New Decor!

So, I don't normally post twice in the same day, but Darrell and I got some new wall decor earlier this week and I'm so excited by how it looks that I couldn't wait to share.

Here's a close-up of the quote:

I'm in love! I saw this quote a few years ago and just fell in love it with, especially considering the "unexpectedness" of a North Carolinian getting transplanted to South Dakota. I've been wanting to find some way to incorporate it into our house, and when I saw it on one of those vinyl wall-quotes sites, I knew I had to have it. Darrell wasn't too thrilled at first because he doesn't want people to feel like they are in a library with all the "reading" they have to do in our house (we have another wall quote above our kitchen table: "The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table". He also limits the number of pictures I'm allowed to put up on the walls because he doesn't want people to feel like they are in a museum), but with some charm and puppy dog eyes he agreed to let me buy it. And then he even hung it for me. At ten-thirty last night. He really must love me (or, as he says "It's a good thing you're so darn cute"). Either way, I have a pretty great husband and an excellent reason to smile every time I walk in the house!
