How to Decorate a Corner

 

After my post on making use out of small spaces, Elizabeth of Little Black Door left a comment sharing how she took a little corner of their home and made it a cozy art gallery.

 

Here’s the space before (complete with a “time-out chair”—well, that is functional, in my opinion!) . . .

 

 

 

And, this is how she transformed this little spot with a cheery pillow, a few accessories and lots of personal photographs and artwork:

 

 

 

I think the idea of hanging artwork corner-to-corner is a great one.  Makes such a big impact in a small spot.

Wanna See My Belly?

 

Yeah, I know.  I never thought that would be one of my post titles, either. . .

 

But, you all have been so supportive and encouraging of our big news, I feel like it’s only fair to show you how the babies are progressing.  (Plus, my parents haven’t seen me since Christmas so this is for them, too.)

I’m growing—everywhere.  (Why does my hair look flame red in this picture?  It’s not.)

 

I think it’s hard to tell from these pictures, but I've “popped” in the last few weeks.  I’ve officially entered into that grunting-while-you-put-on-your-socks-and-shoes phase.  Flip-flop weather will hopefully be here soon.  We saw the babies again this week at my appointment and they were laying horizontally, belly to belly :)
