The Missing Piece

Thanks for taking a little break from food prepping and table setting to catch up!  I wanted to share a quick little art update that I made this weekend to my picture collage wall.  You can read about creating the wall here.  I had bought 2 wooden state puzzle pieces at one of my favorite vintage stores, just because they were so sentimental and sweet.  See I grew-up in Illinois, and got married in Indiana.  So when I saw these little guys, I had to have them.  

Tale of 2 Picture Collages

Family photos are such wonderful, personal home decor.  And because many of us have an array of meaningful photos already, this can be an inexpensive project.   I am always inspired by great photo collages, and have wanted to include one in my home.  But the perceived amount of work that they require, has stopped me from tacking this project. Recently, two of my favorite bloggers, John and Sherry, from Young House Love, chronicled their "wallpaper of photos" project...and of course it looked fabulous.  That was enough to finally motivate me to get to work!

Finding a Spot

Many of the walls in my house are already occupied, so I didn't have a whole lot of choices.  I finally settled for the sun room. Let me set the scene for you, with a very elementary line drawing of the space.  As you can see, this room has three double doors across the back wall.  These three doors create two matching wall spaces, which would be perfect for 2 picture collages.
