The wall

As we push on with our basement renovation, there's little time for much else around here. So sorry for the lack of posts!  Last week, I finally tackled the empty wall in our master bedroom.  The best part (or the laziest part, not quite sure) was that I worked with what I had laying about the house. 

{Pardon the lighting, it was a cloudy day in 'Rado.}

The details:
* I've had the framed photos sitting in my closet forever.  On the left is Hiro from his trip to the Sand Dunes six years ago; on the right is Mr. FC & me at the Devil's Punch Bowl in Oregon 10 years ago.  These were before our digital camera days, and I didn't have the orginal negatives.  So I took them to Kinko's, scanned and enlarged them, and printed them there on photo paper.  They turned out pretty well considering they're scanned images (I adore the bluebird sky evident in both of the photos).

* The "antiqued" mirror was an impulse buy from Home Goods (marked down to $10 due to the smallest chipped corner).  It also waited in my closet for eons.

* Remember my DIY framed lyrics from our wedding? Anyone? Bueller? They finally saw the light of day.

* Manzanita branch courtesy of the fireplace mantel in our LR.  I just tied a nearly invisibile strand of Mr. FC's fishing line around the branches and hung it on a couple of strategically placed nails.  Hmmmm, maybe I'll add an empty frame around the branch.......or spraypaint it a snappy color. What do you think?

* Sadly, no bra on the chair.  It's laundry day.  You know, in case you werere wondering (cough*ahem*Emily*cough).

Thanks for still dropping by this quiet little corner of mine. 
Watch out for the tumbleweeds. =]
