Finally, our project is now finished. (Check out previous entry related to this topic:  http://www.chuvaloo.com/?p=5360)

We framed the black and white photographs of the kids. We used a studio wall easel. Less  holes in the wall.  It’s multi-level and very versatile.

We’re currently in the mood to re-decorate. Maybe it’s the weather. Or, maybe it’s because of my husband’s new digital camera & photo printer. LOL!

Well, I figured, I might as well take advantage of his new hobby.

So, to start, we framed the black and white photographs of the kids. We’ll then mount them to a wall easel. This should minimize the holes in the wall. 

This is a studio wall easel. It’s multi-level and very versatile. I believe only www.potterybarn.com carries this type of wall decor/frame.

I was actually inspired by one of my best girls’ wall decor. She framed Jayden’s black and white photos and displayed them on the wall using a floating shelf.

I’ll show a pic of the outcome in my next entry.

This should have been perfect in our foyer. Plus, this piece of lighting is on sale!! The price has dramatically dropped to it’s lowest value (70% off).  I believe there’s a few left at Restoration Hardware (www.restorationhardware.com).

Problem? Well, there’s no way that I can force my husband to install this in that very high ceiling. Yeah, we have one of those giant ladders. Still, he’s not going to do it, and I know that. Nope! Not going to force him. That puke-inducing height is a sure “no, no” for him.

If I hire someone to install it, the cost of labor will be as much as the price of the chandelier (well, almost). It doesn’t make any sense. I’ll pay less for the item, yet, it evens out due to labor.

Well, lucky for whoever’s going to have that lighting. *sigh*
