Just call me Bob Villa

I'm so handy it's scary. I used a laser level, tape measure, drill, hammer, and a lot of muscle to complete my wall. And nothing has fallen off yet!Yes, that is a lot of pictures. But I tried to remove a few wedding pictures and replace them with engagement pictures, honeymoon pictures, and Henry pictures. So that makes it less obnoxious, right?

My H found it's spot!

Family wedding pictures, plus our typed up vows on digital scrapbooking paper. Probably my favorite part.
So you likey? If not, too bad. I'm not touching the thing anymore. :)

P.S. The kitchen floors have been grouted. And the final box has been broken down and stored away.

And I can't believe we've only been here three weeks. In some ways it feels like forever.

P.P.S. My mother-in-law outdid herself tonight. We had: turkey breast [think Thanksgiving style], mashed potatoes, gravy, Stovetop stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, fresh rolls, and then homemade apple pie. Freaking ridiculous, I tell you.

  1. Wow, your wall looks great! I have so many pictures and frames that have yet to make it up onto our walls. I think you may have given me that motivation.

  7. We want a funky lighting fixture (i.e. a blue chandelier) for our third floor hallway. Any suggestions of off-beat web sites to check out?

  9. Sierra~Do it! And post pictures.

    Mom~I can't wait for this weekend. I'll be putting you to work asap on some projects:)

    Keri~You too--plan a trip up here so I can delegate projects:)

    Kristal~thank you!

    Nicole~start filling the wedding void now. Get ideas a going so you don't sit around and wallow in the post-wedding blues.

    Ame~now, now. Don't curse me just yet. The wall is somewhat asymmetrical but overall it's balanced out. Or else I couldn't stand it. I suppose I'm turning over a new leaf and embracing imperfections:) Glad you stopped by!

    Hannah~ a blue chandelier? That is very wild, is Michael okay with that? I will brainstorm options for you. I normally don't allow myself to look at fun lighting we can't afford but now I have an excuse.

    Liz~glad you like! I'm a bit obsessed with pictures, too. Obviously.

  11. Thanks for the welcome, Julia! On yet another snowy day last week, I decided to take the plunge. I have been reading your fabulous blog for awhile and have definitely used it as inspiration!

    I love your new photo collage. I especially love the family wedding photos. I can't wait to move into a house to have more wall space so that I can display more photos!
