Projects Galor!!

Project 1. Picture Wall

I for one LOVE pictures, my husband on the other hand... not so much. He views them as clutter. In fact, I doesn't see the point in having pictures up of the kids, or us because.... he sees them everyday. He doesn't see the point of having pictures of distant family on the wall because, if they were closer we would see them more often which means we wouldn't need pictures of them on the wall. He just hates all the "junk" I put on the wall. So i made a deal with him. Eventually he will build me laundry room on the side of the house, which will house my washer/dryer AND craft room. So I'll have my VERY own scrapbooking area. This is to exciting.. i can't describe it. But once the Craft/Landry room is finished, the office will no longer be the WICKED office, it will be the pin up office. Tyler HATES the wicked room (how? i have no idea) and we have a lot of pin up art, posters and I think they would look great being in their own room like an office. Then in order to cut down on the "clutter" in the rest of the house I would remove ALL pictures from the wall, and only use ONE wall for all photos. But I want them to go from Ceiling to floor. I want the frames TOUCHING, I want to see NO wall. I started this tedious task a few weeks ago and BOY is it going to be harder than I thought. I don't have enough pictures to totally fill the wall up yet, but that will come with time. But I cant tell you how difficult it is to get them all flowing, and all the frames touching. Here are pictures of what I have so far. I am going to be painting this wall so It will become closer together and less slanty in the future.

It's a start, and eventually the TV will move, as well as the children's desk.

I want all those gaps to close up.Project 2. Picture boxes
I got this idea from my bestie who got it from......?? Now I don't have the same type of box that the original idea came from. I was having a hard time finding that box so I improvised.
For Presley's birthday she got some Wooden paper dolls, and for Christmas the girls got some wooden paper dolls (the kind that you dress up) So i decided to use those boxes instead. I took down some of the unwanted frames and put the pictures in these instead.They aren't completed yet, but they are on their way. Things will change, I'll add some embellishments and hopefully fancy it up a bit. I'm excited for them to be completed!

Project 3. Paint, Paint, and MORE paint.
I LOVE color!! When we first moved in I painted just about every room with some sort of color, and now that I've lived here for a while, I have grown to hate some of the color I chose, and feel the need to put color on walls that I other wise just painted white.
The living room is a mesh of colors, and I am going to be toning it down a bit. I'm going to change my blue walls to green, and my striped wall that at first i would NEVER admit to hating will also go green with a different striping effect. the girls room is SO boring, and I think it's really starting to bother Grace, so I have a BIG project to happen in there. Mine and Tyler's room is also boring and must be jazzed up abit. I'm thinking yellow. If you ever watch Private Practise you may have seen inside of Addison's bedroom. It's two different shades of yellow in a striped pattern. It's BEAUTIFUL. All accessories are cream and it's so stunning.

Project 4. Scrapbook for dad.
I have a bunch of pictures from my childhood that i'm goig to put into an album for my dad. I ment to have this done by christmas but... it didn't happen. I'm going away this weekend for a scrapbooking girls weekend and i'm PRAYING that I get it done. but who knows.. no kids, no hubby, just gals and food? I may drink and relax to much that I get hardly anything done.

Project 5. Surprise for Bestie
I have something I NEED to get done before I see my best friend this weekend. I can't discuse it because she reads this.. but it's another project i MUST MUST get finished soon!
