Perhaps it's the warm weather or the spring showers - or maybe it's the constant parade of house guests - but suddenly I'm itching to get back into interior decorating mode. Sunday afternoon I finished a project that's been in the works for several months. And I couldn't be more happy with it. It all started with a piece of furniture that I was given forever ago when my college room mates got married. I've always loved it's storage capabilities and clean lines, but it needed an update.
Not surprisingly, once I actually shopped for them, they were pretty easy to find and not overly expensive. I even had a few empty frames hanging out around the house that I incorporated. They weren't antique but I liked the more modern ones thrown in the mix too. Turns out when I got the frames on the wall, I fell in love with them au natural. So, I returned the black paint and left them as is. I'm pretty excited about how great the little project turned out. The collage proved to be a simple and inexpensive way to fill the giant space over my newly updated sideboard. Plus, we came in under budget, which makes my handsome husband smile!
And you want to see something crazy? I got on facebook yesterday, only to discover that my cousin in Florida hung an eerily similar arrangement in her entryway! Either great minds think alike or my seemingly creative idea is super unoriginal. Oh well, I still love how it looks and I'm hopeful that this little project will kick start my interest in home decorating! I doubt I'll ever be Donna Reed, but I'm feeling a bit more comfortable in the domestic role. Now, if I can just stop obsessively straightening them every time I walk through the dining room...

I love the silver frame. It really looks balanced and edgy. Good job, Donna,...er...Molly.
