Gallery Wall
I adore our wedding pictures. I think our photographer did such an awesome job. They look like they belong in an art gallery, which is why I'm creating a gallery wall in our living room. I've started collecting frames and printing pictures little by little. This evening, my handy husband helped me hang what we have so far. This is not a finished product, but I love it so much that I wanted to share it. So here is the beginning of our gallery wall, with more pictures to come as it expands.
Welcome home, gift wrap!
Our home is overloaded with gift bags, tissue paper, bows and wrapping paper since the wedding. I did some research on the web and found some beautiful "gift wrap stations" which I would love to have. However, I do not have the space for that in our cozy apartment. We do have an enormous basement that is not pretty finished, but is perfect for storage. So I took an existing shelf and turned it into our own gift wrap organizational center. It didn't take much: a few nails, hangers, and lots of time sorting and folding tissue paper.

So there you have it. It's not ideal, it's not gorgeous, but it is organized and handy. We finally have a place for all of our gift wrap.
