pictures I wanted to use...procrastination....I could not decide which wall....procrastination....I could not decide what configuration I wanted the pictures to be displayed in...procrastination.

Finally, I decided that the hallway leading from our mudroom into the kitchen was the most perfect spot.  I can add to the wall or change out the pictures in the future.



I bought some cheap gallery frames from Hobby Lobby, flipped over the paper inside the frame and taped the picture I wanted to display in the center.  I like simple and clean looks.

If you follow tweets, I tweeted a few sneak peaks of a piece of artwork I am finishing for the breakfast nook. I am excited to actually accomplish a few projects that have been on my list for quite some time.

I am ordering a slipcover for the sofa and chair in the living room.  Hopefully, I will have a fabric sample to look at soon.  I also ordered carpet samples from FLOR.  I would love to know if anyone reading this has a slipcover for the Rachel Sofa and how often the wash it and what kind of fabric they have.  Also, I would love to hear from anyone who owns FLOR carpet tiles.



Lots to do this year!
