Let's Hang Crap on the Walls

If I'm going to stand on a chair and pound nails in the wall for one set of hangings, I might as well do them all.

These look a bit sparse on the wall next to the stove, but I'll get my copper moulds up one of these days. These are cute Miller Studio chalkware pieces I bought Sunday at Thrift World. They were still in their packaging (which I saved, because I'm not stupid). Here's a better look:

 I'm a sucker for cute chalkware. We have a swan in the upstairs hallway, and Danny has an owl (of course) in his room, so it only made sense to purchase these.

 I go bananas for chalkware!

Orange you glad I bought them?


Moving along now...

 These are the "Wee Musicians." I bought them ten years ago, and they sat on a bookshelf waiting for me to hang them. It never happened, so when I unpacked them at the new house I was determined to get them up.

 I put them in a vertical row on the wall next to the thermostat where they are sure to be noticed.

I also put up the scary lions in the bedroom today. Danny says he'll never set foot in that room again. He really hates them. Now I know how to keep him out of our room. Should have put up scary wall art sooner.

It did take me a year to get around to finally hanging something on the freshly-painted white walls, but I guess I feel settled now. I hope the lions don't keep me up at night.
