WW "A Good Catch"

Something you may not know about me, is that I love fishing. Ha-ha. No really I do. I't something my husband and I can do together. My husband got me into it in our dating days, and I think I am more into it then him sometimes.

Since moving we have been scouting out different fishing spots. We may have found a good one recently. My husband caught 3 catfish and 2 other ones (maybe a white bass?) The fish around here are different then what we are use to.

of course I didn't catch anything - oh well maybe this weekend. ***and don't worry - no fish were harmed in the process. All fish were returned to the water alive and safe, because we pretty much always catch and release. ♥

Refresh Your Home: What to Do With that Awkward Wall

Many homes have them, and many women struggle with the same dilemma you

have: what to do with that awkwardly placed or shaped wall in a prominent place

in your home. Perhaps it’s at an angle in a room that feels like it should be square.

Perhaps it’s an awkward length, and a full-sized couch is too long to be placed

against it, but chairs and loveseats are just too small. Perhaps it breaks up a space

that feels like it should be open and flowing. Whatever the case may be, get creative

with solutions to turn that wall from an eyesore into a prominent feature.

Consider Unique Furniture Options

Perhaps most standard furniture doesn’t fit the space quite right. If that’s the case,

look for unique items that may take a bit more hunting but will be worth the wait.

Many furniture companies now make midi sofas. Unlike other unique furniture items,

you can find midi sofas fairly easily, and they can be a great, cozy addition to your

home, perfect for curling up with the kids to read a bedtime story or snuggling with

your husband at the end of the day. You can also scour thrift stores, antique shops,

and flea markets to find unique pieces. This will take a lot more work, but it’s a great

way to get out with the family or some close girlfriends and look for items that will

enhance your home.

Turn It Into Art

If furniture fails you, or if you do find the right midi sofa and want to add some

pizzazz to your space, turn the wall into art. Custom paint a large canvas in

dimensions that fill most of the wall, or blow up a favorite photograph and have it

framed. You’ll want the art to be stunning and fill the room with something that’s just

your style.

Texturize

You could cover the entire wall in a texture that reflects the style of the rest of your

decor. Wood and weathered planks might work well in some spaces, or tightly

arranged rods of bamboo, adhered to the wall. You could even experiment with

different types of fabric, and perhaps create your own personal tapestry to hang

against the wall. Old windows are a cool option as well -- purchase several at an

antique store, and hang them in close proximity to one another to cover the whole

wall.
