The last time I showed you a picture of our entry, it was in pretty sad shape. Empty frames and of course, that dresser in front of the vent had many of you worried. . . .

I finally got those empty frames filled. I bought the frames from Michaels and ordered custom mats from an Ebay seller. A friend gave me this book for Christmas, which I promptly cut apart for the wall :)
