SLOWLY BUT SURELY

Remember this vintage school map I got a Scott's Antique Market back in February? 
A couple of weeks ago, I finally got around to hanging it.  
My original intent was to hang it in our playroom on the third floor. 
While lounging on the couch one evening, I had a change of heart. 


So I hung it here, in the family room. 


Right behind the table where my children often sit to do their homework. 


The colors are perfect for this room and I love the fun vibe it brings to the space. 


A small gallery wall filled with my kids' pre-school art previously occupied this wall space.
I moved a few of them to the mudroom.


I found this Etsy store with quite a few vintage maps for sale in case you're on the hunt. 
  Speaking of maps, I also got around to hanging the Kentucky map I had framed.
I'll show you soon.

Now that I have several PTO projects off my plate, I'll be concentrating on more projects around here.
My son is making his first communion in two weeks and we are having a party to celebrate.
Having a party is the perfect way to get things marked off the "To Do List".  Don't you agree?

  6. I love the way that map looks there - it's perfect! Did you get that rug from Overstock? We have what appears to be the same one in our dining room too and I really like it.
