Dining Room

The cabinets are ordered and I am working on the rest of the house. I went to school for typography and have worked with typefaces for 25 years so I LOVE putting words on my walls. First wall (dining room) is done.

I always wanted the old fashioned fork & spoon on my wall. Jeff never understood. LUCKILY he takes business trips and leaves me with an allowance!

  1. Looks awesome!

    I've always wanted to put words on my wall as well (especially in my office). Where did you find them or were you able to create them yourself?

  2. This is amazingly creative, but why am I not surprised~! It's lovely and unique, wherever did you find the big spoon and fork?

  3. I bought the words at www.lacybella.com. You can choose the size and color. It comes on one sheet and you rub it on the wall. Very easy. The office would be a great place to put something up that would inspire you.

    The fork and spoon I bought at Pier 1. They even have a knife and spatula, I didn't want to get carried away though. I was looking for wood ones but these are more fun.

    Thanks for the compliments!

  4. My question is how did you get all of the pictures hung so straight? Everytime I attempt to do that they are all over the place and the wall behind the pictures looks like Swiss Cheese!

  5. The frames are from a kit that we bought for our old house. We had them going up the stairs. They give you a huge guide to tape to the wall and tell you exactly where to put the nail. However, we didn't have it any longer so I did a lot of measuring. And yes there are about 20 wrong holes under the frames. It took HOURS to get it right.
