Conquering the To-Do List

Well, not so much "conquer" as "scratch off one item": rearrange the bedroom wall decorations into something more presentable. This process was assisted by the generous stocking stuffer gift from my parents, which is now the central framed print. (Kathy--it's beautiful! Thanks for making such a wonderful work of art!)



This process was also aided by the purchase of the metal bee ($2.50!). It was found on a recent trip to an unfinished furniture store while looking for another project that we don't have enough time for. The remaining framed objects are prints from J's hometown, a print of a sketch my mom's friend made (the house is my childhood piano teacher's), a doily I crocheted a few years ago, and a random print thrown in because it matches the general style.

The grouping concept may be getting a little tired, however, and at least in my house, it's looks like I appear to be obsessed order and symmetry. But really, I'm not.

Bedroom, North wall

Bedroom, South Wall

Obsessed? Who me?
Dining room, North wall

Living room, East wall

I swear, not obsessed!
Bathroom

Well, maybe a little. Plus a healthy dose of trying to incorporate the small scale things that I loved that I collected while on a grad student budget with the larger scale of the new house. But I think the grouping 5"x7"s is tired, in the future, I think I should resist the obvious but worn-out solution to the scale problem.
