Everyone is doing it....
Here is my take on
"Our Wall"
Because of my OCD, it wasnt as fun planning the layout as I thought it would be....
#1 - I do not have a stairway wall like I used to
{insert bummer voice here...wa wa waaaa}
#2 - I still do not have all of our "possessions" unpacked
(meaning alot of our framed photos)
#3 - I am NEVER happy with anything when it comes to decorating
(why do you think Martha Stewart keeps buying and decorating new houses?!)
See my layout on our living room floor?
( FYI - I really heart our Pottery Barn area rug that I bought for $100 back in the day...)
That was the final, happy result that I came to.
Or so I thought.
The Stig...
(you can see his foot to the right of the photo)
sat in his chair
for about 1.5 hrs watching me on the floor
arranging.......
rearranging...
sighing.
grunting.
I think he gave me 1 or 2 sideways glances.
You know those glances....
The ones that tell me without speaking
that I look like I am a crazy person.
I took a picture of the final layout
so that I could use it as a reference to start hammering
100 holes into our newly built/drywalled/textured/painted walls.
Oh yeah - this chick thought ahead!
"Uhhh....who suddenly put a thermostat on the wall???!!!"
"What do you mean it has been there this WHOLE time?"
" (#^*%^GRE*^%#$! "
{insert LOTS of sailor words here}
And so the whole process started again!
I used thumbtacks and tape instead of nails - just in case.
As you can see, I have yet to put our own personal photos in.
(Yeah - I wish I had sticks for legs!!)
One day.
One day....so that when strangers come into our house, they will know what the
people that live there look like.
:)
But I am really sorta totally diggin "our wall".
And if you can't see what the vintage word cards say,
they spell out:
"Look"
"at"
"the"
"story"
"of"
"us"
Pretty dang coolio if I do say so myself.
Which,
by the way,
I do.
