Nailed It
Thanks to some strategically placed nails, we finally got our little guest bedroom frame project up on that blank wall. And we were pretty happy with the result:
But from the moment we got the last frame hung we knew we wanted more. So, as you probably guessed, we darted out to Target one more time to pick up a few more frames.
Once home, I barely had time to put down my keys before Sherry had four new frames beautifully arranged on the wall. (She later admitted to creating some trial-and-error nail holes behind some of the frames in the process). Hopefully you’ll agree it looks much better with the new additions.
And what’s in those new frames? Well, we went with the “history” theme established by that vintage Richmond map and decided to dig up some old family photos. Here’s a close up:
Those two 8×10 frames feature baby portraits of Sherry and I (both with our big mouths wide open). One of the 5×7 has a pic of my momma walking my chubby baby body down the beach, and the other has the coolest b&w pic of Sherry’s dad from 1964.
We’re totally digging the growing wall of frames, and now we’re both itching to COMPLETELY fill the wall up over time… so I guess there will be more updates to come as we continue to do just that.

So glad you guys like the pics. We’re usually such balanced, symmetrical people when it comes to framing, but just using frames in the same color really unifies an asymmetrical arrangement- and it’s really fresh and interesting, your eyes never stop moving around from one picture to the next. Stay tuned for updates as we slowly add more and more items to our new “gallery”.

Altho I didn’t get this idea here (it magically appeared in my head) I thought I would share this idea to the next level. Pix on my webpage.
You have such a lovely house. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate you sharing what you’ve done. It’s inspiring, and it makes me smile. May you two find as much happiness as you’ve brought to others. Be well!
Hey Daria,
We got ours for $15 at a home and garden show. Here’s the post all about it: http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/02/metamorphosis/
