nesting

Nesting for me usually means finishing up all my half completed household crafting. I am in full swing in preparation for baby Silas. My project last night was a wall in our dining room.



Hubs has laid down a few laws for me to follow:

1. The days of unrestrained purchasing to re-stock our house are gone. Back to the budget. This means it either needs to be really cheap...or free.

This project was really cheap...probably under $10 including photos.

2. No wall holes. Everything is concrete. Hubs drilled one hole and told me 'no more.' Thankfully, I packed some mounting tape...that hasn't fallen off the wall yet. I used teak strips from a local hardware shop, painted them black, and glued clips on to hold the pictures. So maybe I would have preferred a nicely framed large photo....but I stuck to the rules and it fills the space:)

3. Conversational. We have enough trouble thinking of things to say to our neighbors. Home decor should bring a little easy conversing to make up for the fact that I switched the dining room and den....an unheard of change to any asian. They love weddings here. So who wouldn't want to see a few pics of our American wedding day? right?

Happy nesting!
