Happy & Sad

Happy:
I'm pretty particular about what I put on my walls and where; that's why they've been bare for so long. I took these pictures a couple days ago to show you that we finally got some pictures/decor up in our house! It now looks like a home! We love it. :)

Hallway by the laundry

Living Room

Dining/Stair Area

Sad:
Last night, 2 am, Brian leapt from his bed in horror when he heard a huge shattering sound. Running to see what was the matter, he found our lovely temple centerpiece (from the dining/stair area above) fallen to the ground. We don't know why the heavy-duty hook failed, but it bent, allowing the frame to slip. I'm very sad about this unique piece of art that I designed and created myself (with much difficulty and time) and was very pleased with. I loved the subtleness of the etched image on the glass with a golden shining background (some angles you could see it very well and others hardly at all; it was cool). Below is a picture that I had taken when it was in the works. I'm not sure if I plan to salvage the frame and what I'll do to replace this piece, but it may be a blank spot on the wall for a while until I muster up a new idea. :\

No wonder it takes you so long to hang things - it looks great! Must have taken a lot of planning and thinking things through. I think that you'll need to come to my house and put my pictures up (in 10 years when I have a house!)

Sorry about your picture. That stinks, especially that it happened in the middle of the night. Framing things is always SO expensive!
