Once I go through the trouble of banging a nail into the wall or some other way of hanging something up, it has to stay there for at least 5 years!! LOL.

Much to the chagrin of my mother in law, sisters in law, and husband. but it's okay. the thing is.. only pick things you love. you must love them. if not put them away. Everything on my walls I love. Hence I am happy. good luck.. i know of no such thing as wall party blogs.. try Houzz and look at magazines.. I love to go to barnes and just leaf through design magazines looking at the one thing on my mind.. <br />best of luck.. xo marlisMarlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965220365912256742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-45309592630928609222011-09-08T17:35:53.071-04:002011-09-08T17:35:53.071-04:00Debbie, I like your hutzpah!

(I know - that didn't sound right, but you know what I mean).<br /><br />I can hardly wait to see the wonders of your creativity. I'm not sure that I can be of too much help - I'm mostly just a picture-hanger-upper. But I have a wicked eye for *level* - have any use for that?<br /><br />My husband and I always disagree about how to arrange our wall stuff. He likes symmetry, and having everything line up at the top. I like *groupings* at varying levels for eye interest. I usually get my way - and he usually likes what I've done afterwards.<br /><br />Fortunately, he's a real stickler for *level* too...<br /><br />So glad that you're feeling better. And maybe a new look on the walls will help cheer up your inside, too!<br /><br />xoSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-22762319638579115242011-09-08T13:59:42.136-04:002011-09-08T13:59:42.136-04:00Hi Debbie,

I guess they'll get rid of the gators at my in-laws' place when the golfers start disappearing ;) I'm glad you're feeling the positive effects of the power of prayer. It is a wonderful thing.<br /><br />Well, I'm so glad you shared this link from Laura Ingalls Gunn. I think a lot of us are in the same boat with our houses right now. I also have had too much time to stare at my house and find things that need to be fixed or changed. But as Laura said in her post, I'm grateful to have a home and not be living on the streets.<br /><br />Never the less, I'm trying to get motivated to do what I can right now until we can afford to do more. I think Laura's linky party is a great idea. You asked for suggestions about your walls, and I noticed you got lots of great suggestions from other bloggers. Don't know if this helps, but if you have a bookstore like Barnes and Noble nearby, sometimes we go on a Friday or Saturday evening, and I just get several decorating books and/or magazines and look through in the store to get ideas. I just got a Pinterest account, but I can't figure out how to use it (I'm so low-tech). Anyway, I just purchased six botanical prints from e-bay at a GREAT price. I've been wanting some for over a year now. I'm planning to do a grouping of those on one of my walls as soon as I can get them framed. I probably won't do custom framing because of the cost. Botanicals are really popular right now, but they're not trendy. In my opinion, they're kind of classic (like toile) and they'll always be in fashion. So that's just one idea. Hope it helps.<br /><br />So glad you're feeling better.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2011/09/beach-and-end-of-summer.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-1714768287822106342011-09-08T13:42:51.916-04:002011-09-08T13:42:51.916-04:00I have no doubt you will succeed, girlfriend!I have no doubt you will succeed, girlfriend!Dayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-24152324179506182892011-09-08T12:30:12.200-04:002011-09-08T12:30:12.200-04:00I know staring at the glass half empty feeling...i...I know staring at the glass half empty feeling...it is not easy.

She is really good at it. I am horrible. I'm also really bad at not hanging ANYTHING in a room until I have everything I want to hang. I don't want to move anything and leave nail holes in my walls just because I have something new I want to hang and have to move everything else to fit it in. Ya know? I've lived in this house for 8 years this month, and only one of my bedroom walls has something hanging on it. Sad, but true. Although, I did hang that one wall all by myself. <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do.

If I love what I see elsewhere and am inspired by it, I have copied it. <br />D. See B.<br />E. You get this letter for effort.<br /><br />I am still awaiting my 20-foot container, coming to me via the China Sea from Guam to Manila where I just relocated with my husband of thirty years. I've made some costly deco errors and learned many lessons in my life.<br /><br />We just leased a townhouse with three flights of stairs. Wasn't our first choice but we told God to shut all the doors to where we weren't supposed to live. Girl, we didn't even get to look through so much as a WINDOW much less any other door except this townhouse (figuratively speaking). So, with this, our 20th move in three decades, my list is LOOOONG, too, and baby steps is THE name of this game. <br /><br />Psalm 90:17 is my life verse. It applies to everything I'll do in making this townhouse a home! My first step is to dream of the lives I will bless in this place. My next step is to smile... or perhaps those steps are backwards?Mrs. Kelley Dibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192189624517973551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-54567136163921616652011-09-08T00:38:21.974-04:002011-09-08T00:38:21.974-04:00Wow, a big project!
