More House Pictures

Are you sick of house pictures yet?

We did some more organizing and decorating yesterday.

Here's my office with wall hangings.  I'm proud of it because I followed what I like ... not necessary how it "should" go ... I debated for a week over the decision.  I know it's right for ME since it feels good.  MORE on the big wall and LESS on the little wall -- but it didn't feel right ... reversing it felt better.

Big wall, one small mirror.
I'll hang something from the hooks eventually.

Picture grouping behind the desk.
I like the second row hung low.

We hung pictures in a few rooms and I did the same thing.  Bucking my NORMAL way of hanging and going with something different.  It makes me HAPPY.

I also worked on the family room shelves.  I was going to wait until the furniture came, but since I can easily change it, I thought I'd play around.

Goal (for this arrangement) -- only use stuff I own ... no buying ANYTHING.  Most of the things are family pieces, family pictures, books from my childhood or things that have special memories.  At first I wanted minimal decor, but since I want to USE my things (not store them) I did a layered look instead.

Missing something ...

Added fake flowers from another arrangement I'm not using.
Picture is later in day, so lighting is off.
Not sure about ones on the right side.
I like the single flower on the left though.

In other news ...

Our potential new neighbor stood us up for a visit.  I had a feeling.  I cleaned everything but the wood floors so that's on the list today.  Since Duke and I ran outside, I started late and couldn't fit everything before I needed to shower (for a visit that never happened - ugh).  Annoying that he didn't show up, but might have been a communication issue.  I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt (but fool me once...)

My girlfriend is coming to see the house today and we're trying a local place for lunch.  I'm glad I moved our lunch day back from Wednesday.  I feel more myself and can enjoy the afternoon without wanting to be somewhere else.

Powersheet daily goals list is helping me stay on track -- should've used it sooner, who knew.  I LOVE to check a box.  I started to justify a night snack and remembered I couldn't check-the-box if I did -- if only every night was that simple.

The weekend is here.  Happy Friday.  Later gators.
