Hey Yall!
So you should know by now that I am in the big girl world of home-ownership! One of the best perks I'm finding about this is that I can decorate however I want! The sad part is that all my furniture is from college (read: IKEA), and I only had enough to fill the 650ft closet of an apartment I had in Raleigh. Now that my house is 3x bigger then that, I am in some serious need of furniture. But, until I can acquire some new furniture, (don't worry! I've already got pieces in mind!) I decided that the walls would be easy and affordable to decorate.
You'll notice incompletes in the pictures (like, items taped on the walls as place holders for furniture or other pictures) but you can also play a cat version of Where's Waldo and play Spot the Cat. Jack made sure she was in every picture.

So a day of hanging pictures, a sad matt stewart, and a house that's starting to look like a home later, here are some results-in-progress! I thought it was a fun day, and really enjoyed watching matt try to get everything perfect in a house built in 1935. A little note: homes built in 1935 tend to shift and settle over time. So, being 83.25" from the floor on one spot on the wall doesn't necessarily mean it will be level 83.25" 2 ft down the wall. We had to actually (oh god!) hang things by eye and it still looks good!
The best part was after all was done, Matt made us spaghetti, sauce, garlic bread, and sweet tea. After dragging the current dining room table out to the porch, we feasted on our homecooked meal, and agreed that I can't change my mind about where things are hung.
