I finally hung something on our walls!

I wanted something simple and beautiful, but that had a meaning to us.  So, we decided to hang a series of pictures from our honeymoon on the accent wall above the couch.

I love the slightly distressed look of the wood frames and I think that the white mats make the colors in the pictures pop.   I bought the frames and mats on sale at WalMart.  For about $45 we got great inexpensive art!

It took forever and a day to actually get the pictures to hang level with one another, and there’s about 20 holes in the wall behind them.  I think they might be a little too high, but I can’t really put them any lower, or all the holes will show.  Oops!  But oh well, it was all worth it in the end.  I think they look good.

I have been so busy lately! With moving and work and life in general things have been really hectic. But, we are slowly, but surely, getting settled into our new house. It’s starting to feel more and more like home. I’m still rearranging lots of things and trying them out in different places. One room, the living room, is mostly done. The only thing it’s missing is the other panel of the curtains and some pictures of course.

Arranging the living room the way I wanted it was kind of difficult. I had a plan in my head, but we know how those turn out sometimes. Luckily though, we got it!

I absolutely love the rug that my parents bought us as a housewarming gift. I picked it out a long time ago, but when we went to go get it, it was on sale! WooHoo! Luckily we got it when we did, it was the last one.

I’m completely in love with the accent wall. I changed my mind on the color at the last minute, and it turned out great. I think the color goes with the rug perfectly. The wall is just screaming for something huge as the focal point. I just can’t decide yet.

Hopefully soon I will have more to share. Most of our things are unpacked and put away, but it’s far from done. We’ll get there though!
