hanging around

i took full advantage of some down-time with the fam over the weekend to get my sister and mom to help me hang things on the walls. we hung my ork posters in the dining room and my black and white photos in the living room. i'm so glad to have found perfect fits for things purchased for previous apartments. it's really starting to feel like home!
