Gallery wall, chevrons, and baby appts.

We have been busy around here. I finally finished the living room. Decided on a gray, cement, and off white color pallet. Did I mention the yellow/gray color pallet fail? No? It was ugly! I need some new accent pieces such as lamps, pillows, and a throw rug and then I'm done. Well...I do want a bigger tv with some type of mantle and the tv mounted to the wall. But it's not in the budget for a while.

I ordered some wedding prints for the house. Since we never did an album I figured some prints on canvas and a stair gallery wall would be nice. 4 canvas prints will go in the living rooms. The rest were hung up on the stair case. I was poking around hobby lobby and the frames were supposed to be 50% off, well not the ones I wanted apparently. And since I decided to go BSC with the number of gallery wall prints, those effing frames would have cost me about 200.00 sigh! Since I spent about 80 on the prints I don't think a 300.00 gallery wall was appropriate. Anywho I found those acrylic frames and got all I needed for 40.00! sweet! Well guess what, I fricken hate them. They bubble, look tacky, and cheap. So I went rooting around the house for frames. Since I mostly have black, I replaced what i could and hung up the rest. In time I will replace them. And by in time I mean in the next week or so. I am not the type of person who starts something and could not finish.

And lastly, but most def not least, we have had several baby appts. We are growing right on track at 13 weeks 1 day, as of today. I haven't been sick, or anything wacky related to being pregnant. Also I made it out of the first tri without gaining a pound. Whoot whoot. 2 more trimesters to keep my weight from going bananas. All that being said, I haven't worked out in like 2 weeks. It's sad but I've spent most of my free time doing house projects, so that's gotta count for something right?

Also I ordered a stationery program. Friggen totally excited!
