Decorating ideas...

Yesterday I mentioned hanging artwork on my boring walls as something I look forward to being able to do once time allows.  Well, part of the "artwork" I was speaking of includes a few of my favorite wedding pictures.  But I'm thinking perhaps I'll group some of the smaller photos with other artwork I've been collecting for the past few years.  I really love collections of oddities...

 



all photos from automatism

Here's a peek of what I've got so far...

Oh how I love this big photograph of Tag!  All of the subtle and soft grays and whites.

I'm thinking of getting a large white frame and hanging him in my gray and white kitchen.

He'd look so dashing and gallant!

Do you see the other things I've got sitting on my living room floor?

Lot's of smaller pieces...I'm thinking a collage of some sort?

Maybe on our large living room wall?



 I'll post the pictures when I actually get crackin on this project.

I'd love to have your input!

Oh and our kitchen is looking marvelous these days.

You will be amazed (as I am) at how far this baby has come since Seth and I first started tearing walls down and ripping trim up.

Before and after pictures to follow!

More wedding photos...

In case you missed the link on facebook, here's a post to direct you to Michael Newsted's blog where you can get a glimpse of a few B&W photos from my wedding.  He was one of my photographers, and seeing his blog makes me SO excited to see more!  Check it out if you'd like.

Can you believe it's been a month since I first said "I do?"

Wowza.

Now I'll tell you what we've been up to! 

Seth and I have been working furiously to get the house in ship shape. 

I've been taking lots of pictures (don't you just love before and after pictures?) to show just how much progress we're making.  This week we are (finally) finishing up a few things...and I'll give you a hint:

a place for me to paint:

 

our basement

 and cook!

the soon to be kitchen

I cannot wait to show you the "after" pictures.  And let me just tell you, all of this cleaning, scrubbing, bleaching, scraping, painting, mudding, and sanding is exhausting.  But well worth it when you see how grand it's going to look!  I have high hopes and many plans in the making...including bright paint, track lighting, big rugs, metal shelving (with wheels!), multiple tables and stools, easels, etc. 

Now, if you are patient with me I'll soon show you the fruits of my labor!

Until then, enjoy your Wednesday and don't forget about my June Giveaway!
