Hanging with the Kids

What a fun weekend I had!  Ellen came up to the cabin, oops, our house, to help me sort through the pictures/art that moved from the condo and hlep figure out if there was a good place for each item in their new home.  It was fun to get a younger, fresher perspective on where to put stuff, and what stuff to combine in a group.  If you have ever seen her house, you know that she knows of what she speaks.  Fun and quirky.  Colorful and sweet.  She had to go back today, so I went it alone on the picture wall.  I wanted to do something a bit different than my Pottery-Barn-shelve- with-pictures that I had at the condo.  I saw this idea on the internet and thought that it was something I would like to try to duplicate.  A coupled of the frames may need "tweaked" a bit.  But I think I am going to leave it as is for a while.  This is just the beginning of the long hall that leads to the new bedrooms and bath and stairway to "heaven".  Lots of walls to fill up with black frames.  I guess it was a fitting Mother's Day project to tackle: having fun looking through pictures of all the kids and grandkids and giving the photos a new place to hang.  Jerilynn
