Big Blank Wall

Remember this?

No, not the couch. The big blank walk behind the couch.

Filling that wall was a long thought out process...

A lot of different art pieces were considered.

Even more frames were brought home and tested out in arrangements. (I am queen of returns.)

These are the ones that made the cut.

And after my "test products" hanging on the wall for weeks, I finally let Aaron put the nails in.**


I am happy with it!
I wanted something a little different. But I have to have some symmetry.
I'm not even going to paint that one black frame. I know, I live on the wild side. ;)
Gosh, I am SO glad that I hung onto that unfinished Family Tree for so long. I came so close to not keeping it after it sat unfinished for many, many months.
How fun it was to complete it and see how pretty it is all framed.

Each of those leaves has a name on it.


We grew peanuts in our garden. They were definitely the one thing that thrived this year.



Emily and her boyfriend/future husband. Or so she says :)
Carter just loves having her for company when Olivia's at school.




**Yes, I have issues with putting holes in my the walls of our house if it's not to hang something that I really, really like/love. So sue me :)
