I have had the decor from our last house sitting around in places and in boxes for over a year now and I cant decide if I should hang them just to get tired of them being on my walls for 5+years now! I am SO over it and I wish it would just look decent.
Problem #2 since we have been married I have not been a picture framer. I have 1 picture from the wedding of me and my dad in a frame that floats from room to room and 1 picture from our honeymoon that sits in the exact same spot since the week we got home! I have 2 frames that I LOVE set up on some shelves that are still advertising Homegoods signs as I have not even thought about finding a picture to put in them. Joe came across a few pictures of us from college that he has always loved and found frames to put them in and they sit on his bedside table.
It is a sad reality check but I was watching a story about a couple whos 3 children died in a car accident and they showed alll the pictures of their children that they had framed on their walls and how therapeutic they were to look at... I have NO pictures of my children, anywhere! How sad is that!?! I want shrines! I want a wall of family pictures to remind me of wonderful times and cute chubby cheeks that aren't quite as chubby any more. I want to FRAME! So look out Hobby Lobby, I am coming, and I am spending money I don't have to dress my house!

haha! I LOVE IT! You said it so well! But, before you dash off to Hobby Lobby - go to yard sales! Even ugly frames with ugly pictures in them already are only a quarter (sometimes a dollar) and you can buy a can of spray paint to make them all match! LOVE it!
Also, the dollar store has a ton of frames that you can spray paint too.
1. Don't pay full price at hobby lobby for frames. They ALWAYS have sales for 50% off.
2. I have heard good things about dollar store frames spray painted.
If it makes you feel any better we literally only have 3 framed photos in our house-- 1 wedding & 1 of us at age 17. 1 picture of us in the hospital after having Nick and thats it. Considering I just got my wedding album almost 3 years after the fact I have a feeling it will be 10 years till I get around to hanging any pictures but I still keep paying to have them taken :-)
