Ode to Milton

[Heidi & Milton]

This post is a bit late today due to poor cell phone Internet connectivity at 5:30A.M. this morning...absolute horrors!

Anyway, one of the best parts about moving into a house is the decorating aspect of it all.  At times it can be frustrating because I obviously want everything to be finished immediately and picture perfect, but it takes time if you want everything just right.  One decorating feat that I am particularly proud of is this:

Ta daaaa!  What do you think?

I thought it would be nice to have a little family picture wall starting with a wedding photograph of Jeff and me surrounded by some of Milton's most memorable photographs.  I think it turned out well as an "Ode to Milton"; Jeff thinks it looks more like a shrine...!  In case you are wondering, yes, that is an old telephone stand in our hallway.  It lends a little bit of charm.

On another note, here is Milton lying on our brand new rug.  Jeff actually pulled this rug, all grimy and gross, out of the attic, and I cleaned it up.  It was quite the find!

The Milt

Have a lovely evening, everyone!

Very cool!  I've been thinking of doing something like this for Luna - I just have to choose the pictures and a place.

Milt is one proud doodle on the "new" rug...great pictures!

Milt knows that rug was cleaned up for him!

Your wall of pictures is beautiful and I think the star of the show should be very proud!  Wow, the telephone stand is awsome and definitely adds charm to the home.  The rug very cool and definitely adds some color to the hallway.  Great picture of Milt, he is so handsome and really getting big:  Is he a standard?

That telephone stand is absolutely amazing! I love that kind of charm! And Milton is of course a handsome fella!
