Bedroom Updates

One of the things I've been slacking on in the 10 months we've been living here is getting any sort of art up on the walls. I'm not sure why...we have a lot of photos/art to hang up, but somehow committing has been a bit of a problem.

I knew we needed something more in the master bedroom to add some interest...and to hopefully make the walls look a little more grey vs. blue, and I was hoping black and white wedding pictures would be just the thing to do it.

First, however, we replaced the tall bookshelf with two shorter bookshelves (the tall one seemed to make the room unbalanced, and fit nicely in our living room for dvd storage).

We started out thinking we would put the two shorter bookshelves right where the old one was, and the photo collage would go above it.

The problem with that was, it prevented us from opening our bedroom door all the way...

So instead we decided on putting a shelf on each side of the window...

and a photo collage above each. I'm really liking how they both turned out, even though I've been struggling to take an acceptable picture of it. Here's the best I have right now:

And for kicks, a totally dark photo of the whole thing:

 But you get the idea.

Now hopefully I'll feel motivated to put up photos in other areas of the house...right after I finish the newest Sookie book.
