You be the Anchor...

I'm still plugging along with our living room. It's taking a little longer then I thought it was to put things together but I'm loving it so far.  I think I'm going to make curtains for in here. It's so hard to find the right ones at a reasonable price so I'm just going to tackle it myself. I have literally nothing else going on right now.
Ugh - the life of the unemployed.

Anyways, weird rant there. I wanted to show off our gallery wall we put together.





















I tried editing these pictures so that you could see them better (it was sunny that day) and I think I might have made them worse. Oh well, it'll be awhile before I take on the art of photo editing.


I love how it turned out. :)

We used a new trick I found on Pinterest to help with the hanging. We marked where all the pictures went on wax paper first, hung it, drilled nails for all of them and then pulled the wax paper off.












So easy. 

I'm planning on getting a sideboard for the wall with the sunburst mirror to break it up a little.

Here's a close up.  




A new anchor print that I adore. In navy and coral to match perfectly. This print is actually what made me want the colors for the whole room in the first place. :)



My brother in law Myles, gave Ross and I this wood carving of the Boston Temple that he had carved in Romania. And then my heart print that I mentioned here. Hard to see it in both pictures! Along with a couple of other prints to complete the wall. (Our Sealing Certificate, a picture of our wedding and us outside the Temple)


I couldn't get Med out of the camera's view. I think he was born to be a movie star. My handsome guy.



So that's where I'm at with the living room. The office is coming along and I think it might be my favorite room when it's done. Although Ross keeps insisting that it's HIS office.

We'll see.
