After living in our 690 square foot home for 11 years, Paul and I spent last summer living through an extension and remodel. We had the best contractor in the world that finished on time and on budget.
We have taken our time over the course of the last nine months to paint and decorate the house. Opening Paul's new business (www.fearlessfitness.us) in January, slowed our progress a bit, but we finally got the last wall painted.
What I have been looking forward to and dreading all at the same time was hanging our family pictures. With new paint, we decided to replace the frames on our existing pictures and also needed frames for new photos.
I searched the websites of Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Aaron Brothers to see who had the best prices. They were all priced about the same. We decided to go to Aaron Brothers first.
Apparently, Paul had been praying to the "Sales God" all night because every frame that we fell in love with was 50% off. We were able to purchase four 8x10, five 5x7 and ten 4x6 frames for just over $100.
The impact of family photos on the wall is huge. It has added so much warmth, turning our newly remodeled house back into a home.
