Home Run
We have been in this house for 4 months now, we have painted 2 out of 4 bedrooms, the kitchen, lounge, the dinner room and entertainment room. I know we still have bathrooms to do but we will get there. Painting is a painful thing, well just slow. Once you set up and then start going it is not too bad. We have finally put up pictures so it is now feeling like a home not a house. If you have never moved you don't really understand what it is like. When you move as many times as i have you would understand the feeling.
Putting up a picture wall is hard work, first you lie them on the ground and spend hours arranging them until you are happy with the layout, Then you start the process of hanging each one up.
I love looking at the photos as they bring back lots of memories, weddings, parties, overseas trips and general shenanigans. But what is a life if we don't have the memories. I can't wait till our next holiday.

Pictures are the best way to personalize a home. As you say, they trigger memories and are nice to look at. You have FOUR bedrooms?! Wow. In New York, you need to be a millionaire to have a house that big. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe just live far from the city ;), we have too much crap for a small place lol
DeleteThis is such a great post, Dale! I am so happy that you and Kim are making your house more "you". Kyle hates painting, and he hates when I want to hang things on the walls because we have plaster walls and they can't hold much. I really love the collage too!
ReplyDeleteI just framed the photo of our crazy asses at dinner from the Weezer cruise, it is in our room next to my blogging desk. I miss you bastards!
Our Walls are plaster, i use wall anchors and they hold up a lot of pictures
