Front Room Completed

I was a little happier with my front room about an hour ago before we hung up the two final items - the big photo of the Nauvoo Temple and the wreath above the TV. Although the temple is level, it's not centered and the wreath is too high. But at this point I'm not really willing to do anything about it.

Besides that, I LOVE MY FRONT ROOM. It didn't turn out how I first thought it would. The sky really never is the limit on these home improvement projects. There is that little inhibitor called the wallet. But I am very pleased at how things came together and Derek and I were able to pick photos of family members and frames and place them on the walls where we both really liked them. I wont bring up the fact that I did all of the work, except in hanging the temple photo, even though this was my birthday present, nor that I used my own personal spending money to buy all of these things - well, I suppose I just did.

Anyway.

The photos I took (please excuse the messy living room - it is Halloween after all) aren't very good. They kind of distort the colors and don't give you a good sense of, well, much. The frames really do look good together - it's just the colors in the photos on the blog - I promise the browns aren't so red and such. But you can get an idea of what has occupying my adult thoughts (thoughts not revolving around my children) for the last month or so.

Sorry about the glare.


I forgot to mention, on the left is a family photo and the Proclamation on the Family and on the left is "The Living Christ" and a painting of the Savior. I'm thinking of putting a potted plant on that little table with the lace doily thing. It just looks kind of lacking.
