Hanging Pictures

I promised myself that when we moved, I would make sure that everything had a place. Right?!? I wasn't going to just "stick something in a drawer." If I couldn't find a proper place for it, then I didn't need it.

So, on September 1 we will have been our house for two months. I am still trying to find proper places. I haven't hung up many pictures. I don't want to just stick pictures on the wall. I want them to be hung there because I love them, and they are perfect. I think this is becoming a phobia - I can't find the "perfect place" so I don't hang anything at all. Maybe I should Google some therapy.

Anyway, this is what I have hung so far. An artist that I found on the Internet did the picture in 2006 to commemorate the birth of Alexandra. She was very honored when I asked her do a second picture after Christian was born. These two pictures are on the top of my list of "what to grab in case we must evacuate for a hurricane."


BTW, here is a picture of what the foyer looked like before...

We painted the wood white, took down the wallpaper and replaced the chandelier. I need to get a better picture of the after from this same vantage point.
