picture this.

On Saturday we followed the suggestions of our PB decorating guru Shelli Holechek and hung pictures.  More specifically, at the end of the day we had hung 37 framed pieces.  By nightfall Mike was traumatized and in the fetal position on the sofa.  The old plaster walls required special screw nails and Mike's drill.  It involved lots of instructions and in his opinion "too many words".  It is absolutely thrilling to have this done.  But I would not recommend asking Mike to hang anything in the near future.

Here is a little sneak peak at some of the finished look!  In total Mike hung two mirrors, three pieces of needlework, nine family holiday letters and twenty three photographs.  The "reading room" was transformed with the addition of all of our kids' photographs.  And the hallway now tells our family history with years of framed Christmas (or in many cases Valentines Day) Letters.

The house feels even more like home.
