Overcoming my fears in 2010

I'm starting off the new year on the right foot by overcoming one of my biggest fears...hanging pictures on our plaster walls.

It took me four years to figure out what to hang over the couch, so working on a collage of pictures was a big deal for the guest room.

This room is still a work in progress. Hopefully, 2010 is the year of the guest room!!

  2. Our house is so cold that you need to wear a scarf and sometimes a hat.

  3. We were always afraid about hanging our art too until we moved here. The walls are timber vertical join (vj) boards and it is more forgiving. I like the eclectic mix you chose for that room.
