Dressing A Wall With What Ya Got

After deciding that this wall in the dining area was too bland, I added a few pictures from different places around the house.  I had the middle print by the front door, but decided it looked better here.  The smaller frames are a matching set and they both had primitive prints in them.  I took one of them out, and used the frame to put around the thermostat (because it's so ugly and kinda just stuck in the middle of this wall).  Now it fits in a little better, and the frame dresses it up.

See...  Isn't that better?  As you can see, it's set at 75.  That is a record for me, I hate my house this hot, but this summer is killing us in cooling costs, so I had to sacrifice.  Thank heavens for ceiling fans.

And, I added a little flower arrangement.  The jar was a find from back home at a little antique store, and I finally found some rusty hydrangeas that matched the style of the jar perfectly.  It came with a flower arrangement wired metal lid, so it was made for some pretty flowers.  I filled the vase with cinnamon potpurri (from Walmart for 1.00 no less!), and it smells divine.  Cinnamon hydranges, mmm...
