Ugh... I've been blogging for about a week now and I've been bothered by the photos I'm posting for one reason!! You know what it is?
Did you guess? It's not our black lab, Astro. In fact, he 'cutes' up the page.
See that sign 'gather' in the back. I hate how it looks. I hated how it looked when I put it up, but was just trying to throw things on the wall to get ready for Thanksgiving as we moved in the Monday before and I wanted it to feel 'homey.' I've hated how it looks when I notice it while watching tv, but then am too lazy to take it down because I'd have to fix the holes and get paint. I've especially hated seeing it in the photos I've taken for the blog.
But today I took action. We had friends stop by and I was sitting on the couch visiting with them in that spot right there with the gray blanket. I kid you not, I could hardly focus on our conversations because that stupid sign was bugging me soooo much! This may seem like a silly blog, but I just wanted to show you all the difference it makes to get it right.
I took the sign down right after our friends left. Ahh... what a relief! But, I felt it wasn't finished. I just needed something a little more in that left-hand corner and I didn't want to move everything around. So I popped the metal word gather off of the white board background and decided to just use it. I really liked how that finished the look.
Don't you think that looks better! And here is a broader view of the room.
Balances the clock much better in my opinion. Anyways, thanks for checking in. Always fun to share ideas and mistakes. That's how we learn... If you have any comments, please let me know.
