The Statement Making Non-statement Necklace.Easy Appetizers: Watermelon with Balsamic.Transitioning Your Wardrobe from Summer to Fall.It's Beginning to Feel a lot like Christmas. We may or may not have one or two unpacked boxes shoved in the back of my closet, but I couldn't stand looking at a huge blank wall, so a few months after moving in, I hung a few pictures on this sad, empty wall! It currently looks like this. Now that we've got a really good "before" pic (aka, a really awful photo that makes any improvements I've done look AMAZING) let's take a look at what the wall looks like now. Since these love-seats are smaller and lower to the ground, this means that I have even more wall to work with - if we were to replace the black love-seat with a sofa, this gallery wall might need a bit of adjusting, but since a new sofa is a very distant purchase on the "want" list, I think this gallery wall will be intact for some time. Banishing the idea of a new sofa, my goal is to distract from what I don't like with things I love. If there were a title for my life, it would be called, Making Do With What You've Got - and I have gotten pretty good at it! While I'd love two new sofas (instead of two old, mismatched, and very uncomfortable love-seats) it just is NOT going to happen right now. and this picture does a good job of showing how much empty space there is. The wall behind Kris' sad little love-seat is big. I cringe to even look at this picture, but this is what our living room looked like almost a year ago when we moved in - this was taken just after Christmas, so we'd been there for just about one month by this point.
