A Little More Like Home

    As you've all read by now, my first resolution for the year was to make my new place feel a little more like home, and I've been getting there gradually, even if slowly. As I alluded to in my recent goal check-in though, I completed a pretty fun project in my bedroom (see above).

    I didn't take any "before" or "during" pictures, but this was a fairly simple project. I happened to be in one of my favorite consignment/antique shops a few weeks ago, and they were having a huge sale on frames and prints. The prints were pretty ugly, of course, but all of the frames were gorgeous, so I ended up buying the five you see here. They were $5.00 each --each! Can you believe it?

    Step two was to find something to put in them. I thought about printing some photographs to size and using those, but thank goodness I stopped by Paper Source for a bridal shower card. I saw these brightly colored papers and was actually able to buy them by the roll to make them a little more fiscally responsible. I took them home, cut the paper to fit each frame, and then arranged them (on the floor first before hanging them on the wall). I even hung them myself just by eye-balling. It's a little eclectic anyway so I didn't worry too much about them all being "level" or "centered."

    Voilà! Now I really can have sweet dreams in my bedroom!
