So we've been unpacking, and unwrapping all the things that we all too recently wrapped and packed up to move. I've decided to not buy anything new for our apartment here in Bloomington, with the small but awesome exception of the
Charley Harper prints I now having hanging in our living room/dining room. Charley Harper is my favorite artist, many of this pieces have to do with animals and wildlife, and these in particular where commissioned by the National Park Service, another favorite of mine. I love them, love them love them--and got them for a great deal at the
U.S. Government Bookstore. (I found them from a tip on
Retro Renovation and hopped on the internet to order straight away.) This is how they look, let me know what you think...

And as always, I like to show a few pictures of the process. Lots of figuring out placement, measuring, and sinking anchors and screws.
We also hung my hubby's Great Aunt's painting above the fireplace. I think it looks great!
Lots of Christmas decor on the shelves and mantles, maybe I'll even go back and take a few pics after Christmas has cleared out and everything is set up "permanently". And speaking of Christmas, one, the JOY decoration on the fireplace was made by my bestie, Kelly, owner of
Petals by the Shore, I just love it! And two, here's an obligatory picture of our Christmas tree.
I really hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
